    This place didn't have yelp so I had to include them! It's right next to a gas station! If you are looking for an authenticate Hispanic spot (Mexican, Salvadoran food) look no further. Soon as you walk in you'll smell the authenticity of her food. This looks like a one person shop but she nails it! I was stuck between Carnitas and Asada Burrito so I asked for her recommendation and got their carnitas burrito. It's one of those burritos where you can't finish it in one sitting I was above average hungry and still failed lol but that tells you something about their servings size Waited around 10 minutes for the food but can't complain since you get it right out the kitchen. She has Spanish music in the background so it gives you the feels when you used to visit your Tia or Abuelita. Such a welcoming place, she's awesome Place is such a vibe, aiming for their coffee next For the price, serving portion, and service... easy 5/5.

    Beautifully made baked goods Highly recommend…read more Carrot cake for Easter was the best I've ever had. Support local artisans please

    Very poor experience this morning. I had my dog with me - ordered latte and a berry croissant…read more Overpriced ($16!), but wanted to support a local business. All was going fine, and we were happily bopping to the music while my pastry was being heated, but my pup yelped at a clearly non-dog person and the manager (?) came out screaming at me "THAT DOG CANNOT BE IN HERE!!" I am happy to avoid businesses with anti-dog policies if they are posted (was not). And, by law, a business has to ask you if it's a service animal before asking you to leave. Regardless, I would have been happy to leave with my already purchased product, but the woman kept screaming while I was waiting for them to hand me my pastry. I was so embarrassed and angry with her attitude, I spilled my coffee on the sidewalk outside as I was trying to get away from her. There are service-oriented ways to address this type of situation - yelling at your customers is not one. Especially followed by a snide "have the day you deserve" as I was leaving. I will never return and will discourage others. Ftr, went to Flour Garden and after hearing the story, they gave me a discount on my replacement latte. The pastry sucked, by the way - overdone on the outside, claggy on the inside and no flavor.

    Our second visit here & the four of us enjoyed our breakfast…read more Busy place on a Sunday morning and about a 20 minute wait. Started with a Cappuccino & a Mocoa,both were hot, delicious and not overly sweet. I had the full order of Lobster Eggs Benedict. Eggs cooked as ordered, generous amount of lobster, Jalapeno holidase, avocado ,crunchy well seasoned country potatoes, filling rich and satisfying, dusted off the whole thing. Mrs D had the Corn Cakes, substituted chicken sausage for the hot links with eggs over easy. The Corn Cakes were similar to potato Pan cakes, slightly garlicy with a spicy aioli sauce. Well executed and she loved it. Even though they were at full capacity the service was top notch and all the employees we encountered were smiling and helpful.

Unfortunately, none of our food was very good this time. My husband got the Jamaican jerk burrito and it was too spicy, not necessarily hot spicy, but overly seasoned with spices. My husband said you couldn't taste anything else aside from all the spices. My lobster melt was very dry. Something of note-- they don't have ranch dressing. What they do have is a creamy garlic feta that was decent. It was very busy and the wait went by quickly, but our food took forever to come out. Breakfast had been very good, but unfortunately, lunch was not that great.
