She enjoyed two lovely cups of their coffee and then I think water, and I had some vino since she was driving. We split a 10 ounce filet mignon (which is not on the lunch menu but is available if you ask for it) and it was beyond delicious! I trusted our excellent server (I think her name was Holly) to select the cut of meat for sister and me from the butcher shoppe, Corkshire, and it was beyond excellent!! It was just as good, if not better than the filet I split with my Sorority Sister when we came here for my birthday in February! Sister and I also shared their take on a bruschetta. It was good; however, for me, it was the "weak link" - I like a traditional bruschetta with buffalo mozzarella, balsamic, fresh ripened tomatoes, etc., and this was more akin to a charcuterie board on toasty bread slices. It looked beautiful! The meat topping was plentiful and lovely, it had more fat on it than I care to have. There was a sort of berry relish on another layer and that's where I called it quits on the bruschetta. My sister did enjoy it, though, which is what mattered! We ordered two mac and English cheddar cheese fritters for Sister, and she really really loved those! They were presented wrapped individually in their to go box, to keep each one warm, and again, Sister, loved them! Neither of us had room for desert which, since Salty Cod has a separate bakery/gelato shoppe, would have offered some delicious options! Thanks, Salty Cod, for another memorable, relaxing birthday celebration!

Since it is in the main part of downtown, super close parking is a bit of a big ask; we parked at a public government building about two blocks down and walked over. The inside is very small and only has a couple of two-seater tables and one bench setup, but there are multiple nice metal tables outside to sit at if the weather is good. Fortunately, we lucked out in that regard, as it was a nice day. The inside of the restaurant smelled absolutely amazing, so I was excited to order. Their lunch menu mostly consists of sandwiches and burgers, with limited sides like chips, broccoli salad, soup of the day, and so on. Bottled drinks and a couple of desserts round it all out. My parents split a Philly cheese steak sandwich with pasta salad; I got a chicken cheese steak with a cup of the soup of the day (potato), and we shared a slice of strawberry pretzel salad for dessert! The employees were nice enough to bring our food out to us while we were at a metal table on the patio, so that was sweet. Food came out relatively quickly and was definitely fresh. Overall, it was fine! My favorite thing was probably the strawberry pretzel salad; I wish I'd had a little more but I should've ordered my own portion! lol. The potato soup had really nice garlicky croutons on top that I enjoyed, though I wish there'd been bigger chunks of potato in it. I liked my chicken Philly just fine though I feel like it was missing some sort of flavor somewhere. My parents felt the same about their regular Philly. Unlike me, though, my mom unfortunately got several gristley bits she had to spit out. The chicken didn't have that same problem. Overall, a pleasant enough experience though I wouldn't say our socks were knocked off, haha. I'd return and try other menu options if I come back in the future.

The market part is decent enough and a good place to grab some Mexican products. I did a walk-through of the market to see if anything caught my eye and then I went to theblittle restaurant located behind the market. As far as the ambiance, there is pretty much zero. None. Nada. Zero ambiance. They don't even have menus or even a sandwich board to list their menu, but rather a handwritten sign on a giant piece of paper hanging by the order window. Also, they had no prices, but I will say it was overall affordable. I had three tacos and they were $2.50 each. I went with the asada taco, chicharon taco and chorizo taco. I contemplated between that and thre birria tacos, but you could only get them as a plate of four and I wanted to try a bit of variety. The food came out pretty fast and they also gave me a little cup of the barbacoa (the meat inside a birria taco to try). The barbacoa was excellent and I kind of regret not getting the birria tacos, I will next time. My tacos were definitely great thought. I was not overly fond of the chicharon taco, but that's just me. The other tacos were great and the two sauces they gave with it were good, particularly the red sauce. I would definitely like here and I will give it five stars overall.

Although the plate was visually appealing, the Birria was a flavorless greasy red liquid. The tacos themselves were as crispy as a wet shower rag. No taste and no distinction between the meat and the cheese. I asked for water and was brought a glass of warm water with no ice, really. I do not think I'll be back and you should avoid this place as well as apparently there is no consistence in the kitchen. Sad. ACTUALIZACIÓN: 14/04/2024 Lamentablemente, solo puedo suponer que Inmigración vino y allanó este lugar y deportó al chef original... La comida estaba a 180 grados desde mi primera visita. Aunque el plato era visualmente atractivo, la Birria era un líquido rojo grasoso sin sabor. Los tacos estaban tan crujientes como un trapo de ducha mojado. Sin sabor y sin distinción entre la carne y el queso. Pedí un vaso de agua y me trajeron un vaso de agua sin hielo casi caliente de la pila, la verdad. No creo que vuelva y deberías evitar este lugar. Aparentemente no hay consistencia en la cocina. Que lastima...
