I am confused what Currito is trying to be. Is it greens, grains and smoothies as the sign says, or…read moredoes it aim to be a healthier version of Chipotle (Cure + burrito = Currito)? You can order from the menu's bowls, wraps or salad or "walk the line" and build a dish from the ingredients set up a la Chipotle. I ordered the first thing -- Superfood because it sounded healthy but I didn't know what was in it (my bad). The calorie counts, carb counts are not listed anywhere and not on the website. It was ok, probably more protein than I needed. Personally I could have done without the raisins (I looked it up - raisins have many benefits) so the salad was ok. My companion really enjoyed their Carolina grains bowl. We also ordered chips and hummus. I think because I am confused by Currito it won't be top of mind for me when I am selecting a place to eat. Do I want a healthy bowl, do I want a salad, do I want a wrap--will I be thinking of Currito? There were a few people stopping in to pick up and we were the only people dining in. It could be that others are confused by Currito as well.

Wow this place is sooo much better than SG. Wife got the spicy chicken salad with poblano dressing. I got the honey chicken wrap. We ate in and I think as a result our portion size seemed huge. It came in a large wide bowl. OMG the flavor was so good. They ask you if you want to go heavy light or medium on the dressing. We went medium. It was perfectly dressed with fresh greens, and tortilla chips and chicken, avocado, red onions and cojita cheese. It was one of the best salads I've had. Enough to feed two. The honey chicken wrap was also huge. Fresh greens with corn and shopped chicken in fresh tortilla. I would definitely return.

Two things stood out to me as I walked into Stacked & Folded for the first time. First was the…read morefriendliness of the staff ready to answer any menu questions I had. Second was the amount of regulars that came in while I was waiting for my food. The customers that came in already knew what they wanted and chatted a bit with the staff. It wasn't overly busy when I was there. I took a bit of a late lunch. It was very clean and the staff was busy putting together to go orders. There were so many delicious sounding options on the menu. I decided to get the short rib banh mi with tater tots. I was really tempted to get the sweet potato fries, but couldn't pass up tater tots. My food came out fairly quickly and it looked delicious. The tater tots were crispy golden brown. And that's exactly what they were crispy and crunchy. The main part of my meal looked great as well. I was so glad that I came across this place. This banh mi was tasty. The meat was cooked well and tender. The Serrano aioli glued the sandwich together. I want to come back and I will come back. I have so much more to try.

Still love this place. Came here again for the Christmas vibes 2 days before Christmas to get some…read morework done. I needed to bribe myself with coffee I didn't make myself and to get out of my house to plow through a bunch of work admin. I took a chance coming here because I know they have some laptop policies, particularly around Christmas. This time it was no laptops after 9am and then none on Friday and weekends during the holiday season. (During the rest of the year it's certain tables that aren't allowed to use laptops and/or certain tables at certain hours). I came in at 7am and it was good motivation for me to knock out a bunch of things efficiently since I have a 9am cutoff lol. They also now put that notice on their front door, which is helpful and was my complaint last year when I came here to do work on a Saturday and found out I couldn't. As always, the coffee was great, and the Home Alone installation is always fun. Their tartines are also always amazing. Definitely keeping this in my regular rotation.

My son got the croissant egg and bacon breakfast sandwich and loved it. I got the yogurt and granola. Both were super fresh and delicious, just wish there was a little less honey on mine because it was a bit heavy for me. I also ordered an almond milk cappuccino and it was SO good. We were there around munch time, and it was moderately busy for that time of day. They brought out the food quickly. Was super cute inside and gave off costal vibes. Already looking forward to coming back and trying more things on the menu.

While the service wasn't terrible, it didn't create the most welcoming vibe, especially for a solo diner. I was unaware that it was half-price burger night--this related to my open ended question to the server. The food was decent, but nothing to write home about. I can see 501 Local being a great spot for locals but as an out-of-towner, I'm not sure I'd prioritize it. The atmosphere didn't leave me eager to return. The half-price burger night idea is nice, but its 20 bucks. Overall, I'd come back only if a companion's preferences lined up with what 501 Local offers. It's a spot for locals, but not for travelers passing through.

There's lots of exciting food options on the route, and I did question myself on if this was worth the effort... it was. Small place, but that just fine. The first thing I noticed as I walked in was the smell, oh what a fabulous scent! Meat and complex spices. No other nonsense, no air freshener, no cleaning supply smell, no candles, just the smell of exactly what your here for. The cones of meat are spinning right in front of you behind the counter. What a beautiful sight. I ordered the lunch special #1. It comes with chicken shawarma, chicken kabob, kefta kabob, rice, salad, pita, and a falafel. Less than 12 bucks! Available from 12 to 3 pm, this is a great value. I'll get the negative out of the way here, I didn't care for the chicken kabob. It just felt over done, but good flavor. Also, the pita was a very generic and dry pita. Likely store bought. Not a huge deal but if pita is in your name I expect a decent one. The shawarma was spot on perfect. I've had my fair share of shawarma at this point and I'd put this up near the top, especially on the local scene. The kefta was my favorite part of the plate, the spices really show up and stand out. Perfect cook as well. The rice was nice with some citrus flavor that balanced the plate out. The salad was very basic but tasted fresh. A special mention for their spicy red sauce. THIS. This is the red sauce I always want but no one does it this well. Just the perfect heat level, at the very tip of my tolerance, with plenty of flavor to back up the spice. This is the best red sauce I think I've had period. I usually love the white sauce but catch me here sweating with a smile on my face and red sauce on everything.
