But, unfortunately, we got really awful service and my entree was legit gross. Not because it wasn't prepared right - because it was just...an exceptionally werd combination of foods that do not belong together. Let's start with my absolutely bizarre brunch entree. At $8.75 I really feel bad complaining but...it was so gross. I'm sorry. I ordered a kimchi grilled cheese. What does that conjure up? Probably some toasted crusty white bread with a bunch of cheddar or jack and some Kim chi mixed in right? Wrong. This was served on a brioche hamburger bun and when it arrived the top bun was upside down and there was melted cheese on top of the bun (so under it) with a wonton crisp stuck to the cheese. The top (so, bottom) of the bun had a drizzle of soy or ponzu sauce and sesame seeds. The bulk of the sandwich was egg. Kudos for also having avocado but for the life of me I had to dig to find the kimchi. There was no additional cheese other than the small amount stuck to the top of my bun. This sandwich was completely unhinged you guys. The two things in the name - kimchi and cheese - were the two things I struggled to locate. And the egg was kind of sweet. And so was the sauce. But then the rest was super savory. It was a lot of things that are delicious separately but had no business being combined. And WHY was my bun upside down? I have never been so confused by a sandwich. This was a post-modern meta-critique of sandwiches. I am a philosopher of sandwiches. Ceci n'est pas un sandwich. Ceci also nest pas edible. Our elote dip appetizer and chips was decent. A little pricier than our other items. It actually looked and tasted like elote dip so, hooray. My husband's french toast was bare bones, but that is fine given the price. However, it was really dry. We were having a terrible time getting service so he had to flag down a different server to request syrup. Rather than simply informing him there was an upcharge and asking if he still wanted it she said something along the lines of "we don't serve our French toast with syrup because it's already really sweet and we use real so we charge for it so taste it first and see if you still really want he syrup because I don't want to charge you unnecessarily." And then. She walked. Away. And we never saw another server again for the entire remainder of our meal so my husband never had a chance to ask for syrup which, yes, he did want after trying his dry-ass French toast. We were kind of flabbergasted. He is not nearly as much if a spoiled princess as me but that did NOT go over well with him and the idea of a server refusing to bring syrup has been an inside joke between us ever since. Getting drink refills was impossible. I waited too long to write my review so I am struggling to remember what else was so bad about our service, but I remember being pretty astonished. I think at one point our server forgot she had taken our order. So, in summation...this place is fucking wackadoodle. What weird ideas they have about what customers actually want from a restaurant. The place was busy so maybe they have a target market that they cater to and that loves them but...it isn't us.

We met up with family for a long, relaxed brunch at Castle Street Kitchen, and overall it was a…read morevery enjoyable experience with some clear highlights. The restaurant itself is very cute -- bright, open, and welcoming with a casual neighborhood vibe. The bar area stood out in particular, and the bartender was extremely friendly and engaging, which added a lot to the atmosphere. It's also clearly a very inclusive and welcoming place for the local community. Food-wise, there were some real winners. The street corn dip with cotija cheese was outstanding -- easily one of the best items we tried. Flavorful, creamy, and very well balanced. Several of the dishes were visually appealing and generous portions, and the menu has a lot of creative options that go beyond typical brunch fare. That said, there were a couple of execution issues. The eggs on the tots dish were inconsistent -- one was properly over easy while the other was cooked hard, which shouldn't happen on the same plate. Service from the table servers was also a bit underwhelming. They weren't rude, just not particularly warm or attentive compared to the friendliness of the bar staff. Overall, though, this is a solid brunch spot with a fun menu and a great atmosphere. With a little more consistency in the kitchen and more engaging table service, it could easily move into top-tier territory. Rating: 4 out of 5 Would definitely return -- especially for that street corn.

The Patacones aka tostones ($11.15) was basically a small plantain sandwich with tons of shredded beef, slice of fresh mozzarella cheese, green sauce, sweet sauce, sandwiched in between two small crispy tostones. Wish I had some salsa to add to it to add extra flavor. The Asadita Steak ($12.25) was an arepa with carne asada, pico de gallo, green sauce. The arepa dough itself was crispy but a bit too oily. I liked their creamy mayo based spicy sauce they gave in separate containers. Not much vegetarian options other than sweet plantains and cheese. Food was overpriced, but still a solid food truck to try if you are willing to spend extra.
