The pastries looked beautiful, but ours were dry and surprisingly dense. The café itself also felt fairly plain, so it didn't quite live up to the hype for me. I'd suggest putting a bit more focus on the pastries so they taste as good as they look. I'd still be open to giving it another try.

I had been driving since 5:00 in the morning from El Paso, and was hungry and needed something to…read moreeat as I was starving. And found myself heading 2 mi inland to find this particular Starbucks. What a nice little hidden gym. This place was actually very nicely laid out, plenty of parking outside, and inside. Plenty of seating and table options. People behind the counter were nice and friendly, not as chatty as some but it didn't matter, I'll take friendliness over talkativeness any day of the week. They took my order, scanned my phone and within minutes my order was right there. By the way, use the restroom before picking up my order. It was nice and clean, and made for a very nice experience. My go-to as always is the turkey, bacon, egg, white sandwich, a venti vanilla sugar-free latte, and this time around I tried the matcha strawberry loaf. I really enjoyed the matcha strawberry loaf. Loaf it was perfectly sweet and was very very tasty. Bottom line? If I am ever traveling out this way I will definitely stop by the Starbucks again. It's a hidden gem about 2 mi in from the 10 freeway.

Unfortunately, I think their pastries are better than the coffee. My guess about my distaste for the latte I ordered probably comes from the oat milk they used. The shot in the dark guess I have is that they used Kirkland oat milk. It was fine, and if I lived over there I would probably be more inclined to visit. However, I wouldn't really go out of my way.

You could tell right from the start the guys in the truck were passionate about what they did. They showed a high level of excitement explaining their different empanadas and how to reheat them when you got home. On our first attempt, we ordered the ground beef , apple, chicken, pizza, and fatay. They neatly arranged it in a medium size pizza box that had the qualities and included the reheating instructions. Each empanada had initials stamped so you could identify the types without having to bite in to it. Every detail was well thought out with the customer in mind and I thought that was a great touch. Fast forward to reheating and biting in to the empanadas, I found them to be very flavorful. You could tell the flavors were layered nicely. These were so good I went back the next day and walked away with their large pizza box. I pretty much tried everything that wasn't special order. My preference, but I like that it's baked and not fried. The internal ingredients are more pronounced and not masked with fryer fat. The size was perfect in that you can try more than one and not be stuffed. It's quality over quantity and in a place like this it matters. Good stuff. I'll be back. Just under $4 each any flavor.

This time I ordered a 1-1/2 lb of adobo chicken, cooked and chopped, along with 1 lb of skirt steak, cooked and chopped. It was recommended by the butcher to just get salt and pepper on it. We had it with some friends and the reviews were mixed due to heat or spicy levels for each person. I can handle some heat and thought the chicken was good, but it was a bit overcooked. Def needed some sauce on it. A few others tried it and it was too spicy for them. ‍‍ The skirt steak was good but very bland ...that too needed sauce and I guess they can do that when cooking. But at $15.99/lb I expected a bit more flavor. So will I try it again....probably but I will tell them about the chicken next time and get sauce on the steak.
