| - Holy moly, why have I never heard of the pasty for the so many years I've been alive!? Simply put, the pasty is the premium version of an empanada....and a super deluxe version of a hot pocket.
The boy and I drove here Saturday night around 8:30. The place was packed, and we waited about 15 minutes for a place to sit. We were, as many others have mentioned, confused about where to go to get seated. A guy beyond the counter told us to just find an empty table to sit. I tried his technique and was stopped by another guy who told us to wait, and he'll get us a table.
I asked our server to see what's the most popular pasty, and he said there is one single pasty that sells more than the other. So I would just suggest go with what you're feeling for the day. I ended up with The Royales with Cheese, and my boy got the Bangers and Mash. The Royales is basically a cheeseburger stuck inside the delicious, warm, buttery crust. It had a weird garlic taste to it, which I didn't care for. The thousand island that came with on the side didn't go well with my pasty. I still garbled that thing up regardless though. I tried a piece of the Bangers and Mash, and I'm not a fan of it. I don't normally like eating pork, so I wouldn't have ordered this. The boy really enjoyed it though.
Now, unto the BEST part of the meal...this is none other than their Banoffe Pie. I HAD to get this even though I was already stuffed. I have never had anything like this. Thick, crispy graham with creamy, homemade caramel, topped with whipped cream and slices of banana. I've got a sweet tooth, and that banoffe was definitely one of the best desserts I have ever had! I would definitely come back to this place again and again the next time I'm back in Arizona.
