I wanted to love this place...I really did. A few blocks from home and all the great reviews? Sounded awesome.
I've been twice. First time was about a year ago...walked in craving Mexican and decided on a burrito (takeout menu is limited ). First off, the takeout area is separate from the dining room and appears to also be the kitchen. A huge amount of pre cooked food in Tupperware and a microwave should have been my first clue but I persevered based on all the good ratings. I asked the staff (owner?) for a suggestion and he said the pork was best so I went with it. About $9 with tax. Got it home and unwrapped it (alongside a cold Corona, of course) and was utterly disappointed. Bland, flavour less rice despite asking for it spicy with a few shreds of (now soggy) lettuce and barely discernable pork. I added my own pepper sauce and sour cream and tried to make the best of it...until about 1/3 through when I bit into a big chunk of cartilage. Eww!!! It's bad enough there was almost no meat and what there WAS it cartilage? Ugh.
Forward a year, more good reviews so I tried again. I went in and wanted to order takeout again...the one staff on hand told me it would be a long wait as there was a medical emergency in the dining room (!) and an ambulance was en route. Hopefully not the restaurant's fault, but I won't be back in any case :(
