| - They try too hard.
The restaurant is loud and has too much shit going on inside.
I had their beef cheek sandwich, which was the lunch special. I came in at 11:30, expecting it to be, you know, hot, since it's early. Nah, brah. It was kinda cold.
The beef itself was cooked very well, it was extremely tender, but the "chili mocha mole" sauce was neither chili infused nor was there any mocha mole flavour. It totally fell flat. Also it was a really unbalanced sandwich. You might get a bite of strong watermelon pickle which very tasty, but the other bites would be lacking flavour, and it just had a flavour profile of "all over the place". Sweet corn, mild beef, powerful pickle and an odd green sauce just... didn't add up to a good sandwich. Definitely not work $10. Maybe $3s, but even then, I'd opt to go for lunch elsewhere.
They *do* have Mario Kart on N64 available for you to play, which was pretty sweet. Other than that, this place tries harder than those hipster restaurants down in San Francisco.
