| - Oh Pittsburgh.....
I think I might have ruined myself by living in California: I can't seem to find much good, innovative, FLAVORFUL food here. Way more misses than hits as of late for me.
I understand the economics of a restaurant and that they need to turn a profit, but the price is too high for what you get...period. I'm not a cheapskate or a poor student, I just know the flavor/quantity/price balance is off. There's innovation here, but it could go SO much farther with a few simple tweaks. I'm know by some people as somewhat of a 'big eater' but when I went I wasn't that hungry, and ate 5 tacos plus fritos and queso, and could have eaten a bunch more.
To their credit, the roast pork was good, but it didn't have anything else to set it off, no other textures or flavors to accompany. Also props on making their own bacon, I hope you like it extra smokey tho. I might return to try the things they were out of when I was there, the chicken and brisket, but it will only be for a snack
The reason they got 3 stars instead of 2: THE HORCHATA! Super excellent, I'm more likely to stop by for a to-go horchata than anything else.
