How I want to give this place 5 stars. I grappled with it for at least 5 minutes before finally writing this.
The location is killer. Not only is it in 'Slope (which is an awesome neighborhood) but it is an old fire house (complete with garage doors) and has a beautifully shaded patio. Really top notch.
The panino I had, with manchengo, pesto, and salami was AMAZING. Even the chips were good.
The menu was a little lacking in things that interested me but the one thing I found was simply the best.
The service was dreadfully slow. For a couple sandwiches that should only take 5 minutes to make, the 15 we waited was too long.
I grapple with comparing this place to Postino because they are so similar but where Postino succeeds in great service, Bomberos food was just flat out better. So many difficult decisions in life to make and choosing between these two wine bars could be the toughest.
