visited for the impossible burger, which we had tried in NYC at umami originally. burger was great! def. recommend to anyone.
service was a bit strange.
asked the cashier if the impossible could be made pink inside, because i read some restaurants have been overcooking them (well done) & since the novelty is that it "bleeds" and browns like meat (starts pink). he said it's not real meat, so it can only be cooked one temperature like chicken, but when it came out it was indeed pink inside (and some outside, lol). hmmm.
we were warned there was a "burger backup" so that we would get our fries before our burger. no problem! sitting outside + the wait meant they were cold before we got the burgers, but the staff replaced them when we asked so no big deal. a subsequent employee came by to check on us after and apologise for the delay, or maybe just to make small talk, and we basically had five different staff interactions throughout the night from start to finish.
terrance (sorry if i'm speling his name wrong) was super cool and nice and easy to talk to--very invested in making sure we were having a good time. he's a keeper, hop doddy. hold on to him.
overall:
impossible burger: 6/5 (haha) ($14)
la bandita: 2/5 ($9)
general employee interactions: confusing/5, but generally positive
terrance: 5/5
