I have good memories of this place as a kid. My uncle used to take me here late at night and we'd always order the oxtail soup after patiently waiting in a long line. Hands down, best oxtail soup in town (next to my mom's oxtail soup, of course). Rich in flavor with lots of veggies and tender, meaty beef. Sure, it's been a while but can't forget how delicious this stuff was.
I participated in the Color Run over the weekend and went to Market Street Cafe in the California Hotel by the recommendation of a friend. Located on the first floor, this place is easy to find. The restaurant is really big with ample seating.
Those in my group were craving breakfast food. One ordered steak and eggs, the other ordered a breakfast special. It was your typical breakfast, nothing extraordinary. But what was awesome were the prices! They also have daily specials, which I opted to get. I ordered the Island Short Ribs for $7.95. It's a large serving of braised short ribs in their absolutely delicious sauce. Fell right off the bone and not overly sweet. A side of veggies, brown rice and macaroni salad also came with the dish. I'm picky about my macaroni salad, but Market Street Cafe does an amazing job to get the macaroni salad just right.
I hear that the oxtail soup is still served during late night hours. I hope I remember to go during a night out in the near future.
