Ordered food to go - got the broiled fish sandwich with garlic new potatoes, we ordered the blue corn nachos, and lastly got the hummus trio with seared ahi.
Broiled fish sandwich: really? The fish was actually only about 50% of the size of the sourdough bread it was placed on. If you were to eat this as a sandwich you could take around 2-3 bites on each side without ever biting in to fish. Pics to follow. The potatoes were great and it was appreciated that the aioli type sauce was in a separate container for me to use at my own discretion. The fish flavor was fantastic, however, when I order any type of sandwich I expect proportional sizes of the bread to ingredients making up the sandwich itself.
Blue corn nachos: was appreciated that the corn chips were separated out from the goop that makes up the nacho topping - flavor was good, not over the top but definitely an item worth another order.
Seared ahi with hummus trio: normally we order the grilled chicken with hummus trio but wanted a different protein- the flavor was good as usual, however, the number of seared ahi pieces seemed about in half of what has been received at other locations in Tempe (both the old location and new). Flavor was good but seeing the lack of ahi was a bit frustrating. No pita was provided with the meal either.
Why is this a 2 star rating?
Had I not eaten at pita jungle dozens of times over the last 9 years at this location and others around the valley it would have likely received more stars. Coming from past experience where I know there is never a skimping on portions or on the quality of the food provided this was a giant let down.
I have eaten a few times at this location for lunch and even at the peak of the lunch rush the attention to the detail of food is far higher than it was tonight.
Hoping this isn't a permanent problem for this location, however, it has left me questioning whether pita jungle will get further business from me if the inconsistency becomes a habitual problem.
