| - I didn't really enjoy waiting in such a long line to order and pay for my food. I wouldn't recommend going here if you're absolutely starving. If you've never been before, it's not the type of place where you walk in and get seated by a host or hostess. You walk in, grab a menu, and wait in a line until you reach the register. The part that I do like is that you can see the food being made in front of you and everything looked so good, I sort of needed the additional time to choose from all the options. I felt bad for my boyfriend because he definitely didn't expect to wait as long as we did and he looked like he was going to pass out from starvation. We hadn't eaten breakfast and it was going on lunch time. Once you pay at the resister, you can finally sit at a table, but I think the employees purposely slow the line down because they can't seat people until tables open up. We actually ordered an Oatmeal Cream Pie since we saw it in the pastry window by the register and assumed they would give it to us right away. After all, I was afraid my boyfriend was about to pass out. Unfortunately, they brought it out with the rest of the food so it was kind of a waste, but luckily it was still pretty tasty.
I decided to try the Red Bean and Rice Burger (red bean and rice patty, Cajun spices, Monterey Jack, red onion, shredded iceberg, grilled sesame roll, and dip trio). I liked the burger, but I got sick of it after a while. I think the patty is too basic and could use some vegetables or something. My boyfriend ordered from the breakfast menu even though it was after 1 pm. If you're able to grab a breakfast menu at the front and you end up getting stuck in like till after 1 pm like we did, they'll still make you breakfast which is really nice. He ordered the Smothered Breakfast Burrito (eggs, grilled chicken breast, cheddar cheese, salsa casera, Liberty potatoes, flour tortilla, smothered with tomatillo and chile pequin sauce) and it was really delicious. I actually liked his meal way better than mine even though I'm usually a big fan of vegetarian burgers. Additionally, I tried the Mojito and thought it was pretty refreshing.
I would definitely give this place another shot, but I wouldn't necessarily jump at the chance to either (mainly because of the line situation). On the other hand, some of the Yelp pictures for this restaurant look pretty enticing and I love that everything is really fresh, so it's possible I could change my mind. Their Sicilian style pizzas look pretty good and would likely be the next item on my list of things to try if I decided to go back again.
