| - I don't want to be too critical of this place - from what I gather, it is fairly new, and it's Kensington afterall, so I went in expecting things to be basic. It started off well - when I asked the server how they prepared their iced coffee, he said "You can have whatever you want - it's kind of like your own kitchen here. Just don't mess with the menu though." Unfortunately things went downhill from there.
I ordered the El Especial, and my friend had the rainbow trout fillet. My friend's fish was nice and light, and served with a green salad with avocado. My breakfast consisted of scrambled eggs, bacon, two flour totillas, and some black beans. It was tasty, but really, it was just a typical diner breakfast of bacon and eggs, with tortillas instead of toast, and a side of beans added.
For $40 (yes, $40 for brunch and a coffee each - in Kensington), I expected more than to have to endure the entire meal in the heat, feeling the sweat work its way through my t-shirt, without even an offer of a water refill. If you are going to have a restaurant without air conditioning, you need to do a little something extra to make your guests comfortable. Also, regardless of the informal nature of your establishment, a quality check is essential. We did not see our server from the time he dropped off our food to the time he came back with the bill.
