| - You want (to break your fast) bfast? They will add an egg to ANYthing you ask, noon or (late) night.
The service is very 'user friendly' and not over attentive, great laid back neighborhood ambiance and menu and a long comfortable barfront. A bit pricey, about $1-2 more than I am most comfortable paying.
Their burgers...oh my! Layers upon layers of savory flavor. I got the Nogales burger with an egg. It arrived stacked high, a creation of art.
Downside? I always order my red meat medium rare. My burger was definitely medium. Now, there is such a thing as "carry over cooking," something that happens when flesh continues to cook beyond the time it is directly exposed to heat--something I learned from James Weston Haynes, the MOST ILLUSTRIOUS instructor extraordinaire of food science cooking at Glendale Community College (TAKE HIS CLASS IF YOU CAN!!!). I believe this is what happened to my burger.
My server was advised of my disappointment (the situation was unmistakable). He made the noble offer (replacement). I declined as I am wont when, 1) I am disappointed, 2) in a time crunch, or 3) oh, many other reasons...
He then "presented" me with a specialty of the house, a plate of mini donuts. This act was gracious, thoughtful, and strategic--because it recovered his score. I cannot say that I enjoyed them much because at the time I was not inclined to devour sugar (see my profile). Nonetheless, the gesture served him well.
I would be a regular if it was my "hood.
