I was really hoping this restaurant would be good as I support only local businesses. Unfortunately, after giving this place 2 chances I am very disappointed and what I witnessed in the kitchen I can only give this 1 star. I also agree with many of the other Yelpers comments about this place.
The first time I tried this place was 4 months ago when it was fairly new.
I had asked if I could get a breakfast burrito using the breakfast bowl choices 'to go'. " No problem" the cheery gentleman said. Uh...Problem. The large tortilla was very stale and the ingredients were rather mushy and bland. But everyone and (every place) deserves a 2nd chance, right?
So, a few months later I decided to give it one more try.
When I arrived this past Saturday about 8:45 a.m. the place was quite busy. I waited patiently at the counter for my order and had a good view of the kitchen. What I observed was not pretty. One cook did not wear gloves and was taking slices of bread out of the wrapper, touching the order tickets then placing the slices back inside the plastic wrap. The other cook who was wearing gloves seemed to be either brand new or confused on what he was doing.
The guy that was ringing up orders (handling money) went back to see why orders were taking so long and tried to help out. He actually picked up a clean metal spoon by the scoop part and began scooping berries out of a large plastic tub. (not my order...)
My food did arrive piping hot and cooked by the guy with gloves on. If it wasn't for the fact that I watched every single move he made to ensure he handled the food safely I would have cancelled my order. This time the eggs were fluffy and the ingredients were ample but the dish tasted bland. Nothing that a little salsa, and pepper couldn't cure.
As other Yelpers have commented, the use of styrofoam plates, and plasticware is unacceptable . Why not use foil or paper-based products which are biodegradable or recyclable? For people dining in, use regular dishes (Don't they have water and a dishwasher????)
I will not return to this place due to the multiple health code violations I witnessed plus overall mediocre food. I wanted to talk with the owner or manager about what I witnessed but they were so busy and I just wanted to leave as quickly as possible. BTW- I did contact Maricopa County Environmental Services. Hopefully they will do an unannounced visit very soon. I will not even bother trying their other restaurants.
