| - So once again, thank you yelp for showing all the amazing food photos of a place and making me "have" to go there... oh and for already knowing what I want to order before I even step foot inside. The hubs and I (Ok, ... I) tried this place out on a Saturday and I was excited to try the long silong based solely on yelp photos and reviews. The space was really small, though tidy, and there were only 2 other tables occupied. I have to agree with some of the reviews on service, was a quite a wait for drinks, especially when there was no one there. Our server was friendly, though, and have recommendations when asked, so we ordered and waited. And waited. And waited. When we figured that surely the food would arrive any minute we received chips with paprika and salsa. Hubs loved them, unfortunately they were way too spicy for me. When our food finally arrived, he had three barbacoa Benedict, it was beautiful and the portions were huge. Unfortunately for me the garlic rice was way, way, way too garlicky for my taste (and I have always believed there is no such thing as too much garlic!). The sausage was AMAZING though. It came with a side of vinegar and the other server I pulled aside (couldn't find ours, in fact she never checked on us at all) when I asked what it was for said she drowns her sausage in it, and what a great tip, wad delicious.
All in all it was a nice place, but I had to leave 3 stars because of the lack of attention by service (ours at least), and the fact that I could only eat 1/2 of my meal. I couldn't even say anything about the rice because the first time we saw our server after ordering was after my husband had already finished, there was no point. I will probably give this place another try and will ammend my review if it changes, and I hope it does because this spot has potential and I love small businesses.
