| - Ordered delivery from here one day. I had only remembered the good Yelp reviews, not the comments about the owner/service.
So I place an order on Just-Eat and get a call maybe 10 minutes later - very little pretense, no trivia questions (thankfully, as I don't know if I could have handled it then), just thanking me for supporting the restaurant and asking me to pick a free thing for my first order there. It was a little difficult being put on the spot, especially because the combo I picked already came with a drink and cake (so I wasn't getting more of those).
In the end, I got the pulled pork macaroni and shrimp quesadilla (the latter of which came with a strawberry-kiwi drink and a nanaimo bar - my choices). The freebie was an order of plantains.
The macaroni was great - not very cheesy but saucy, savory, and tasty. The pulled pork had onions and red peppers and was nicely flavorful. It was an unusual dish - almost like a hot macaroni salad. Kind of garlicky but I liked it. This was the best thing I ordered.
The quesadilla could have had more cheese but was also tasty (and also had onions and red peppers, actually). The side salsa was boring and side sour cream was watery but nobody orders it for that. It was a little difficult to tell what I was tasting when I took a bite - whether it was shrimp, onion, pepper, or whatever - but it was good.
The plantains were unimpeachable and I have zero complaints. Getting them for free was cool. The nanaimo bar was probably not made there, honestly, but it was a nice, serviceable treat. The food I got ended up tiding me over for a good 3-4 meals.
I would love to order from here again.
