| - Just got back from my second trip to Yoli's in less than 7 days. That's how good it is! My first trip was late on Saturday morning and I immediately fell in love with the outdoor patio/courtyard area. It was a tad too hot to sit outside, so we opted to sit indoors. We sat looking out over the patio and Yoli and Vanessa (owner/cook and waitress/front of house, from what I can gather) were immediately friendly and welcoming. They specialize in breakfast and lunch and we got the carne asada skillet and the carne asada breakfast burrito. I would have liked the burrito to be a little more spicy than it was, but they make their own pico and marinate their own carne, so it was still pretty yummy. You'll also see later on, that they are totally open to customizations, because you can tell they aim to please.
Went back for lunch today and sat in the courtyard. Such a beautiful area that is tucked away on the side of Arizona Avenue just south of the 'new' downtown Chandler. Yoli came out and brought us a complimentary plate of apple crumble that she had made that morning - what a nice touch!
We got to talking about the menu and we found out that we have the same love for Spam that we picked up from our childhood upbringing. She said that on Monday's they do Spam & eggs (with white rice) - which is one of my all-time favorite breakfasts... hard to find in a restaurant.
She said she didn't have the white rice at the moment, so then she got to thinking and decided to make me a Spamburger. She did spam, melted american cheese, fried egg, and a grilled tomato on top on a burger bun. MMM! A new menu item totally made up on the spot, and it was soooo delicious. She gave me a side of fresh fruit (apples, peaches, grapes), and served us pineapple infused water. I love the "island" theme to their menu... they use a lot of pineapple in their dishes and insist on using fresh fruits. So hard to find in restaurants nowadays.
My lunch buddies ordered the Cali Wrap with the Cole Slaw. Can't speak for the wrap, except that it looked very yummy. I got a taste of the slaw and it had a nice kick to it (from the green chili's or jalapenos they put it in). I'm not a fan of cole slaw, but this was good and I would order it next time.
I'm excited to make Yoli's my new Go-to breakfast and lunch spot. They don't get much traffic because of their location, but they've got everything going for them: good atmosphere, good menu, good service. I must confess, I like that they aren't so busy, because then I can really settle in and feel at home. But I know they need to be busy to be successful, so I hope things start picking up for them.
I can't wait until November when they start opening up on Sundays!
