eat? more like weak. first off, i just want to say, what a lively and well thought out title you have!! it does absolutely nothing for the ambiance, environment, or atmosphere.
so we go into this place that closes in 45 minutes (2:00pm) and we are seated with an effortless menu in our hands. if you have seen the 90's movie "my cousin vinny" then you had a choice of:
breakfast
or
lunch
i had the lunch, my mother had the lunch, and my sister had the breakfast. the prices were steep for no apparent reason. i'll tell you why.
this "cafe" sits behind the newly constructed container park near the downtown area and gives off no connection to the "urban" look that the whole community is looking for. if this place is not known by word of mouth then one would think it was an old relentless leasing place trying to scrape money to stay and keep its doors open. you would also think it has been here at least since the early 80's.
good for them for putting their name out there by social media, but i honestly don't see how this is going make it for long. thefoodscreams help at the top of its lungs because they are in desperate need of taste, flavor, and palate cleansing. with a menu that only has maybe and i mean maybe 3 or 4 choices for lunch or breakfast that their descriptive plate names would coincide with thefoodthat you get. i feel like the kitchen is saying, "heh heh heh, just kidding no soup for you and if you want pico de gallo then cut up your own tomato." yes folks, i asked for pico de gallo but all i got was chopped up tomatoes in a ginormous bowl with one scoop of pico in it (i got charged $.50 for one scoop of a tomato!!) so anyways, we get ourfoodand it is simply not- that- great. i could've easily gone to one of the local casinos that always advertises steak and eggs for $4.99 or even pancakes for cheaper price.
however, the point of going to this place was to seek out some truth that lies behind the whole commutative urban development surrounding the newly improved downtown area. this new area is supposed to cater to the locals that is why they replenished and rejuvenated this whole neighborhood in the first place. well, hello, i did expect the prices to be more for me, the local, not the tourist.
it doesn't matter anymore, what does matter is that if you want to keep your high prices and rip off your customers from not serving urban stylishfoodthan don't stay open too long, and move to the strip where you can rip off all the tourist you want.
