It is a perk that allows you to earn points for spending $30 - tax and then giving a review. How awesome is that. Getting points to do what I do. COOL! I navigate my way to Pantano's Gourmet Hewlett to find that they have a front and back entrance as well as metered parking in the front and free parking in the back. This is an easy choice! I enter through the back and go down this long hallway to find a Cafeteria style setting with a few table that fits a group setting. I had to look over the menu to decide. I see this as a stop for a quick bite. The service was okay; I ordered and the second person that came to help me told me to have a seat and they would bring it out. I am not really a breakfast sandwich guy, but Patano's Gourmet Hewlett pulled it off effortlessly! I ordered the sandwich called The Eye Opener, which is consisted of egg whites, sliced avocado turkey bacon, pepper jack cheese and it comes on a toasted croissant. This was a pretty good sandwich, and it held together really well. Improvements are needed- please, please, no eggshell in the egg, I hate the crunch. I also ordered two French vanilla coffee's and they were really tasty. I drink one with my meal and took the other home. I also purchased a grilled chicken salad. The salad was just regular. So, I have to go back and by another grilled chicken salad and I will choose the ingredients to add more toppings also to... Inspire more, Yelp more!

Usually the cheese hardens and gets cold pretty quickly, but not here it stayed perfectly melty the whole time Of course, I couldn't leave without trying an asada taco with cilantro, onions, green salsa, and a squeeze of lemon I can't wait to come back and try even more food.Parking was easy with street parking available. Also their tamarindo water was a must !

I love burger shack so this was a test to try their other menu. I ordered 4 tacos, order of nachos and a burrito. Everything was on soft tortillas and the flavors were all done right. Tacos were stuffed! The nachos let me fill them up with all their free toppings and it showed. I could have eaten the nachos on their own it was so packed. The burrito was the size of tall boy can in length and how stuffed it was. My burrito was a custom order the girl at the counter told me about. Being adventurous I got it and the burrito didn't disappoint. It had shrimp, Bacon, Cheese, fried Egg, Guacamole, lettuce, Tomato, rice and beans. I will call it the "latchkey" since it was left behind. It was so good so glad for the recommendation The food knocked me over I had leftovers and will enjoy those as well.

The wood floors worked. The lighting fit the atmosphere. My friend, being the savvy person she is, order online. So by the time we got there, we sat down and they were serving us (isn't technology amazing). The lady serving us was so nice and polite. But my attention quickly turned to my plate. It was a combo of the best they had to offer. The plate, did not disappoint. I was surprised by the flavors and textures. It's not like the Spanish food you get a bars or stores. The portions were generous as well. I took a bit home. I was very pleased with my meal. Going back is definitely recommended. I'm just glad I agreed to try something different. It like I picked the place myself.

You also won't feel robbed in regards to the prices and they'll still give you some fresh hot chips and salsa when you sit down.

I had the plantain quesadilla and the plantain was dry dry dry and tasteless, and there was BARELY any cheese. My husband had the birria quesadilla, which also barely had cheese and the meat was disgustingly dry. The guacamole is made of all limes and no avocado, at least that's what it tastes like. Gross. And a small side of it is $4 which is absurd. We had the carrot cake for dessert which was probably the best dish but it was old and you can tell it's been sitting there.

The staff are very friendly but a bit scattered. It's not enough to be completely bothered by it, just to make note. They seemed to be unfocused. We even ordered Jarritos and had to remind them during our meal. Appetizers: We ordered guacamole since they make it to order and it was soooo good. Probably the best part of the meal. The chips and salsa that they give for the table were pretty good too. LOVE the smokiness of the salsa. My date ordered three separate tacos: fish, al pastor and I think chorizo. He said they were okay, nothing that really stood out to him but he did finish it. They're filling though so three was a good amount for him and he can eat up to 5 sometimes if the tacos are really good. I ordered Mole. Mole is a very difficult dish to get down. I've had really really good mole that's been stewed for hours, close to half a day. I even have the thick paste concentrate that friends have given me from Mexico as gifts cause I love Mole so much. Usually, the sauce is close to a gravy consistency, it's smokey from the chiles, not a strong heat, a hint of sweet from the chocolate, savory etc. The chicken should also be to a point where it's fork tender, you do not need much to take the meat off the bone. Tepache's mole was alright. The sauce was a little thinned out, leaned salty and made it hard for the other flavors to come through. The dish was also supposed to come with tortillas and I didn't realize till I put it in a to-go box that I wasn't given them. Twenty-five dollars for mole is a steal because it is a difficult and time consuming thing to make, but only if it's REALLY GOOD. And this one was just okay. Overall though I still want to come back and try out other menu items. I wouldn't suggest the Mole, but I am curious about other things.
