My parents and i came in and it was busy (not packed, which was good bc another First Watch we went…read moreto was packed). I askef if we could get seated outdoors since it wad cold inside and we got sat immediately. Our server was somewhat attentive (asked if we're ready to order, waited a couple more minutes for us to finish deciding). One of the menu items she said something wrong which was fine, i'm glad she tried to ensure I don't get an ingredient that I didn't want on a separate item. The foodrunner was absolutely great! Her attentiveness and overall attitude were great! I wish i got her name so i could give her props on here! The server checked up on us right after the food got to our table and we told her of some things we asked the runner for, but after that did not check on if we got it, how the food was, or if we wanted anything else. She passed by later and dropped the receipt with no explanation or reassurance like a "does everything look good on the receipt?" Or a "if everything looks good you can head up to the front and pay" (we did not know we need to pay up front so we stayed at the table waiting for her to get the card which she didnt check on or point out after 10-15 minutes of us sitting doing nothing). The food was delicious in my opinion. I got the 2 for you with the monterey club and the chicken avocado chop with a pueple haze (i unfortunately did not get a picture of them) but they were good quantity and quality for the price. The price of both is almost the same as if you bought any of them individually (they serve half the portion of each for the 2 for you) but i personally like the variety and trying both items. The salad only had two slices of avocado though which was slightly disappointing but it all tasted delicious. I think it's the best food i had in first watch ever!

After church on an early Sunday, my wife and I opted to try this place out. We were initially made…read moreaware of this place during our initial orientation of the city while we were deciding on a relocation to the area. The guide pointed it out as a popular breakfast joint so we were eager to try it. Upon entering, the place looked cozy (ie tight space) but was around half full of diners. We were asked to seat ourselves. Once presented the menu, we ordered coffee and water before deciding what we'll order for breakfast. Having seen their menu beforehand, my wife ordered their sweet potato pancakes with tater tots and I ordered the Tri Omelet with spuds and wheat toast. Service was slooow, even though the place hadn't filled up yet. It took a while to get our coffee and much longer for our breakfast. My wife liked her pancakes which she couldn't finish and had to take home for a snack later. My omelet was good, although I would've preferred more bacon than ham. All in all, food was good but the slow service took away from the experience. Breakfast for 2 came to just over $41 with tip.

Nevertheless, we came in around 9:30 AM and were placed on about a 10 minute wait. We were seated and immediately noticed the table we were led to had not been cleaned! It still had an empty cup and crumbs on the table. It took a little while to flag someone down to have us moved to a clean table. We placed our order and it took a while before we were even served our coffee and water. Apparently, they were making a fresh batch of coffee. My wife ordered the Founder's Hash and Eggs and I had The Classic. My wife liked the hash, crispy outside and tender inside with good flavor. My breakfast was fine, nothing spectacular. All in all, while we found the food quality decent enough, we came away unimpressed with service quality. We might try this place again outside of a busy day. Breakfast for 2 with tip came out to just under $38.

Seriously, it's a sweet tooth's paradise! After leaving La Hacienda I was craving something sweet. I always pass by this place as I leave La Hacienda and so I had to give it a try. The selection here is insane (in the best way)--so many unique flavors that make it almost impossible to choose. I sampled their Abuelita (Mexican hot chocolate vibes--rich and slightly spicy), Fruity Pebbles (childhood nostalgia in every creamy bite), and Patrón Tequila (yes, tequila in gelato form, and it's as good as it sounds!). But when it came time to make the big decision, I finally settled on Tres Leches and Ferrero Rocher--and WOW. The Tres Leches was a dream come true: velvety, smooth, and perfectly balanced with that classic sweet milk flavor we all know and love. The bites of tres leches cake in between each bite was moist too. As for Ferrero Rocher? Absolute decadence in every bite, with just the right touch of nuttiness and chocolate goodness. Both flavors nailed it on creaminess and texture--it held up beautifully without melting too quickly. And the best part? None of that artificial sweetness. You can tell they use real ingredients. The lady behind the counter was incredibly friendly and clearly knew her stuff. She walked me through the flavors and gave some great recommendations, which made the experience even better. If you're looking for authentic Mexican gelato that's bursting with flavor and texture, this spot is pure gold. Trust me--once you try it, you'll be planning your next visit before you even leave the parking lot.
