The hostess was wonderful and our waiter - whose name was either Jack or John; I just couldn't keep that straight - was perfect, answering questions, checking on us several times, engaging in just the right level of friendly conversation. We chose to sit on the bar side and I liked the atmosphere very much. The other side was pretty crowded when we arrived on a weekday around 1 PM. Food came quickly and was fresh and delicious. Soup of the day was a sausage chicken gumbo so I had to try a cup of that. Chunky, hearty and full of homemade flavor. My husband had the single grilled pork chop with vegetable of the day plus mashed potatoes. The chop was big and plenty satisfying. Potatoes were house-mashed, just lumpy enough with bits of red skin and an amazing gravy. He was very impressed that the veggies, including the carrots, were cooked so nice and tender. I had the Avocado Chicken Club which was perfection. I took the cilantro mayo on the side so I could apply it at leisure, and I also enjoyed dipping my parmesan fries in it. This was also an ultra-satisfying portion, in fact I decided to polish off the fries and took about half the sandwich home which was super delicious that evening. The roll was so soft and fresh - everything was super fresh. Although we were beyond full, the homemade dessert menu was impossible to resist so we took home a piece of bread pudding, which was, unsurprisingly, excellent. Convenient parking lot in the rear, just note there's no rear entrance so it is a bit of a stroll to get to the front door. BaCall's is quite a ways from my home, boo hoo, but we try to get out and about a lot so if I'm anywhere in the vicinity be sure I'll stop again. Winner!

    They have a station in the Cafe at UC Medical Center currently, which is where I ordered from. The…read moreservice was friendly and helpful in describing their offerings - this stationed was run by their employees, not hospital cafeteria employees. I had jerk chicken on penne Alfredo. Topped with sautéed onions and bell peppers, Caribbean slaw, jerk sauce and aioli. The flavors mingled well together with a little bit of spice/heat to it, which I loved. Everything was perfectly cooked and the textures combined worked well together.

I ordered their island rice box: Jamaican rice & beans, Caribbean slaw, mango salsa and of course their jerked chicken. The mango was bright and tart, the slaw was crisp and creamy, the rice soaked up some of the flavor from the smokey and succulent chicken. I would eat this once a day if I could! The plantains were perfectly sweet with just enough sear and caramelization. I actually dropped my first order seconds after collecting it, and they replaced it free of charge rather than let me enact the five second rule. If you see this bright green truck, do not fail to stop!

    Group dinner. About 10 of us…read more My first time here. Drinks, Pepsi ....no thanks. A lot of fancy cocktails, many in my group say they we very good. Chips and salsa , I heard they were good also. I am strict keto. My wife and I share fajitas for 2. The best I ever had. Great taste. Great service. Fun and popular party restaurant. I forgot photos.

    Went to get some Mexican food (Lived in TX for past 13 years)…read more Well... They had great presentation. If you want an expensive drink with a lot of candy flair then this is the place for you. If you simply want a large draft beer or a simple margarita and pay a lot then this is the place for you. Chicken fajitas was tasty but chicken was a little dry. Also ordered some fried shrimp. They were dark brown (burnt). I payed my bill and received $1 back (should have been $1.35). Now before some of you retort it is only 35 cents, it was the principle that I am owed $1.35. A male manager took my payment. The change was returned by my server who apparently spoke no English when I said I only received a dollar and still needed 35 cents. She was finally able to get the manager who took my bill and I told him he owed me 35 cents. His demeanor was initially to act like he did not understand until I started to get firm with him. He then suddenly understood and scoffed an expression in my request for "only" 35 cents. It is the principle my friend. The "I dont speak english" game does not work on this asian. Especially when you are the manager of a restaurant whose patrons are all English speakers and no Hispanic customers. Now my server I believe had a rudimentary understanding of English, I hope the restaurant management does not take advantage of their employees. Given how the manager treated me, I would not be surprised. I usually tip well given my experience working in an restaurant back in the day. I tipped lower based on the food and no one checking back after the the order was taken. I further reduced my tip after the 35 cents scam. It is a nice looking place but lipstick on a pig as my elders used to say. The withholding your coins scam makes it worse. Stars: 1 - Just go on a fast or eat dirt 2- Crazy hungry or someone else paying 3- Not bad and not great 4 - Yummy Yummy 5 - OMG! I ate my fingers too!
