To be fair, this was my 4th time coming here for carry out breakfast and the prior 3 experiences were definitely 5*! This time I wanted to try a couple of different items and it was very disappointing. The pancakes were ok but a bit overcooked and dry. The bacon was fine but clearly cooked earlier in the morning. The guava pastry was room temp, had a very little filling and was also dry. (I had a coconut pastry last time that was excellent).
The real surprise was the pork tamale. I love tamales and was looking forward to trying theirs. I had my salsa and hot sauce out and ready to dig in. :-) For starters it was very large (maybe a pound?). Wrapped in a half dozen corn husks. Got down to business and the first bite was all masa. As was the next. And the next. Cut open the tamale and there was no pork. Literally nothing but masa. A pork less pork tamale. For $7.50. I am sure they would have replaced maybe everything if I was eating it there but I was home and several miles away so didn't bother.
So, off day for the kitchen to say the least. I certainly hope that it didn't have anything to do to do with the tip. I tipped 20% with Apple Pay which seems sufficient. I will return but will pass on the masa tamale. read more
