    Pretty good place for lunch! Solid sandwiches and burgers. The fries were well seasoned, and although a little pricey, it is in a spot downtown. My biggest issue is they have signs everywhere charging for condiments. As a sauce connoisseur, that dissuades me a bit. Came out pretty fast, well seasoned, overall a great place for lunch.

    Went to the Hall of Records today and stopped by The Spot DT shortly after. Located in the Haberfelde Bldg where Dagny's Coffee used to be, The Spot offers a straight forward menu of quick bites for breakfast and lunch. Definitely a short walk from the courts, this is a good affordable option in downtown for those days when you have to serve your civic duty. They offer daily lunch specials from pizza to Taco Tuesday that come with a regular size foundation drink. The service is quick and you'll generally see the owner up front, cashiering or even whipping up your order at the back. The atmosphere is relaxed in this area, with plenty of tables to get a bite or even work while you eat. I had the chili verde tostada salad today and though it looks like a small portion at first glance, the tostada was filled with chunky, fork tender pork that was moist and delicious. It wasn't overpowered with beans and rice either so it was satisfyingly delicious lunch meal.

    Philly cheesesteak

    A little hard to find, it literally is a small spot , downtown. It is inside of a building and they share a space with a coffe spot, and a few other businesses. Easy to order. Food and service was great. We went during Christmas break and since there are two doors on either side of the building with alot of foot traffic, it was pretty chilly in there. Philly cheese steak was great 5 stars. Birria tacos had a nice flavor, salsa was on point but they were slightly over salted. Nothing a little lime couldn't fix. For the pastrami, I am not sure if that is how they are supposed to be. I have only ever had one other in my life at boots in the park and that one had a twist to it and was delicious. This one was dry and plain. If that is how salami traditionally is then count me out.

    Nice little spot down town, I believe as long as you follow directions it's not hard to find. Now let's get to the review: My husband had the Cuban Sandwich since he has been craving in for quite awhile. I love the layers of flavors this sandwich has that come together to deliver the perfect experience in your mouth. If you like the Cuban sandwich you must try this spot, let me tell you there's a TWIST "pork belly", he uses it instead of pulled pork, it's genius! It's a good solid sandwich compliments to the Chef! Pizza Fries, my 9 year old wanted to try them but in all true reality we all had them. If you try them with your eyes closed your mind will be fooled into thinking it's eating pizza. The flavors are all there. We enjoyed them and enjoy how they just marry together to live up to the pizza name. I save mine for last: the Quesa--Birria Tacos. I love that they serve plenty of the birria juice to dip your tacos in and the drink the rest. It's perfectly seasoned and it does have a tiny kick of spicy so just be aware, but truth be told it's the way it should be served. I do find it could use a little more meat but that's just my preference I like my birria to be seeping out of my tacos lol. I would compare them to the street size tacos. The flavor is on point for the birria. These are a must try for those birria fans and yes drink your consumé at the end it's delicious. A shout out to the owner Chris who was very busy working on making FRESH AGUAS frescas. I have mad respect for owners who work side by side with their crew, best of luck and I hope you continue to bring your crazy creativity to the downtown 661! We will be back for sure.

    Esquite (comes with slice of lime)

    So flavorful and fresh! I loved every bite! The Tex Mex salad is loaded with red bell pepper, radishes, lime, tomato, cucumber and sautéed onions. I added fish which came fried and delicious. What really made this salad come together was the avocado sauce. I love the avocado sauce! Mild and light, it really added so much flavor. The Esquite was also creamy and yummy. It came with a nice slice of lime and seasoning. The meal came out to be $20 (that's including the door dash fees and tip). Very reasonable and good portions. This kept me full all day. Ordering through Doordash was a breeze too! The cheap delivery fee (only $0.99) is also something to celebrate. :)

    Stop in due to the good reviews. I ordered the Keto tacos, I ordered the sweet potato fries too but then was told they were out. The tacos, were salty and full of grease, I only ate one. I left disappointed, I tried but not a fan.

    Baked 7 Layer Chicken Poblano Casserole with rice and beans
    Bess B.

    Tried this place a few months ago, when the pandemic hit and all restaurants were closed for dine-in. Saw on postings of lunch and breakfast deals on a Facebook page dedicated to local restaurants. At the time, this place was advertising any burrito for $5 and $10 any burger combo with fries and a drink. I ordered the wet burrito with shredded beef. It was absolutely delicious!! So flavorful, and for $5, a good deal! A few months later, I decided to try a different special, the Baked 7 Layer Chicken Poblano Casserole. It was tasty, but I think I'm sticking with the wet burrito again next time. It was just the flavor I was craving. All in all, this place is nice. It's located in the courtyard of an older business building downtown. It's almost hidden, and the only reason I found it was because of the COVID pandemic! Will definitely be back for their $5 burrito specials on Mondays!

    Bacon Cheese Burger Combo.
    Yvonne J.

    Found this place on a local delivery app, I have to say it is pretty tasty. We have ordered from here 2 times this week. Bacon cheese burger was yummy. Can't wait to try it again.

    Avocado Bacon Burger

    Definitely a hidden gem! This place is stored away in a building- that deserves to be recognized by everyone! I approached the counter and saw a friendly little girl taking orders. We ordered two street tacos: one shrimp and one fish and an avocado burger combo. We sat at the seats and enjoyed our meal, we were checked on a couple of times - so I enjoyed the attentive customer service. I'll absolutely be back!

    We had the Cuban and the cheeseburger. Both were very very good and make up for the poor service. We did there reviewing menu along with a couple of women that walked after us. The cashier walked over to the front and with a some irritation asked is any was ready to order, we all said we were looking at menu. There was no friendliness in her voice or attitude. Made us feel as if we were bothering her. We placed our order and we're given the little light device that lets you know you're order is ready. Instead of notifying us of order, she brought it out, one over at a time... That's when we decided we'll just take this home to enjoy... Again, the food itself was very tasty. It somewhat made up for the poor service. Would I come again??? Debating that...

    Lunch 3 tacos, beans and rice!

    How much is it for all you can eat tacos?

    That was a promotion in April!!!! It was 12 bucks

    Do they offer mimosas?

    Not that I am aware of. I don't even know if they sell beer.

They load you up with meat that are all cleverly seasoned and prepared. Asada has smokey taste to it that I think some places lack. Pastor has the perfect blend of sweet and spicy . Buche is savory and doesn't feel like you're even eating offal. Everything is loaded up! The loaded potato has about a 1/2" lb of meat or more. The quesadillas are plump! Meat almost falls out. Sauces and other accompaniments are self serve and you can get as much as you want. Their chipotle salsa is spicy but damn is it good. They even have spicy onions that I never see. While you wait for your meal and watch the taquero at work, they have beans, tostadas, nopal, grilled onions and jalapenos all just sitting there FOR FREE. They also have some tiny potatoes soaking in the meat juices if you're lucky enough that they haven't run out (also for free!). The experience is just so customer forward and this is a gem that I hope expands even more. They have deals every week from buy one get one tortas, $1 tacos at a certain day at each location. It's often they have a line so consider yourself blessed if there isn't.

The place is pretty easy to find on the corner of 18th & R. There isn't a lot of seating for more than parties of 4. We were a party of 6 and we all smooshed into a horseshoe booth inside. There are only 2 of these booths available and they indicated they are not able to place additional seating at the booths. I imagine you might be able to put tables together outside for a larger party. We were greeted warmly, and while I felt overwhelmed by the amazing choices, the gal taking our order put me at ease by walking me through the menu board. We got amazing carnitas quesadillas and tacos and another dish that came on top of a mound of delicious fries. It's the kind of place where you order, then sit down and they bring you the food. We were well taken care of. Our drinks were refilled and they brought us 'to go' boxes. Their portions are generous and just tasty. And the iced tea was perfect! We ordered a full order of chips and salsa. That is extra. It was $6 for a full order ($5 for half) and these chips were well worth the cost. We will be back!

But on a recommendation from colleagues, I was told to make the trip to the central part of town and check out Birria Bros. I'm a convert: It's the best overall place I've had in town. Their menus is simple and laconic without a lot of options: You pick from taco, burrito, quesadilla, and flautas and then you pick the meat: birria, al pastor, or carne. No craziness or Flamin' Hot anything. This is my kind of establishment already. The service is no-frills: It's an iPad with a cashier, and you get one of those pager things that buzz/sound when your food is ready. And then your food gets prepared in the truck and served. This is all anyone needs in life. I enjoy their quesotacos. They're a bargain and a great size at that. But my favorite are the flautas: They're cruchy, creamy, and cheesy. The combos are good too because the rice and beans are tasty. Their orange-colored salsa is smoky but absolutely spicy - definitely use with caution but entirely worth the burn. I think the best thing about BB is the value, as you get a great product for what you pay. I wish they'd open a location on the Southwest.

Parking isn't really an issue, so don't worry about that. Staff is really nice. The first time we visited the young lady that took our order was very friendly and interactive. She had a nice warm personality so you feel welcomed when you visit. The owner, I didn't catch his name but he's literally cooking the food in the back.

If you're around the area and don't mind driving out to Union then this is the place. Give them a chance. P.S. they only take cash or Zelle so be prepared and they open in the evenings at 4pm-10pm. You better go before people start hearing about this place and the lines get too long. :-)
