You can do takeout or dine-in, but even when dining in, you look at a menu, pay at the counter, and then it eventually comes to your table. I was lucky enough to come in when there was only one table and some takeout customers. As I left, several more people came in, so this place can become crowded. Aurora's is Guatemalan. They have a lot of brekkie stuff--huevos rancheros, omelettes with veggies, sausage, peppers, ham, sausage, etc. Breakfast sandwiches (BEC, beans, queso, ham, turkey, avocado, cheeses). Burritos (chorizo, loaded, veggies). Appetizers, like tacos, nachos, tostadas, and more. Sandwiches (burgers, steak sandwiches). Bowls and salads (house green, classic caesar, burrito bowl). Quesadillas and wraps (turkey avocado, buffalo chicken, churrascov, burrito, chicken bacon ranch). I had the Churrasco. It had a lot of fat, but it was more steak than fat, and the fat came off easily. The meat was tender and fall apart. I ordered the fries, but got rice, and that was okay. The black beans were great. The salad was a little palate cleanser. The thing I LOVED, ADORED, would help me ignore the fact the restaurant was so cold that I had to keep my coat on and shivered throughout my stay--the drinks. They have these great fruit drinks--grilled pineapple lemonade (my choice), homemade horchata, fresh melon juice, watermelon juice, etc. My choice, the grilled pineapple lemonade--I literally sucked that stuff down. It was fresh, refreshing, not too sweet, but just sweet enough. Let's go back to my elder millennial roots--"It's all that and a bag of chips." Would come here again, food, drinks, and service are great, but turn up the heat please!

I ordered from Aurora's via DoorDash and had a great experience overall.

The sandwich had that street food-style flavor I was craving, and the bread was soft but held everything together nicely. The sweet plantains were tasty and ripe, but a little on the greasy side for my liking. The watermelon juice was fresh, light, and refreshing -- not overly sweet, which I appreciated. Even though I didn't dine in, I've passed by the spot and it always smells amazing and has a warm, welcoming vibe. My order was neatly packed, and everything arrived intact, which shows care and attention to detail on their end. That kind of service goes a long way, even through delivery! Can't wait to stop by in person soon -- if the food tastes this good through DoorDash, I can only imagine how much better it is fresh off the grill.

He gave it a 5. Fantastic review from this picky eater. It was fairly pricey for a sandwich with no sides included. This being said, I'd like to go back for breakfast.

Grab & Go Deli on Farmington Ave is seriously THAT spot…read more I always stop here when I'm in the area, so I definitely had to leave a review. This time I grabbed a wrap with BBQ chips and a Canada Dry Ginger Ale Cranberry; simple combo but it hit every time. Fresh, flavorful, and made just right. What I love most is that you can fully customize your order. I added avocado and bacon to my wrap and it took it to a whole different level. And let's talk about the options. They offer halal options, burgers, sandwiches, salads, wraps, breakfast, smoothies... it doesn't matter what you're craving, they've probably got it. It's one of those spots where everyone in the group can find something. Consistent, quick, and reliable. Definitely one of my regular stops on Farmington Ave. If you're nearby and need something fresh and filling, this is the move.

The bagel was good but what I got wasn't what I ordered and I didn't realize until I left. Great spot to stop in when you're in a hurry.

I would go back for that alone. Honestly, I don't even know how to properly describe this place. It's part restaurant, part spectacle, part fever dream. You don't just go there to eat. You go to experience whatever the hell is happening. 10/10. Just go. You'll understand, man.

I say this so readers will consider that my perspective may not be the same as those that live in the area. So with that caveat, I must provide this disappointing review. To begin with, Sally & Bob's is located in a very busy area with very limited curbside parking so that even getting there can be an inconvenience. Once we arrived, the staff was slow to seat us and slower still to take our orders. I'm not talking about a place that isn't rushing you to order, more like somewhere that could care less about their customers. The food was decent, but nothing special. I will not be returning or recommending it. Candidly, my impression is that it seems to be a place that caters to locals who know: 1) not to wait to be seated, 2) what they want to order as soon as they sit down, and 3) know the staff consider them "regulars". If this is you, it may very well be what you're looking for as there is no "hurry up, eat and leave" approach.

There are also fresh accompaniments such as lime wedges and pickled onions, which should add a nice acidic contrast to the richness of the tacos. The consommé looks flavorful with herbs and a deep red broth, suggesting a well-cooked, spiced stock that's perfect for enhancing the taco experience. The melted cheese on one of the quesadillas suggests it's been griddled to a nice texture, adding another layer of indulgence. Overall, this meal seems satisfying, with bold flavors, contrasting textures, and the perfect balance of richness and freshness from the condiments. The meal likely delivers a comforting, savory experience with plenty of flavors from the slow-cooked meat and broth.

We stayed and observed this woman constantly wiping her face and mouth and still preparing food, cutting potatoes possibly for home fries.

The food wasn't bad tasting, in fact the food tasted good. But, we did end up getting very sick after we left. Ruined the rest of our day. I barely made it home. Unfortunately, we won't be back.

That's because when you pull into the shopping plaza.....you don't see it. But if you circle around to the right, you'll see it on the side of the strip mall's buildings. And trust me, this spot is definitely worth hunting down to experience a standout breakfast or lunch. We walked in a little before 1:00 yesterday and found a table for two in the back left corner of the dining room, so we had a good view of the entire room. I have to tell ya, the place was packed! Breakaway closes at 3:00 every day except Sunday (2:00), and there were breakfast and lunch menus out, plus a few daily specials. My wife went with a "William's Ham Panini" ($17) with thin sliced ham, bacon, caramelized onions, cheddar and honey mustard on a grilled panini. We both were struck at how much ham was piled onto her sandwich. She had a few choices for a side dish and put her nickel down on potato salad. I went with The JT Salad ($16). The menu says it's been their "best-selling salad 25 years and counting". It was a big portion of mixed greens served with house balsamic dressing, grape tomatoes, gorgonzola cheese, and grilled chunks of teriyaki glazed chicken breast. It was stellar, with plenty of that yummy cheese and chicken. The only sour note with our lunch was a rather steep $4.25 for a glass of iced tea that was half-filled with ice. The food was very good and a decent amount of leftovers came home with us for another day. I was unexpectedly impressed by how crowded Bistro was on a random Monday. I bet you'll be too.
