Description
Ordering follows a direct, walk-up counter style: point to what you want, watch them scoop the portions, and find your own table. The menu focuses on simple, heavily seasoned staples, with locals pointing to the grilled chicken with honey mustard, yellow rice, and black beans as a reliable go-to. While the room gets packed during lunch hours, dinner is usually quieter. Just keep in mind that the seating area lacks air conditioning and can get uncomfortably hot in the summer.
