DAMMIT JANET I LOVE FOOD 
I think that’s a fair evaluation of their meals. I reckon their sourdough pastries are wonderful though – consider a daytime drop-in for a Danish and horchata if you have a sweet tooth. 🙂
Yes I am definitely a sweet tooth and will try to stop by for something sweet the next time I am in the area!
It looks like you reviewed the small day menue, there diners are pritty impressive , rich deep flavours from south amarican chefs. Well priced.
I agree with you, the staff and courtyard are awesome.
