The lady who helped me was really nice and friendly!
However (yes, here comes the bad part)…
The Flies!!!
Let me repeat that for you one more time.
THE FLIES
There were more flies in there than I saw between all of my stops from my home in Southern California.
The flies were everywhere! I pointed it out to her. She nonchalantly agreed, as if those flies were like family and friends. I was thinking to myself “What the hell?”. Anyways, some sketchy looking young dude (with some strange eye contact) came from the back and started preparing the food. During this time, I started looking at the reviews about this place while I was waiting. 😳 I should have done that first, but I was recommended to this place by a hotel employee.
I should have hit the sandwich shop down the street (a place I have read about in the past). However, I was already committed - having already given her my money. I continued to observe the dining room with the sheer number of flies buzzing around. They were definitely breeding somewhere in this building. There were just too many.
I got my food and left. Back at the hotel, I contemplated just tossing the $14 meal into the garbage can and looking for food elsewhere. I relented on my poor decision-making process and ate the food. The food wasn’t bad, and the flavor was enough to pass minimum standards of acceptance.
Would I go back? No.
There is no reason, too - not with all of the food choices to pick from.
I used google Maps to look at random names of businesses that had the food moniker hovering over the location. Yes, there are some great reviews for “hole in the wall” spots. I even found some young lady who makes custom cookies (from her home) that she started during Covid lockdowns.
Anyways, the empty parking and the fact NO ONE ELSE was there to order food, other than myself, was the gut instinct I should have listened to. Maybe things will change one day… I’ll never know.
