Arroz con pollo: heaven on a plate. The dish has chicken, chorizo, fried plantains, mixed vegetables, and this perfectly spiced rice. Many of their creations are tasty and the owners are good people!

Thai food that is outrageously good. I order the drunken noodles or the green curry. I have tried many items on their menu including the pad thai and the thai basil which were both 5 stars!

Essentials

This place is a hybrid: a cafe and a market. The place has great food and I like to go there for a quick breakfast. I also stop by in the evening from time to time to purchase ingredients for dinner.
