Diana's Food & Restaurant

Love this place!!!! Awesome sandwiches.

4.5 stars

Nice hidden gem just a block or two south of the Norwegian American Hospital.  The inside isn't anything fancy, a convenient store atmosphere with an open walk up kitchen in the back with seating in the middle.  

Prices were really good as a pork with rice and beans dish was $8 and came with fresh bread and green chile sauce.  Portions were of generous size.  My only complaint was that I wish the rice and beans hardly had any flavor.  I know traditionally rice usually doesn't have a flavor to begin with but this tasted like plain white rice.  I also got a Malta Goya to drink, which reminded me of an amber or Oktoberfest beer minus the alcohol content as it tasted very malty.  I like how they put various plates of dessert (flan, raspberry cheese cake, cinnamon, and coconut rice pudding) in the fridge doors since you can take one whenever you want without asking.  I highly recommend the flan, delicious!

Service was very good as they let me read the paper while eating without paying for it.  Seemed like they get plenty of regular customers that know each other quite well.

This place is effing gross.  gross food gross service gross drinks gross atmosphere gross tables.  don't do it.  and it's overpriced to boot.
