Gelatinas Cris #2

I've been in here a few times, and It's very inconsistent. Today I ordered a Milanesa de Pollo, which is breaded chicken, and I wondered where did the chicken go??? I posted a picture because I could not believe how thin it was!!!! It was like eating a potato chip!!!

I've had the huarache and the quesadilla con chorizo y papa and they were both really good, but I'm not sure if I want to give this place another try after the crispy chicken chips I was given!!! (Look at my photo)

They also have natural "aguas  frescas", and I was lovin' the mango until I actually paid attention to how they made it! No wonder my mango water was so good...they add two big scoops of sugar to really capture that "natural" flavor!!!  If I wanted that much sugar I would just go buy myself a great big bag of candy....or drink a milkshake instead!!! They probably have less sugar than the mango water!!!

Next time I will skip it and go to Sugar Shack!!! At least they are upfront about what they are serving!!!

So I was at the Starbucks next door doing some work while waiting for gf's car to be fixed. It was noon and we got hungry. Looking across I see a JJ's fish. Both of us haven't been there, but eh.. A quick search of yelp and I find this place in the real close vicinity. Now we're talking!

Walked in to a really small place with a lady that didn't understand English very well, but gave the "I don't know all of what you're saying so I'll just smile" look. No biggie... She was really friendly and I know how to point!

In my opinion, this place isn't more of a juice bar than a restaurant. We ordered a cuban burrito, steak torta, and two elotes for food. Really, that was way too much food... No complaints though as it's not quantity over quality, but quality combined with quantity. The portions were a good size. Nothing totally special about the torta, but it was really good. I really liked my burrito as it came with grilled pineapple inside. It was really good. We should have nixed the elotes, but we took those to go and that was just like the carts.

For drinks we got the bomba juice with oj and a guava agua fresca. Both were really good and just added to how disgustingly full we got as the glass the drinks were served in were quite big.

Next time we have to go get a car looked at around the area this will definitely be a stop for us!

I love this restaurant!  Great for quick take home sandwiches that are a far tastier alternative to Subway. My favorite is the Cuban sandwich and you must try the strawberries with cream or "fresas con crema".  They put tons of condensed milk, granola, and yogurt on them and the strawberries themselves are very fresh and juicy.
