Omg, I almost never take the time to review but have to say that my breakfast was one of the best I can remember. The Pobrecito breakfast platter: 2 fried eggs, rice, beans and fried plantains, was flavor in every bite. The chimichurri sauce (I'm calling it that, wasn't even mentioned on menu) it came with was subtle and delicious, not a bunch of random spices or even hot but somehow conveyed flavor in every bite. But on top of that the eggs, rice and beans were all perfectly cooked. It also came with on the side what looked like lovely homemade bread but I avoid gluten so didn't eat. My soy latte again among the best ever. Service also top, friendly attentive but not in face. And excellent value.

Was told about this spot by one of my coworkers and will most definitely be returning! The food was superb and the menu had amazing variety (friendly for vegetarians, vegans, gluten allergies, etc.). My only qualm is the lengthy wait time to order. Looking forward to trying out more of the menu here!
