Reviews
My chilaquiles were tasty but SO spicy. Don't blame the restaurant- I am the gringa. My husband loves his birria Benedict. The service was very friendly and prompt. The space is rough (cement floors and space heaters) but clean. I will definitely return.
As a seafood lover and a fan of Queer Eye, I had to give this restaurant a try, even though I had ordered more than I could eat. It was my first time ever having a salmon burger, and it was fabulous! I also wanted to try the salmon ceviche since salmon has been my favorite fish since I was young. There are lots of specialty items unique to the restaurant, and I am loving that. The service is warm and welcoming since it's a family-run spot, and since they have a history of selling fish, you can totally trust them in handling the seafood and keeping it fresh. Both indoor and outdoor seating areas are available. It's a 10/10 for seafood lovers, and if you're not, they have other options as well!
Are you paying attention? Pay attention! If you're in South Philadelphia and you're looking for a delicious breakfast at a really good price, this place should be at the top of your list. I'm not kidding here. Go somewhere else and you'll just embarrass yourself. People will point at you and say the most nasty things about you! Go here and bring people with you. Bring lots of people with you!
Everything is good Great service and nice atmosphere Excellent choice for brunch and lunch
Went for brunch - great staff and great food! My sister in law is celiac and she ordered the eggs Benedict with home fries instead of biscuits. The staff informed us they do have gluten free biscuits and we were like wow nice! Turns out they went out of their way to GET GLUTEN FREE biscuits from the bakery ACROSS the street. Their attention to detail and the quality of their food is unmatched!! The tres leches French toast was my fav. So happy and so satisfied with my experience.
