When you consider everything that this place offers, on top of delicious food, its truly a great spot for local and tourist alike. Maybe not every single item is amazing, but the overall experience wins 5 stars.
I dont think Ive ever been to a restaurant where they have a laundromat, car wash, giant playground, draft beer station, and restaurant all in one. That alone elicits some intrigue to check it out. While I wish the entrance to the restaurant was more obvious, I finally figured it out asking the laundromat clerk. You place your order at the counter, and the lady who took our order had the patience of a saint as my friends struggled to make their decisions.
I ordered the Texas Burger, as well as the kale apple salad and the super nachos. Along with some cashew cheeze sauce and chipotle mayo.
The super nachos were a work of art, both in presentation and flavor. Imagine a great plate of deluxe nachos, but with fresh ingredients! Every bite was both indulgent and refreshing at the same time. I dont think I can claim that about most nacho plates Ive ever had. This solidified that they have quality ingredients in my eyes. The cashew cheeze has the exact same consistency as liquid queso, but does not capture the quentisential element of dairy in the sauce. Thats not to say you should not order it, but rather realize its still a substitution and wont be as good as the real thing. For anyone who's vegan, this will hit the spot.
The kale and apple salad was good, but probably my least favorite item. With the raw spinach leaves, it feels like a bunch of separate ingredients that work out together rather than an intentional, harmonious blend. All the ingredients were fresh though.
The texas burger was great! The burger was juicy, beefy, and was well portioned. The bun and veggies all melded together was this cozy, yet delicious experience. The refried beans are what really push this into nacho tasting territory, but still feels like a burger first and foremost. While I admit I should have gone for a different flavor profile for variety, I was clearly in a nacho eating mood. My friends all got different burgers and no one had complaints. The chipotle mayo takes this burger to another level, and Im glad I got it!
Pulling up, it looks rough around the edges. But the raw, real vibes are what attract me the most. I can feel the owners blood sweat and tears poured into this property, sewing the seeds for something beautiful and different all at once. Theres plenty of locals bringing their kids to the playground that it feels like a great cornerstone of the community. I was skeptical coming here, but I think its now a new favorite place of mine in SA.
