A: Girlfriend and I came in for dinner- the pizza was just about immaculate. Perfect crunch, perfect sauce one pizza is about 10 inches across, which is nice for a personal pizza. A bit saucy but that was perfect for my tastes. Caprese salad was awesome as well. Overall great restaurant!

Q: positive

A: I got an AMAZING move-in special, and a very competitive rent considering the location and amenities. One of the things that sold me on this place was actually the very sincere and accomodating customer service I got out of the people running the show. I also love that there is washer/dryer in the unit. To me the convenience factor is worth at least an extra $50 a month. I am within biking distance of Target, Wal-Mart, Chase, Chipotle, TJ Maxx, Whole Foods, and Paradise Valley Mall ... and that is just what I've discovered so far having been here a week. Everything is in one place, and there are probably half a dozen bus routes close by too. I specifically like Route 39; it travels on the 51 between the mall and the Central Avenue downtown area.

Q: negative

A: Ambitious with poor execution. The menu there is limited but I didn't mind that. My hopes were that since they only did a couple of dishes, they would do them well. If only. And maybe they could be better if they weren't using the exact same products as their parent restaurant Eat n Park. I ordered the specialty pizza of the day (butternut squash) and was completely underwhelmed. The dough was the same that EnP uses for their rolls, the sauce was the same that is used for EnP's spaghetti sauce and the cheese was as bland as you could get. Had there been a little bit more thought into the ingredients like higher quality cheese (feta, maybe) and sauce that didn't come from a can it could've worked. Unfortunately, they thought they could give you great ambiance and new presentation and you wouldn't notice that you just had diner food. The most offensive part was the $10 that I paid for a pizza that was less impressive (and substantially smaller) than a $5 take out pizza that I could've gotten around the corner.

Q: negative

A:
I may give this shop another try given the positive reviews. However, my experience wasn't great. I took my mountain bike in for a tune up. I was told when I could pick it up but when I got there it still wasn't ready. The mechanic said there was a squeak coming from the bottom bracket which was "really annoying". It was annoying and what was also annoying is that my bottom bracket was silent before I brought my bike in to Espada to be be worked on. They were unable to fix this problem and I ended up having to take my bike to another shop to have the bottom bracket replaced. Annoying indeed.
