A: Back when this place was Philthy Phil's, I only wandered in there when I had to, because it was indeed "philthy"-- with that said, with new owners, new bar, new staff, new patio, new TVs, this place is fantastic. Now I go here for drinks and food purely because it's enjoyable, not just because it is walking distance from my house (that's just a bonus now). The new owners have personally come out and introduced themselves to my friends and I, totally friendly, seemingly great people. THEY ARE DOING IT RIGHT, support this establishment!

A: I booked my birthday party here, mostly because of it's close proximity to The Duce. I was in contact with someone who said she was the Manager, Daron Harvey. She was great and said she would extend happy hour for my party. However, upon arrival, the night of my party, the manager on duty had no idea my party was coming. When I told him that I had spoken to a manager about having my party there and he snidely remarked, "that's weird, I'm the manager." Wow, way to be nice about the amount of business I am about to bring your bar. To top it off, we got there at 9pm, which is what I told the Manager I was e-mailing, just to find out they normally close at 10pm on non-Suns game nights, unless they have 20+ people. So, now I feel awkward 'cause we're keeping these servers past the time that they probably thought they were going home. The only reason I am not giving them one star is that they were still able to accommodate my party and give us the specials. Except after 1.5 hours of being there, the server asks me if we're all on separate checks. I don't understand how you just assume these things and we had to wait a bit longer to get our tabs. Lastly, I get the rule to add gratuity for such a big party, but the gratuity added was 22%. Random. Such a terrible experience.

A:
I didn't know what to expect from this little place, and made the mistake of ordering a dish -- chilaquiles -- that I thought I knew. Paz made it differently than I was used to, and I was disappointed. On the positive side, when I told our server that I didn't think the food had any taste, one of the chefs came out to talk to us. Michael was very sweet and we discussed just how variable "Mexican" food can be, in that every region makes their stuff differently. We got to talking and he told us about his favorite item, the pork belly. It sounded so good: slow roasted for 15 hours using Filipino style seasoning. He brought us a generous sample out to try, and it was WONDERFUL! I will definitely go back for the pork. Other positives: the menu is limited because they want everything to be as fresh as possible. You could definitely tats that in the salsa, which was fresh and bursting with green chili goodness. My beloved got a breakfast burrito that was tasty. I'll be back, and you should try it out.
