A: Maybe it was the build up, the long drive, whatever - but I expected more. Bakery is either sweets or meat during the week - not including a tasty scallion bun I scarfed in record time - but the couple of cool-sounding vegetarian stuffs were unavailable. K. Buffet-wise, there was a really, really unappetizing looking egg dish - scrambled with tomato. Rest was beef/chicken/seafood. K. There was an entire half-fridge section of interesting things done with soy - crepe, marinated, fried, baked, gluten products as well. A tad more comprehensive than other, closer stores. Pretty rad sake selection. Still. If the bakery/restaurant was more veg friendly, it'd be worth it, the 20 minute drive. As it stands, not so much. A clean floor does not a worthy adventure make.

A: I finally got to try CPC before an ASU football game last weekend. When we walked in there were a few other confused looking people crowded in the doorway. We were there about 15 minutes to 6 and apparently there isn't a hostess until 6. So along with the other people we fended for ourselves and my hubby and I found a table for 2. Usually dark and small places make me claustrophobic but I actually liked the atmosphere. It was like a comfy cave. And I loved the fact that I smelled curry in a pub. It took about 10 minutes to get any service. Which slightly annoyed me because if we would have gotten served earlier we would have gotten happy hour prices on our beers. But luckily the server was great. Really sweet, funny, and informative. The pasties do take awhile to be made, but that's okay because we had 32 oz beers to enjoy! They have a good, but not huge beer selection. My husband ordered the oggie which he really enjoyed. He loved the sauce it came with. I ordered the pesto veggie pasty. It was very tasty. The pasty itself it so buttery and flaky. And the filling had Quorn brand veggie chicken which is my favorite brand of vegetarian chicken. So yummy. Next time I definitely want to order a spicier one. Italian style was good but I can imagine a Mexican or Indian one being even better! Overall, worth the 20 minute trek to Tempe!

A: Drove by and saw this open in my area and I squealed with delight!! I dislike shopping malls but I'm a big fan of Corn Dogs! Sampled their chicken strips! Very light breading flavorful! Need a refreshing beverage? Let the multi colored weird cap wearing employees quench your thirst with Icy cold fresh lemonade! You KNOW you want one! The only reason I cannot give this location 5 stars, as I left my cup was full of ice , I asked as it was so hot out for water to top it off. The employee sneered at me as if it was a major inconvenience and like I had asked for something shockingly out of all reason!

Posted to La Comida's Facebook Page by me after a terrible bout of food poisoning. Will update if I receive a response. Hi, let me preface this by saying there are a lot of things I truly enjoy about your restaurant. The margaritas are divine, the chips and salsa are incredible and the service exquisite. I had eaten here once already and couldn't wait to come back. A friend of mine had informed me of a certain hairy situation that occurred while she was eating here. Despite this, I wanted more of your delicious tacos. I came in Saturday night and had the carnitas tacos with rice and beans on the side. Everything tasted great and there was no incident, until a few hours later when I got home. That's when the fever, chills and vomiting began. The next 24 hours was basically the worst ever. I deducted I became ill as a result of your food, simply by the fact that I ate no where else in the hours leading up to or following my visit. I am not writing on your wall to receive anything for free or to cause a stir, there just isn't any other form of contact I can find. I only ask that you and your team review your cleanliness, preparation and food safety procedures so this does not happen to other diners. I will most likely return for drinks, but definitely won't be eating here again.
