A: I was at a store near by and decided to look around this cute little shop. I was pretty excited considering my brother's birthday is days away and it looks like a really fun shop. I am in a scooter so it took me a bit to get into the store but that was ok, I don't mind doing things myself but upon entering I was never greeted. I brushed this off because she was helping someone else. I waited ten minutes and the woman working the counter never acknowledged I was even there. I felt she could have said welcome feel free to look around and I will be with you in a moment. Maybe it was just me but I felt she was very rude and I will never be returning to this establishment. I may be disabled but I am not stupid! I know how customer service works and when you suck at it it is not worth my time to return to your place of business. I am very disappointed that such a cute shop has such a crappy person working there.

A: What can I say about Mi Cocina Mi Pais. Lets just say looks can be deceiving. For one thing they built a taco bell right in front of this place. I find myself sitting in the restaurant looking at taco bell and wondering why someone would eat there when they could get a nice home cooked meal 20 feet away! Looking at the first photo on yelp of the location you can tell that this is a typical mom and pop strip mall restaurant. Literally though it is a mom and pop place. The son was the waiter the mom was the cook and the dad helps out when he can come in from his other job. The service is kind of slow because of this but look past it your about to get a fresh home cooked meal! The inside has wooden tables and chairs and kind of reminds me of a deli. The food. Well to start out we got two drinks I got one which can only be compared to horchata and she got the Inca soda which tasted like bubble gum so cool! They bring you the best tasting salsa and chips I have ever had a at a South American Restaurant. Our appetizer was a South American Potato Salad. The presentations was awesome on the salad it had three olives some egg and a sauce that had me scraping it off of the dish after we had ate all the potatoes. It was slightly spicy but very light surprisingly and very comforting. For dinner we had the combo plate. It had rice, eggs, beans,steak, avocado ,sausage, pork rind, fried plantains, potato cake,flour cake, and a tomato pepper mixture sauce. OMG the combination was perfect for two of us to share. The beans reminded me of back home when my buddy's dad used to make them on their farm. I could be in heaven eating just the beans and rice. The steak was very tender and flavorful. My palate was left very satisfied. For Authentic South American Food go here. If you want to try something new go here. If you want good ol comfort food go here.

A: Tried Rollin Smoke tonight on friend's recommendation. It was okay. The sauce was good (on the thin side as you'd expect for this style) with just a hint of sweet. I had the duo plate with brisket, hot link and jalapeno coleslaw. The brisket was good, flavor and smoke wise. The hot link was the worst I've ever had, it had so much connective tissue that I couldn't chew it and ended up looking like the clown with the never ending scarf being pulled out of my mouth (eeewwww, and not attractive, right???), The coleslaw was fairly flavorless; as I would eat it the heat would gradually build but nothing other than that. Husband had the pit special; brisket, pulled pork, spare ribs, hot link, hush puppies, mac & cheese, and collard greens. He agreed with my assessment on the brisket and the hot link. He liked the hush puppies but felt the mac & cheese and the collard greens were WAY over cooked and lacking flavor. Sister had the pulled piggy with hush puppies. She said the pork was moist, tender, and had a good flavor. She liked the hush puppies but they were a touch spicy for her. It was worth a try but I can't say that we'll be back.

A:
Cute place and I love the old fashioned malt shop ambience, but I will most likely not return. Everytime we've gone our orders are messed up in one way or another. I made the mistake this time of sitting at the counter in front of the food pick up window. They mixed our orders together so that neither of us got what we asked for. The cook had a question, but couldn't get the waitresses attention so he cooked what he thought was written which was wrong. Disappointed, but not a deal breaker. As I'm eating I'm watching the waitresses and hostess make toast. Their long, nasty fingernails all over the toast, no gloves and one had a band-aid on the tip of one of her fingers. Then the cook in the back comments "these plates are filthy." The clincher, a black hair in my husband's eggs. Note to the staff: If you're handling dirty plates and order slips please put some gloves on before you start handling people's orders. I'm so disgusted by this place. Wait, one more thing...one woman scratched her head and then proceded to butter toast. Also, to the cooks in the back...cover your long, nasty moustaches. Enough said!
