I would not have found the place if I didn't read the reviews.  Its an outdoor seating area that is next to the entrance to Monti's across from the park.  Even as we approached I wasn't sure, then realized their shirts say Tempe's Front Porch.\n\nSo I think they're trying to be a hip young place.  Its a great spot for people watching for sure.  The food's not terrible, but also nothing to write home about.\n\nWe got the fries - sweet and regular which was nice.  It came with 3 sauces that were all every sweet...  Not a huge fan of them.  I ended up using the sauce from the chorizo stuffed dates (bbq).  The fries were crisp though and not too greasy or salty.\n\nThe short rib tacos were ok, the meat was slightly on the dry side.  Can use a little more than shredded lettuce on top.\n\nThe chicken lollipops were just pieces of grilled chicken with Red Hot on it.  Not impressed at all.\n\nThe yukon potato dish was terrible.  Its a slice of deep fried potato (think extra thick kettle chip) with shredded meat/chorizo(?) on top with some sour cream and a slice of raw jalapeno on top of it all.  Raw.  Poor plan, poor execution - zero points for this dish.\n\nThe chorizo stuffed dates wrapped in bacon was actually pretty good, also hard to mess up.  Had bbq sauce on it.  \n\nEverything came with a splash of red pepper flakes and parsley on top.  \n\nIts a neat little spot to hang out in, but I have to agree with the others that the service is on the slow side.  We almost had a 1:1 server to customer ratio and it was still slow so I can only imagine.  The service was friendly and willing - just very slow.  The food is NOT very impressive.  I think an above average home cook would easily come up with better dishes than these.  Happy hour deals aren't great either because the portion size is very small.  If anything it's priced right.  I don't think I'll be returning anytime soon.
