    I’m Mexican and this looks amazing. I can say I’m blessed to live in Detroit. Detroit is so multicultural that I can drive and get Mexican, African, European, Latin American and Asian food in a 10-20 mile radius. Great food also!! I also love how people can come together over food and have some respect for other cultures.

    Daaaang bro! It seems like y'all got a LOT goin on in the food scene between Jersey and Philly. Y'all makin the DC/Virginia area look like some punks! (That's right people, I said it!) Hey yo, mad love to you bro and helping to showcase small businesses. I love that about you and I also really appreciate that you do squeeze in a few episodes showcasing the vegetarian spots. I'm vegan personally, and haven't really traveled much since the pandemic, but like to know of spots that I could hit up if I do travel North. Either way, I sincerely appreciate you including those vegetarian spots because other vloggers who are meat-oriented wouldn't even bother. My thing is .. you don't have to be vegetarian to go to places and get some healthier options. We vegetarians get thrown so much shade it's just unbelievable. But whatever. Thank you for all you do! Peace 💙🙏💙

I just wish we had more, and I have moved from DC to Central Virginia, so, there's even less now. Don't get me wrong, I can cook, so, my needs get met. But it sure would be nice to be able to go out here and support a business doing vegan food and not have to cook every once in awhile. 🎯 Every time JL drops a video, it just makes me mad for our area 😡😂

    Well I tried this spot out today based on your review. I got there around 14:15 hours. I ordered two shrimp & salmon quesadillas and a shrimp and steak bowl. I wanted the fish sandwich as well but that’s no longer on the menu. Bill came to $70!! I was told 25 minutes but my food took 45 minutes. First thing is, food portions don’t match the price. I was disappointed at the tray size. The quesadilla was good but there was nothing about it that could justify the $20 price tag. The special sauce cooked inside the quesadilla is actually barbecue sauce which didn’t taste bad but was disappointing strictly because of the price. It includes a small cup of sour cream and salsa inside the tray with shredded lettuce as a garnish. It wasn’t enough sour cream for me nor was the cup big enough to dip. This is important only because of the price. The bowl was for my wife. Very small portion size for a $30 bowl. She said the salad was delicious but the rice was too salty and the steak was tough. She also says that it seems like they tried to neutralize some of the saltiness of the rice with the barbecue sauce. I hope this helps those people traveling from far to try these businesses out(90 minutes for me). I feel like I was robbed. My expectations were set high because of the price. Save yourself some money and time… go grab a Bowl from Chipotle… it’ll cost less and taste better. I didn’t check the menu, I just ordered something similar to what JL ordered.
