Atmosphere and food are great together at this location. Inside seating available. So far, I've only had the fish sandwich (delish). Lots of fresh items on the menu, made to order, not a long wait.
This place isn't really a "hidden" gem anymore since it's known and renovated, but it's definitely a gem. I got the Al Pastor style pulled pork sandwich and it was absolutely dope, one of the best pulled porks I've had in the area if not the best. The tres leches cake was also delicious, and came in a plastic box - so you know it's good.
Wow! Excellent steak and cheese sandwich and my lunch buddies were pleased with their fare as well. Accompanying french fries are better than most places. These leaned toward being a little crispy on the outside with that hot and soft center that makes fries a pleasure -- clearly fresh from the fryer.
Panino is a Coke establishment. The fountain Diet-Coke, however, was bad. Flat and weak. As is my usual practice, I approached the friendly proprietor, told him the sandwich was terrific but that he would want to make some adjustment to the fountain Diet-Coke. He took a serious interest in my comment, and I had no doubt that he was going to attend to it that afternoon. He understood that a great sandwich and fries needs a fountain drink with the right balance of carbonation and syrup.
