We initially planned to go to a nearby restaurant. But their wait time was too long for a drop-in without reservations. Stopping by here was perfect because there was pretty much no wait at all! As you know, I do not have that virtue of being patient! I'm still working on it!
There was also plenty of street parking across the street! (Note: I didn't actually check the signs to see if I could park there but I think it is probably ok. But just letting ya know so you don't get mad at me if your car gets towed or ticketed. ^___^)
We walk into this little market which is reminiscent of a gas station market but without the gas. There are a lot of different snacks you can buy. Oh and guess what?! You can even buy a mop here if you wanted!
The prepared food section is in the back of the market where they have a pretty large selection. We decided on the Super Nachos and the Luna lunch. Nachos are one of my fav items to order. We pretty much order that anytime we see it. I wonder why I like to order nachos so much. I would have to say that perhaps it is because it is easy to share when you have at least two people. We decided on the Luna lunch because, hey, if it's named after their market, then it's got to be good right?
Our order arrived in two to-go boxes. We stepped out and, conveniently, they have some picnic tables outside where you can sit down, relax and prepare (Such as, rubbing your hands together with a grin on your face) to chomp down the food like your 80's video game friend that looks like a pie chart.
Initially, it seemed like a lot of food because the two boxes felt heavy as bricks. Of course, it tasted much better than an actual brick (But do let me know if you ever find an actual brick that tastes better than this and I will race over there to try that). The ingredients for both meals were pretty much the same.
The nachos contained jalapenos (Don't worry it's not so spicy that you'll become a dragon), guac, sour cream, salsa, chicken (Note: You get to choose the meat), bean sauce, and mozzarella cheese (At least that's what I think it was). I will also definitely have to note here that this will be a cheese lover's nachos.
The luna lunch contained similar ingredients. There was some veggies, guac, bean sauce, salsa, mexican rice, Al pastor (Again, you get to choose), and flour tortilla (Which we actually forgot to eat so can't tell you how that was). Surprisingly, we actually finished all the food (Again with the exception of the flour tortilla). Everything was tasty but messy (I guess after all these years, I still don't have good hand-eye coordination).
While we were eating, we noticed this nearby family had a much better idea than us! They bought a bag of chips and some fresh salsa to enjoy along with their lunch. Next time, our strategy will be to buy a bag of chips, salsa and one entrée to share. For example, we ended up dipping some of our chips nachos into the luna lunch anyway.
We will likely be back again at some point in the future. Don't know when, but until then, happy eating!
