xoco

Pronounced JOco...I think. It's a Mexican sandwich place. The seating/serving is confusing - they sort of help you along with this with some things but not others. They get you a seat and bring you your food, but not your drinks?? There are a lot of sandwiches to choose from, but they are not all created equal. For instance, the short ribs in my Pepita were bland, but somehow overpowered the pickled jalapeƱos, which, on their own, were good. Charlie's sandwich was good, but the old switcheroo doesn't work well when one one person (me) orders badly. Churros are good, corn-y, but good. Some people seemed to get chocolate sauce with theirs. We did not. We got the Mexico City style hot chocolate, which when eaten with the churro was good. When you drink the hot chocolate on it's own, it's begging for a finger-dipped-in-sugar chaser. I would try this again but not without studying the extensive menu first.

highS :: pork? - pork sandwiches seem the way to go
:: pickled onions and peppers - mmm

:: churros - once I accepted the corn taste, they were great

lowS :: service - weird. We were seated in this crossroads of servers and cooks going in and out of doors with big dirty pans. This crossroads smelled like bleach and garbage - yuck.
:: short ribs
