Beef Empanadas are amazing! Like a sweet corn dog with delicious shredded beef. Also loved the chicken Arepas with avocado and mayo and cilantro. Authentic Venezuelan food! Also love that most all is gluten free!

Stopped in for a coffee. This is an awesome neighborhood joint. It has a little bit of everything. Groceries (i saw Mary's crackers, lots of gluten free stuff), beers on tap, coffee and homemade cheesecake. The to go salads looked amazing.

Lovely atmosphere, creative energy, and good strawberry matcha. Wallace, Adel, and all of the baristas are fantastic. They also carry vegan and gluten free pastries from my favorite local bakery!

TLDR: food is an A++ & service is an A++ Between the service & the food, idk what to start off with. The incredible food is what got me hooked in the first place. Whether you have dietary restrictions or not, there are several options on the menu for everybody. Genuinely! I have a gluten allergy & dairy intolerance so this is one of the first places I was recommended to visit around 5 years ago. I should’ve written a review sooner. I’ve ordered the same entree & more every time. I order the Mala Mala Chicken & sometimes my friends will order other things on the menu & we’ll have a little buffet amongst ourselves & everything really is so great tasting. Never once had a bad bite from this restaurant. But when I order only for myself, I can’t ever bring myself to switch up on the Mala Mala no matter how bad I want to; it’s a true #1. I work at a hotel downtown so I order my food to-go or for delivery very frequently & also always refer the hotel guests here as it’s soo good. The food kept me coming religiously, but the staff is what prompted me to finally write this review. It’s been a long few weeks, so getting off early on a weekday in March one time for the one time I decided to order my food to-go like normal but would go inside for a drink to treat myself while I waited since I got off early unexpectedly. I knew Old Thousand & was good vibes as I used to live up in North Austin & frequented that location before moving more south a few years ago. Shoutout to whomever has control of the aux. I planned on having one drink, but had two instead as the two bartenders Ani & Leon were the kindest & coolest people. <3 They even let me eat the food (some, I wasn’t going to finish it all) I had ordered online to-go at the bar (this is most definitely a thing to be appreciative of; service industry knows this!). They were so sweet, easy going, & just all around good people. When my food was ready, Leon even recognized me by my order (like I said I order the same entree each time & often lol I only ever change/add an extra side like the cucumber salad or buddha’s delight). I’d like to add, I really like the chili oil but sometimes I want it & sometimes I don’t: the Mala Mala Chicken really is just that good by itself– no sauce needed. Leon wondered if I might want some chili oil & I said I get it about 50% of the time but this last time I just reordered the entree quickly as I just wanted some banging well-deserved delicious food & wasn’t thinking about extras since I planned to just take my food home, eat, & go to sleep early for once. Leon then told me about the pineapple oil, which I had never even heard of (risks of being a creature of habit when it comes to food being too damn good), & it rocked my world! I’m obsessed & wish it was bottled to keep at my apartment lol. Ani took excellent care of me with my drinks, I didn’t sit with an empty glass & she didn’t force me into conversation like some do (one of the reasons I typically don’t sit at a bar alone but I didn’t want to take up a whole table since I originally only planned to come in for a quick drink to wait for my food). Tequila & especially mezcal called & so I answered! Thank you, Ani. Ani & Leon bounced off each other so well & I admired how nice it is to see people that can enjoy working with one another not just professionally but as people casually too. They let me know about brunch on the weekends, which I knew about, but they convinced me with their vibes & actions alone, not words & selling me on it, to make the time to come in & bring one of my besties this weekend! My friend I’m referring to is a vegan &I have a gluten allergy & dairy intolerance but to know we can have a great time too at brunch with great food & drinks & awesome service without compromising on any part of the dining experience is a 10/10. Then you add people like Ani & Leon on top of it… That’s a 100/10. They were the absolute icing & cherries on top.
