The girl at the counter is super welcoming, the space is modest, and the decor is hip. It's also spotless. The menu isn't overly complicated. The ingredients are fresh, BUT most importantly, the food is delicious! It's one of the top two Mexican food experiences I've had, proving you don't have to be over the top to be great. I would drive the three hours to eat it again. My taste buds and stomach are sad that Picnic isn't in our city. BONUS: It's all celiac-friendly food.
Two other options to eat were closed in Thomas, one permanently, so we opted for Mountain State Brewing and weren’t disappointed. We split the Big Casino pizza (gluten free crust) with bacon, spinach, tomato and mozzarella and really enjoyed it. They messed up our order and gave us a regular pizza with the same toppings and it was equally tasty. I also ordered the Lost Cow steak sandwich which was flavorful but could have used a little more meat to fill the very large subway bun. Washed it all down with a nice IPA!
