  Delicious food, sunny window, no rush, friendly staff. It felt homey in there and it’s clearly a beloved neighborhood spot. They would say hello to passersby and chat up neighbors.

  So glad I found this place! The Mangu Tres Golpes was amazing! 10/10. The hospitality was definitely everything.

  We really enjoyed our meal at The Spot and the service was fantastic! Friendly staff, fresh ingredients and made to order home cooked food. The outdoor seating puts you right in the center of the neighborhood comings and goings and right across from a housing complex. It gets loud and busy. But more than a few people glanced at our meals as they walked by and expressed how good it looked. Definitely recommend!
