On my recent stopover in Albuquerque (I think that's right) I went through downtown to look for some lunch. I saw some decently hip people sitting outside this place, so I thought this place couldn't be too bad. Twenty minutes later (parking is a bear) I finally walk through the doors, hungry as can be. The employees were covered with tattoos and dyed hair, but it seemed the norm for downtown ABQ. I ordered the roast beef with the pasta salad, and it was amazing. The combination of the roast beef, fresh mozzarella, and basil was amazing! I'm pretty sure they gave me the sesame ginger sauce instead of vinaigrette, but it actually worked out surprisingly well. The pasta salad was superb too, not too overpowering but very flavorful. One of the cons I have about this place is that there wasn't enough seating on the patio, so I had to enjoy the beautiful day from inside. Although the ingredients seemed high quality, I thought it was a bit pricy (almost ten bucks with a drink).
