It's a bar, with a restaurant hidden in the back.The only thing stopping me from recommending this place is the atmosphere, but anyways I wasn't there for that, I was there for the I Like Food experience.Straight off the bat I thought I brought my girl to the wrong place. The outside looked sketchy af, theres no advertising that I saw for I Like Food. I really only went in cause I found parking (I'm glad I did). You'll walk into a bar, a VERY VERY old looking bar, but you can see it's potential, tons of space, clean, staff was friendly and took my order very quick.Okay back to I Like Food. Walk to the BACK of said bar (I don't know the bars name, let's just call it IYKYKB), there's a big menu the clearly shows all the items. Nothing on there particularly sticks out but we went with the Pernil Wrap, Churro Fries, and Pizza Rolls.This wasn't Bar food. It's restaurant food (in a bar). The wrap comes with spicy sauce on the side 👍🏽. It tasted amazing, crispy, filling, mouth watering. The Churro Fries were a hit by themselves but then you dip it in the chocolate sauce and 🤯🤯🤯 life changed. The pizza rolls were... Pizza rolls lmao I had to take a second look at the menu, it actually says Totinos pizza rolls 😂😂 glad we got them tho, it came with ranch dressing and we loved it although I hope they make their own when they open up there own business location one day. I see big things for I Like Food 🤞🏼 Fingers Crossed.The atmosphere. Now luckily there's plenty of space but at 7pm the bar started to get half full. The place is O. L. D. with Wooden torn up walls, seats looking half new with rips, tables way too small, and a bathroom only a mother could love. The Bathroom was clean but...... You couldn't tell from a photo. So I took a video, and you probably would still not want to go in but you know what, I'm sure the regulars would want you to stay away. If you can't handle the bathroom then you don't deserve to stay. So all in all get some food, go to the bar get a drink, they'll bring the food TO YOU, it was fast service, they came back and cleaned up the table. I wish I asked the servers name cause he was excellent as well. Shout out to the cooks! Please keep the crew together when you get your own location. We'll be back. - Edward Figueroa
