Open Test Kitchen (OTK) offers a recently renovated space with beautiful colors and smiley faces, creating a welcoming atmosphere. Guests can enjoy deliciousness being served while working or bring friends for embodied nourishment. The eatery features chefs cooking from the heart, evident in every smell and bite.
One reviewer highlights Asúkar's crispy samosas with juicy beef or savory lentils, served with a fantastically spicy dill sauce, salad, and bright vinaigrette dressing. The Maramieh latte, a surprising blend of sage and coffee, is also recommended.
Another visit showcased the Tacos de Leon plate with salsa verde, featuring nice and savory mushrooms. A barbacoa taco a la carte with juicy pulled pork was also enjoyed. The pineapple housemade soda, described as fruity and tasting of real pineapples, was a favorite. While the food is presented beautifully and the opportunity to support WOC owned businesses is appreciated, the pricing is noted as expensive. Some wish for the ability to order ahead and for all pop-ups to be available during all open hours.
