“This place serves delicious food. My nephew turned us on to it. We ordered 4 different breakfast selections and all of it was so good. I had the fish and grits- DELICIOUS ?. I also have enjoyed their health drinks. Please try the Pineapple Ginger and the Sorrel. If you like ginger you will enjoy how they have incorporated the spice of ginger. So good for your health. The husband and wife are so kind and inviting. You won't be disappointed in the food or service.“

“My first time at this place found it on google . I order the turkey wings , yellow rice and candied yams. And I honest have to say the food was amazing very tasty . I RARELY write reviews for stores so that should tell you this place was good lol“

“A nice place to get combos. Probably the only place I would get it (for now).

Food- picadinho is my favorite!!! The other combos are okay. They can be dry and at times, undercooked. I am not a fan of the rice… unless it has caldo from the meat. Fries seem to be frozen prior to cooking.

Service- calling gives me anxiety. I understand they’re busy but that’s no excuse to be short with a customer or to rush them. Imagine if you’re ordering for the first time!

Parking- better than most places. Can get crowded though.

Atmosphere- it is spacious inside. Average decor. It’s nice to see the food being cooked nearby. The waitress was nice the one time I went to dine in with family. But they overcharged for orders that would’ve been cheaper had we taken the food to go. Food/spread was great though.

Pricing- decent for combos, although it did go up. Pastries are overpriced but that’s common. Tres leches is pretty good!“

“Great pastries. Wonderful staff .I tried the chicken foot and pig tail bean stew with white rice and it is delicious. Will definitely get me more in the future. The restaurant is now called Genesis with new owners but the food is still very good. Lots of “

“Love the guys here. They are always very nice to me. Their hospitality is always appreciated. The food is cooked on the spot so it's always hot and fresh. I got some good advice on joint health at my last visit and was able to try the Ginger juice. It was definitely potenent. I liked the one with the lemon so I got one before I left. I also got this roll on pain reliever for joints that I haven't tried yet but when I do I'll let you guys know how it went ?. Overall I would recommend this place for Great Breakfast. I had the French toast last time. Delicious ?

Parking: So Orange Avenue is always filled with cars. You're lucky to find a parking space right in front.“
