Lenny's Deli and Barbacoa Mexican Grill

Lenny's Deli

Pastrami then burritos

Pickles were pretty decent. Sauerkraut was forgettable.

Potato salad was very mustardy.

Rye was okay, pastrami was meh-- lots of small bits fell out as we ate. Cheap cut?

Barbacoa Mexican Grill.

Note TVs everywhere. Given how so-so the food is, the TV's are clearly the main reason.

Shredded pork was okay, the pinto beans and rice weren't nearly hot enough... disappointing.

Trendy outside, so-so food inside.

Some hidelously boring fooding. Lenny's Deli is the old Junior's Deli, with a new owner and a fresh coat of paint, but with more or less the same mediocre food and absolutely terrible dessert. Add in uneven service, tending to lousy, and it's not a good experience.

Not pictures is the desserts, which tasted like they'd been left out all day (or two) in the display case-- dry and gross, not fresh at all.

Barbacoa Mexican Grill is an up-and-coming Chipotle competitor, with some hooks like happy hour (slightly cheaper burritos) and big TV's, plus some different seasonings on their proteins. Sadly the food is pretty so-so-- the meats are nothing special and neither the rice nor the beans were served hot enough. They didn't drain the beans well enough before serving, either, making quite a mess.

Not a bad place for affordable food and to watch the game, but aside from that, meh.
