Deli style local spot with limited seating inside and a decent sized, enclosed, covered patio. The decor was busy and a little disheveled, but clean. I think they have a lot going on there as I believe they do a lot of catering business as well. Crispy yet tender pork cutlets, fresh diced veggies and flovorful seasonings did not disappoint with the pastor torta/porchetta. Fries were on par with McDonalds fries, but fresh, meaning they're exceptional. I went with the plain salted fries but will try the seasoned ones next time. This was an amazing sandwich at a great price. I did the meal with fries and a bottle of Mexican Coke. Although I scanned the table tent for the menu and it tells you to order, and pay through your phone (no app needed), I just gave my order to AJ (owner) and paid cash. It was slow so Im not sure if that's always an option but AJ was a gracious and kind host so I'm sure if you ask nicely, it's nbd.
The Best!! Chef Michael is obviously a classically trained master of the kitchen. He is a polite soft spoken chap who runs a tight ship. Things are done simple and correctly. Execution is impeccable and the kitchen sanitary, always. FYI - SPICES CLOSES AROUND THE HOLIDAYS The Chef operates a catering business and the holidays see him devoting the small restaurant space to that business. More power to him!! Despite brief disappointment when breakfast plans have to be changed, his hustle cannot be denied. The SPICES menu is a basic breakfast & lunch fare done correctly. Every. time. HIGHLY recommend the breakfast Croissant sandwich add AVO or a protein. Trust. I worked a block from SPICES for years. Got to know the Chef... This review is long overdue as his little eatery is a Diamond in the rough that is Colfax.
This place is like your favorite band, it's so awesome that you hope it's wildly successful, but you also kinda hope that no one finds out about them.
Good food , quality and quantity. Chill atmosphere, not your Colfax eatery. I like it and you will also.
The biscuits and gravy was great. The Philly Cheesesteak sandwich was good, but nothing special.
