The location itself seems to be bad luck. All the businesses at the end of this block go out of business: the barber shop moved to Cebra & Victory to avoid this fate. The church people who run The Mustard Seed on Forest Ave had the La Plaza space pre-pandemic; they folded for obvious reasons.

Staff is friendly and accommodating (we left with new hot sauces and tamarind treats that we’d never tried before), restaurant is clean and STOCKED. I’d recommend making this your...
