    Popped in for a mid morning snack... oh boy. I just found my new BF. Grabbed their avocado pork burrito smothered in their house green chilli. Outstanding. It was a little quiet but I'm told it can be fairly boisterous for lunch. Service like a quick snap and tasted sooo good! Cheers to Scott K and all at Salsa Latina!!!
