This is one of my favorite spots — the breakfast sandwiches are consistently delicious, and I’ll keep coming back. But I’ve got to call out something that really bugs me: the cost of adding avocado, and WAY too much seasoning on the home fries. I'll start with the home fries cuz that's pretty simple. I order the burrito bowl frequently and typically it is so overpowering and spicy that I can't finish it this morning. Wiped and scraped off all the salt and pepper seasoning on the home fries, going through four full paper towels and have at least a tablespoon worth of salt and pepper. Please cool it on the seasoning shaker. Per the avocado: I paid $4 extra to add avocado to my $7.50 sandwich — over 50% of the base price — and what I got was maybe a quarter of a single avocado. A whole avocado at the grocery store costs between $0.70 and $0.99, which means the actual avocado used on my sandwich cost the restaurant about 25 cents. So I paid $4 for something that costs under a quarter — that’s a 1,500% markup!!! I get that restaurants need to make a profit, but this feels less like a fair upcharge and more like price gouging. I’d happily pay $1 or $1.50 — even $2 if I get a satisfying mouthful of avo. But $4 for a quarter of an avocado? That just leaves a bad taste in my mouth (and not from the food). Please reconsider the pricing on this (same could be said for adding bacon or any other add on really). Loyal customers like me want to feel good about every part of the experience — not like we got avocado-robbed.
