Fabulous fresh everything

by michellecarter

I've been to The New Spot a few times, plus ordered takeout for meetings. Everything I've had has been fresh and tasty. Very yummy papusas.

The previous reviewer was reviewing the OLD PLACE that used to be at this location. The New Spot wasn't open then. Wish Citysearch would remove the review!

  • Pros: yummy papusas
  • Cons: con-less

Try the coffee with sweetened condensed milk for a special treat.
