Word on the street
What locals are saying
Chef Alex Yellan's walk-up lunch counter in Cannonborough runs on a deceptively narrow premise — one dish, three protein options, weekdays only — and has earned its following on execution alone. The pressed flour tortilla, sourced from the same Ladson Flea Market purveyor that supplied Minero, arrives crispy and layered with steak, avocado, fries, and pico; the bean version in particular draws near-religious loyalty from downtown regulars. Occasional charred chicken and some grumbling about the mandatory chip-and-Cholula bundle are the main friction points, but the California-trained instincts behind the press hold up.
