    Lemony ricotta pancakes, can't get any better. Probably the best you'll have. Don't order the Pozole, it was bland.

    Go alone. The wait for one at the counter is mere minutes, as opposed to the hours for a table.

    The Plow's two tiny pancakes is so brilliant. I wish all restaurants had that. I wish I could order a side of tiny pancakes but $5 for a one pancake side is too much. :(
