What Bishop Adrian Serrano doesn't like about Potato Shack Cafe:
Service was good but the food was honestly sickening. I’ve never experienced Huevos rancheros like this in my life… canned sauce? Old sauce perhaps? It tasted like old spaghettios. They did not make us pay which was nice but I wouldn’t recommend this food to anyone with taste. View all feedback. What User likes about Potato Shack Cafe:
I absolutely love this place! It’s a hidden gem. The small team running it can make it feel busy, but the food is really worth it. The portions are generous and very filling. I especially enjoyed the delicious salsa that came on the side. There's both indoor and outdoor seating available. Just a heads up, they only accept cash or Venmo. I would definitely like to visit again! View all feedback.
