If you weigh less than 140 lbs., the plate will be enough food. Anything additional is you being ambitious.

THE BEST place to grab a quick, cheap lunch. If $2.50 isn't your spending limit, try the mango juice.

I usually LOVE everything. But today I went and the pita with my falafel smelled and tasted like it was on the back of a truck. Cigarettes and dirty hands. So gross. Plus they upped the price. Boo.
