I cleaned up the remaining non-visits on Kirkman on Sunday. The first is in a strip mall with Junior Burger and the other are in that Publix strip mall off Conroy.
Arepas El Cacao - This is a brick and mortar (one of three) outpost of the food truck on I Drive. I had a #2 for $8. It contained pork, chicken, shrimp, chicken salad, white cheese, potatoes and carrots, corn and lima beans. It was good. Real shrimp. Moist pork and chicken. It's kind of a counter service place with seating outside. It's been there for two years. They also have empanadas, tequenos, sopas, ceviche, cachapas, etc.
Antonio's House of Pizza - If the house is one of pizza then the house must be an outhouse. Terrible pizza. I had a two slice combo for $6. The crust was disintigrating. Stale and drier than a cork. It was spewing dust in the box. Either they don't know how to bake a pizza or they don't care if they serve week old pizza. Either reason is reason enough to avoid this place. How they survived 5 years in this location is a mystery. The people in this area must have few options or taste buds. The cheese was cheap. The pie so over sauced that it made a mush of the bottom. Or maybe it just sat in its own filth for too long. The sauce was also garlicky. There was a huge air bubble in the middle of one slice. The place isn't much inside either. Just cheesy autograph photos of celebrities never met. I have some bad news for you. I worked for a talent agent and we (and any fan club) just had interns forge the clients names when fans wrote in for autographs. Avoid. The rest of the menu is just goomba Italian staples.
Indian Hut - These guys just opened up next door to Antonio's. I think it was an Asian place. Now it's Indian. They boast (on the menu) that they were/are the shit in southeastern PA. Maybe they are. Every motel in PA is owned by an Indian stinking up the place from behind the check in counter, so, there most be some good Indian choices up there. I just had samosas because I already had four meals and this place wasn't on the itinerary. They were very good. Non-greasy. Potato and peas. They have a full menu that is dosa heavy and has alot of Chino-Indian dishes. The dosas were huge and looked great. The place - not so much. It's a little spartan and mish mosh. They didn't obliterate the design of the last place and those guys left what the place before that had. I think it was Italian. They put some large Indian themed art on the wall. The space is very roomy. They only put seats for about thirty in a large room. It was about half full. The owners wife was using a corner as her office. I hate that. So tacky. Is a daycare corner next? You are trying to transport people. Don't ruin what little ambiance you can affect. I'm not sure I would highlight the pastry either. They don't look home made or fresh or appetizing. They look like bad supermarket pastry. They don't speak well of Indian skill at pastry making. However, prices are good and the things I encountered looked freshly made and came in large portions. Not white table cloth Indian, but, maybe good dive Indian.
