“Trying Two Sister Foods' papaya sauce from Sacramento, CA! There are lots of vendors who sells papaya sauce here but Two Sister's papaya sauce still brings a unique flavor. I enjoy that their sauce is like a blend between Laos style and Thai Style. It's not a thick sauce. It's lighter but the quality of the sauce is not lost. Still delicious!”

“Food is really good and staff is very nice. Dont need much more, but they have more. Its a convenience store, so it has basically everything you would need. So you can literally pick up tortillas while you pick up your lunch. Exchange a lottery ticket while you wait for your food. Really nice experience and the guy is super nice. Happy to give them my business.”

It looks like an old school from the 1930's or 40's, and now is apparently the center of activity and community vibrance for the metropolis of Burrowsville. I can't wait to go back, and until then, I will wait with anxious expectation.”
