Fortuna Cafe 2.0

The quality of the Sichuan food here at this price point ($10 to $15 per dish and $2 to $3 for an iced tea) is incredible. Someone I was with said that the boiled beef here was the best version of it that they've ever had.

Came in with my buds ravenously hungry and this was a new spot we wanted to check out. The cheap prices attracted me in, but the service and food definitely captured my heart. This place is definitely a hidden gem that I'll return to for sure. It was a little late when I came in but the owner was very warm and welcoming. She intercted with me and my friends in a great manner, and the food was quick! She even hooked us up with free soup as an appetizer. We got the family meal combo and they were flexible enough for us to swap out the veggies for more protein, duck specifically (which was amazing). I throughly enjoyed everything they brought out but the duck and the hot braised chicken wings were my favorite. I'd recommend coming here for a good cheap quick eat!

Small family run business. Cozy, food is delicious - staff is super attentive. Coming back with the family! P.S. spice levels are real!

Got takeout for lunch from here. Unfortunately their website doesnt have a way of ordering and making a payment online so placed order over phone and had to pay in person. The order included lunch special cumin lamb, lunch special fish in chili oil, and deep cooked pork intestine. The portion size and quality of ingredients was good. The takeout lunch specials didnt come with soup/tea so Im guessing those are only available for in-person dining. * deep cooked pork intestine ($12.95 pre-tax) - This was different than what we've eaten typically from other sichuanese restaurants and the pork intestine pieces weren't deep fried and then mixed with veggies. But overall the dish was decent and came with onions/bell peppers/celery in a black bean sauce. 4/5 * lunch special cumin lamb ($7.95 pre-tax) - Cumin lamb dish was great; lots of cumin and numbing oil flavor with onions/jalapenos/bell pepper. The lamb was tender. 5/5 however the accompanying rice was dry. * lunch special fish in chili oil ($7.95 pre-tax)- This was very weird tasting because both the fish fillets and the broth were quite sweet. I have never tasted this flavor profile of ginger+chill oil+sugar before so it wasnt something which I really enjoyed. The accompanying rice was dry/bad. 2/5 I will be back to try more of their dishes.

Please give this amazing place a try. You will not be disappointed i promise. I was very skeptical about taking my family here because of the location, but boy was i wrong. They have the best Chinese food I’ve ever had. I recommend the Almond Chicken and beef Chowmain. 🥳
