Steve never got back to me, like he said he would in his response. Now that the wood has dried out a bit since it was delivered - about 3 months later - it can be burned with some coaxing. And it does seem to burn long, so it's mostly hardwood. Still, the response is pretty bad, and I essentially had to season the stuff myself.

Thank you for your review. I did reach out and will reach out again. We do not deliver in the rain. The same seasoned firewood you received as well as over 50 other satisfied customers burns excellent and weather permitting, will be delivered.
I was hesitant to order from this guy because of the bad reviews. But I thought: "all the bad reviews just say that he won't show up if you pay him in advance; I'll just pay him at the time of delivery and it will be fine." Wrong. The stuff he delivered (at night, when it was hard to see) is not actually firewood. It is trash wood that has been soaking in a field somewhere long enough to grow mold, and it's almost impossible to burn. I would simply not do business with this guy in any capacity. I reached out to him about a refund, and, though he said he would do that, he has not gotten back to me since.
Absolutely top-notch. Everything that touched the table was incredible, and that's quite a few dishes considering the ban chan. Barbecue was perfectly seasoned and cooked and super tender. Waitress was on top of things without being on top of us.
[English above/Spanish below] I love this place. There's a great range of piñatas and a ton of awesome stuff to fill them with. Magdalena is super nice and it's great to support a local woman-owned business. We will definitely come here for our future party supply needs.
Estoy feliz de haber encontrado este lugar. Es la cosa perfecta por una fiesta de niños. Tienen un montón de piñatas distintos y rellenos ricos (de hecho, terminamos comiendo uno de cada cosa mientras llenamos la piñata - no podÃamos resistir). También es un negocio local que pertenece a una mujer latina, y es buena poder apoyar.
[English above/Spanish below] This is a great spot for quality tacos, good coffee, and some great aguas frescas. The salsas are top-notch, the tortillas are made by hand, and the steak is actually tender in the tacos. Not to mention that this is a family business, and that they grow and roast their own coffee in Mexico. Really top-notch. Can't wait to go back.
Tacos buenazos, salsas ricas, y una buena taza de café. Me sorprendió lo rico que era todo. Volveré definitivamente y quiero probar todo el menú. Además, es un negocio familiar y ellos rostizan y crecen su propio café. Chévere. Lo recomiendo.
We had a really good experience buying from Toyota of Walnut Creek. We had a specific model in mind, and we had been shopping around trying to find one. They were hard to come by, but when we got ahold of Mani he told us he would keep an eye out. A couple days later he called us and told us that he would have one the following day. We swooped in and snatched it up. The paperwork was done fast, and Mani sent the appropriate registration papers to the DMV. We got a good price with no haggling and no posturing. It was about as good as a car purchase could be. Thanks, Mani!
