Brilliantly observed! The framing of bad vibes as predictor of good food is lowkey genius. I've found myself in similarsituations (there was this taco stand next to a literal dumpster in LA) and the worse the location, the more authentic it usualy turns out. But dunno if it's causation or just survivorship bias since only the truly great food can overcome horrifying first impresions.
this evokes entering a horror themed roller coaster, where you wind through the waiting area past various ghouls and ghosts, posted to conjure up a mood that readies you emotionally for the spooktacular ride itself
