El Chingón Comida Mexicana — Restaurant in Boadilla del Monte

One of the worst meals I've had in years in terms of quality, quantity for price and presentation. I've worked in Mexican restaurants in California (both family-owned and mid-range chain), and I have been a customer of great Mexican restaurants in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado, and in Mexico and other countries as well as in Madrid, Spain for at least 4 decades. We ordered Sopa Azteca (chicken tortilla soup x2), Mole Poblano, Cochinita Pibil and Arroz Mexicano to go (take away). I arrived early and live close by, so food should have been at its best. First, they piled all of the condiments that were supposed to be served on the side , the bits of corn tortillas, guacamole and sour cream, into a single container with the soup so that it became a huge mush - we threw away about half. Second, the Mole was only adequate in flavour and the Cochinita was neon red and sweet (supposed to be at least moderately spicy with a little sweet), and the portion sizes, though half rations, were twice as expensive as they should have been. Third, the Arroz was inedible. It was undercooked and loaded with onions and frozen peas. I've never eaten Mexican rice that was this bad. Also the servings were barely larger than the half rations and were wildly expensive for what was given. Almost all of it went into the trash. Fourth, they wrapped cold and broken corn tortillas in foil and passed them off as tortillas ready to be eaten with the meal. After heating the tortillas at home, they crumbled into unusable bits. The entire meal cost about 42€, about 30€ too much. I will never go back. It pains me to think that the only restaurant in town that serves my favourite kind of food is so worthless. They won't be around for long, though. I predict they fold by...

Extremely overpriced and disappointing. We had a vegetarian quesadilla and it was tasteless. We could have done the same with industrial products from the supermarket. Then we had the 43€ tortillas deal for two people, but it was very small in size. The tortillas were again very average, like the ones you buy at the supermarket. Only the chicken was tasting something interesting, the rest was anecdotical. And finally they give like a tablespoon of guacamole for 2 people, it should have been an entire bowl.

Bottom line: average food, small portions, very pricey, nothing like the real Mexican food

Edit to answer the reply: Sorry but you're mistaking me with someone else, we did not take any takeaway. Regarding the judgement on my budget, I didn't pay for it as I'm on a business trip.

I'm sorry you found my review disrespectful, but reviews are meant to share how we felt with the food. We went to a lot of restaurants this week and it was the only time we felt that much disappointed.

I wanted to answer because the points you raised in your reply are incorrect and very defensive. You're free to retrospect on our review internally...

Fuimos a comer un domingo, cuando se supone que la gente sale a comer y debería haber suficiente género, y nos encontramos con que la mitad de los platos de la carta no los tienen, y similar pasó con las bebidas. No había grifo de cerveza, en un restaurante!!! es algo inadmisible. Puede faltarte algún ingrediente, pero no la mitad de ellos. La camarera intentaba excusarlo con que era domingo y habían tenido días muy ajetreados... ¿y cuando el género se va gastando no van a comprar para tener suficiente para los comensales? Como he leído en otros comentarios, las raciones tirando a cortas, nos quedamos con hambre. La carta no dice las cantidades que vienen, como un responsable ha dicho en respuesta a otro comentario, que por otro lado, en vez de aceptar las críticas e intentar mejorar, las responde a la defensiva poniendo la responsabilidad sobre los clientes... La camarera se liaba con las peticiones. Se le olvidó traernos un plato. No se aclaraba con que los platos... Como positivo, algunos platos estaban buenos. Otros, como la ensalada de nopales, los nopales estaban blandurrios, como pasados, y la vinagreta que llevaba, aunque rica, muy artificial, no creo que fuese hecha artesanal, tenía la textura y el sabor de ser preparada de bote. Además, en pleno calor en la terraza minúscula el aire brilla por su ausencia... un ventilador del que iban modificado la dirección en función de las mesas que iban entrando, con lo cual te quedabas sin aire porque no podía abarcarlo todo. Hay otros mexicanos en Boadilla que hemos probado de mejor calidad y sin los problemas mencionados. Tenemos claro que a este no volveremos.

Actualización: confirmo, como se ha dicho en otros comentarios en Google, que borran las reseñas negativas de El Tenedor, con la mía también lo han hecho. Me habían cancelado la reserva para no poder poner la reseña, el Tenedor me la activo y les comuniqué el problema que había leído, con lo que me pidieron que por favor si me lo hacían lo comunicase para que pudieran tomar medidas, y así he hecho. Espero que se tome alguna determinación, pues es un engaño la puntuación que tienen, ya que borran los...
