Mitchell's Mexican Grill — Restaurant in Delphi

We were h-u-n-g-r-y!

I like supporting local establishments, so we made a decision to drive a little bit off our route to eat here. The staff was patient and smiling. There is no indoor seating; however, the outdoor seating area was welcoming. The prices were reasonable.

We both ordered 9-layer beef burritos. Here's where things went wrong. . . The flour tortilla was raw from the package. I know they are technically not raw, but they should we warmed on the griddle before adding the ingredients. I'm not saying grill the burrito necessarily but heat the tortilla to enhance the flavor of the tortilla and soften it before filling.

The fillings were ok except the beef filling was bland. My husband liked the Spanish rice filling. I thought it was generic instant Spanish rice. The burritos were served with awful packaged taco sauce consisting mainly of corn syrup and other unwanted ingredients. I wished I had some Taco Bell sauce packets in the car, but alas, we stopped eating there years ago.

The chips and salsa were also a waste of money. Although the pico d' gallo appeared freshly made, who knows. The serving was in a small plastic dish not anywhere near enough to mask the taste of bagged low quantity chips from the grocery store re-bagged in a paper sack.

Don't waste your time or money...

Besides tasting fantastic, the way they prepare and package the order is perfect. I don’t feel that they are looking at ingredient cost when they are deciding how much of what when putting together the menu items. It’s as if they think of how they would prefer the food to be if they were receiving the order themselves. With the nachos that I’ve just finished, the chips were bagged separately and the ingredients were layered in a different container. They provided a fork, which I questioned, for about a second. Then realized that I did want it so that I could get just the right amount put on my crisp tortilla chip and have the best bite every time! I haven’t even delved into my tacos yet. I took the time in between so I would not lose this feeling, before slipping into a wonderful food coma, completely satisfied with my meal. With complete and total...

An extra $4.25 for a kid's drink, kid's chips, and tiny ice cream is insane! The taco was already $3.65, so almost $8 for a kid's meal is wild! Also, the rest of the menu shows prices with different meats as the total price, so the little + in front of the $4.25 wasn't very obvious and I thought it was $4.25 total to make it a meal (much more reasonable for a kid's meal). A more obvious distinction would be helpful with so much on the menu to scan through.

The Queso nachos were tasty, but chips were soggy from so much queso/sauce and not many chips. I added jalapenos for 50¢ and only got maybe 5, there was very little chicken which was dry, too - not worth the cost. It is the soft open, so hopefully the kinks will work themselves out, but the price to quality of food ratio felt off to me and likely won't be a regular place to eat,...
