I hesitated to return to this place, but thought I would give it another try last week... Unfortunately, it was another disappointment.
To sum it up, I ordered 4 smothered burritos, 2 sodas, and a small rice & beans. This came out to a total of over $70!!! The high price was apart due to the fact I added a tip. The tip screen starts at the lowest being 18%. I have to say, nice business schtick, since I didn't even want to give a tip seeing my first time wasn't good, but I felt pressured- the cashier's eyes were beaming straight on me as she held the computer towards me (turned around so I could touch the screen). She didn't break her stare as she watched to see what I would press. 18% made the tip over $12.
Items (sodas) were missed my first time here, but also, the beans and rice were missed this time and I didn't want to return the next business day to request them.
Admittedly, I went towards the end of the day- they close at five, but they only had enough steak for two burritos and the other two had to be ground beef. No chicken left, no pork. The burritos were ok in flavor, but not anything above average and the size of each was rather small, especially for the price. They were not accompanied by anything else; no garnish, no lettuce, no tomato, no sour cream, no guac, ect.
There is no place to sit and eat, so it must be to-go. I've been to alot of fabulous hole-in-the wall Mexican food places in my life, but this was not one of those special places. Their horchata tasted like dirty milk the first time, I dare not try again.
I wish I had one positive thing to say about the food or my experiences. Even their politeness felt disengenuine as the only attention paid towards me was when I was punching in the large tip. Sloppy, expensive, poor food,...
Read moreI've frequinted this establishment since I was a small child so it's sort of a sentimental ritual for me. Sadly all of that has come to an end. Over the past few years I've had several incidents with ; incorrect items in my orders , missing items in my order, paying for things I didn't request or thing I didn't receive. After being given the promise of my missing items on my next visit. Only to be given the run around and told that no recor was kept and it would have only been honored within a week. I was denied . I decided to never return again and made that perfectly clear before I took my leave. I don't live on the E. I travel far to enjoy that food every few months. It's really the fact that the BLACK community keeps that place in business while they consistently accuse us of stealing from them when it's the opposite. WELTON street Cafe would never, But you all let them close down without the blink of an eye. Be the change you want to see. Stand up for you respect and your community. Ps. Cumin, oregano, onion powder, salt, garlic powder....
Read moreBest Mexican food in the city. I grew up in the neighborhood and let me tell you me, my wife and my sons go here at least every time we get the chance since we moved so far from them. When we go we usually order the #4s chili and cheese only and Smothered all hot, Enchiladas, Rellienos, Chilli Cheese Fries mild and the Breakfast burritos with eggs, potatoes, chili hot and cheese. We end up spending at least $170+ not because they are expensive. It's because we ordered enough to last us a few days at least. They recently raised their prices only due to inflation, wages and shortages that are beyond their control, which I'm surprised they barely did this and feel that it's still well worth the money. This is a family owned business and hope this review helps them out. I only give true honest reviews that are never paid, solicited, coerced by any person or business. All my reviews are due to my personal experiences so that way you know they are real and honest. Hope everyone enjoy the Curtis Park Creamery as much as me and...
