So this evening was my first time visiting. I arrived about 11: p.m. surprisingly they were too large families out front on the patio and a couple and a couple of other guys inside sitting so I relatively still busy. I didn't see alcohol but that doesn't mean they didn't serve it. Most likely back cans if so. I was told to get drink next time I come. They had some concoctions like mixed beverages. I don't sure if it had alcohol in it or not but it looked tasty. A guy recommended it that was eating there. I will tell you this much about the food completely different than jalapenos or any other Mexican restaurant that I've ever been today. The beans were fresh, bright in color. The rice clearly made that day not stuck together. Okay not hard just perfectly seasoned and the gentleman cooking on the hard top Connery knew what he was doing. My chicken came out flawless. The onions compliment it. The Mexican salad was really fresh and in their sauce is complimented. I asked for the hot and they gave me the high and the mild and they were on point. Didn't kill me with the heart. As you know I like hot and it doesn't bother me but man what at it treat price was reasonable. I paid about 17 bucks for my meal and have a look at that picture that's to go. I can only imagine if they played. It'd probably be amazing to look at. I didn't keep anything. I ate it all. Nothing was left. I even scraped the styrofoam to go box just so I can get the little bit leftover flavors. I will definitely be back again. I'll...
Read moreFalse advertisement regarding the prices. Went in to order 2 portions of the whole chicken. They have the same menus on the bar and the tables with the same prices. Price shows for $26 per order including 2 sides. Having placed 2 orders I assumed it would be around $50 to $60 including taxes. Lady with long hair and no hairnet walking back and forth in the kitchen comes to give me my order and charge me over $70. When I asked why it was so much she says the price is now $32 per order and points to a blackboard that’s barely visible. When I ask why all the menus state the price is $26 she says they just haven’t updated the menus. When I told her they should let people know before they order that the prices have changed she stayed quiet n smiled. No apology or anything, so I don’t know if they are pocketing extra change for themselves or if the prices actually changed, and if they did they should at least let one know. No receipt to prove this, and having my kids in the car hungry I didn’t want to argue so I just payed. But after the chicken being very dry like it was cooked a day before and just reheated along with this bad experience I don’t think I’ll go back again. Portions and taste were not bad but overall not...
Read moreI'm an Arizona on my personal quest for the best Mexican food in the Savannah area I've lived in Los Angeles, Phoenix and spent time in New Mexico, so I know my way around a Mexican kitchen. Today I was driving past and noticed the sign for Pollo Asado. I have had some spectacular pollo asado, from the mim and pop place around the corner from my west LA apt to Phoenix pollo asado chains. For the unindoctrinated, pollo asado is a citrus marinaded chicken that's either grilled or broiled on a spit. I ordered a quarter chicken which was a thigh and drumstick. It came with five tortillas, black beans, rice and a garnish of cheese, lettuce, tomato and sour cream (which are an American thing, and I'm not find of it). Sadly the thigh and leg were small with not much meat and super overcooked so much that the meat resembled jerky. I wonder if the half chicken would have been better, but at $14, my budget couldn't handle the larger size. The black beans were tasty, not too salty or sweet. The rice was okay. The horchata I ordered was really yummy. I'll come back and try something else when I'm feeling a bit more flush. But today I left pretty...
