[Time & Date of visit]: 7pm Friday Night, March 27th 2015
[Location/Ambiance]: Slightly Noisy, various families dining in. Aside from the tiki bar, there's not much decorations going on. Booths run along the sides of the restaurant with various tables in the middle. The parking lot is shared with another Mexican restaurant at the end of the plaza but there's still plenty parking in the lot.
[Service]: The restaurant started to get more filled through the night, with the 2-3 servers covering majority of the restaurant. There were food runners bringing out the entrees. I would say that they are quite busy on weekend nights. Expect service to get a little slow once the restaurant fills outs.
[Food Highlights]:
Torta, Las Palmas ($6) - Recommended by our food guide for the night, Marcus O. This is definitely filling. The bread is slightly toasted to give it a little crunch as the inners get's that needed bit of sogginess of the meats and veggies. The crumbles of chorizo does spill out a bit when grabbing for a bite. The carne asada is marinated well. Both flavors mesh well and make this torta worth a try. For this amount of food and flavor, I'm not going to question how they are making money for what they charge. But I'll take one more for the road!
Tacos Camarones ($2) - Though the torta was filling itself, I still wanted to try how their taco's stack up to what the other Mexican restaurants around Roswell offer. This version is served with the shrimp battered and deep fried, bits of lettuce and with generous portion of sauce similar to sriracha mayo. Not what I was expecting but decent. I think Taqueria San Pancho's grilled variety tops this one.
Tacos (pork) pastor ($1.25) - I think this was one of the better taco's of the night. Though the pastor isn't as flavorful as other taco places it's still juicy and fared a lot better than the camarones. Thick slices topped with a couple of onions and other greens.
Bottle of Corona ($3.50) - paired with a lime
{Summary}: I'm glad that our fellow yelper Marcus O. chose this place as our yelpers foodie dinner adventures. The value is awesome for the amount of good food that you get. Though it's a bit further up from the house, it's worth the drive for value for the food you get. Stick with the Tortas if you're unsure of...
Read moreGREAT FOOD. Not so good service. Stingy with the chips and salsa..when you do a pick up order you get no chips and salsa, in the restaurant they only give you a tiny plástic "salad dressing cup" with salsa. I sat there for 15 minutes before I was served my water, and she served the food at the same time, failed to serve me chips and salsa or my drink until my order was ready. However 4 gentlemen that came in after me was drinking there beer and eating their chips and salsa before I was even served my water. The waitress finally brought chips and salsa when I was half way done with my lunch. I wouldn't suggest dining in unless you are a man, or...
Read moreI went here recently for the first time ever with my friend and oh let me tell you I LOVED it. I went here and had a carne asada torta and once I received it was hot and fresh. I gripped my hands around the torta and took a bite of it. Once I took a bite out of I felt what I feels like to be loved for the first time again. It felt as if you're mother had cooked you a meal with all her love and compassion. This torta made me ascend to heaven, the person who took the time to craft this torta is a GOD. I hope whoever made the torta will receive blessing for the rest of their life. I loved the food here and I feel as if this place is now a...
