Trapala 2 — Restaurant in Hubbard

After having dined here about 5 times in the last year, getting a different dish every time, I have to amend my review downward after just eating there once again. I ordered my first Trapala Burrito (Pollo) and I agree with another reviewer, it was HUGE... those who go for quantity most of all will not be disappointed. After the first times eating there, I wondered if it is a certain style of cooking from a certain area of Mexico. Everything I ordered came very WET. Chille Relleno, wet, like in a soup. Chicken Mole came with a big dish of gravy-like Mole... like a huge bowl full. Too much of a "good thing." The one dish I liked had cactus on the plate, and it was really tasty, and not soup-like. So, after reading reviews before going, I told myself to look at pics and not make the mistake of ordering anything that could be unexpectdely "Soupy." I got the Burrito which the menu said came with pico de gallo, guacamole, sour cream and chicken grilled over charcoal with rice and beans. I waited almost 30 minutes from the time of ordering my one burrito until I had to go and ask if they might have misplaced my order which then came right up. I had gone around 3:30 pm and there was one table with a woman and a child who had ordered and been served before I ordered. I was brought salsa and chips but not the Mexican coke I ordered, nor any offer of water. The salsa was very bland, no hint of spice or heat... I never did get any request for water, or check back to see how my food was. The pico de gallo was just lettuce and diced tomatoes. No salt, lime, cilantro, onions, very dull and no offer of hot sauce for my burrito which had no spice either. The chicken did not taste to me like charcoal broiled, just a few pieces of plain chicken here and there. On the side was about a tablespoon and a half of guacamole. I finally ordered avocado on the side to take home with me. I ate about 1/4 of it before deciding that I needed to take the rest to go and fix it up at home after buying fresh pico de gallo at Safeway, along with more avocado and some Mexican hot sauce for flavor. I asked before I left if they don't use cilantro in their pico de gallo and she said there was a "little there." I searched through it carefully and saw none and tasted none. Same for diced onions, lime and/or salt. I realize there are many happy campers here but this review is for a select few who might consider that the food did not get the attention I would expect from what I ordered and paid $16.00 for. The staff, when available, are always pleasant as has been reported, the environment is clean and a nice place to chill, the drinks such as the pina colada in a pineapple are superb. But the food itself is presented nicely but without the necessary attention to make...

I have eaten here many times. Usually the food is great. Today, not so much! I ordered the Enchiladas Rojas. One chicken, one shredded beef and the other, cheese and onion. The beef and the chicken were very bland, they’re usually very flavorful, and the cheese and onion enchilada was pretty much just an onion enchilada. The red sauce had a very strong chili power/sweet flavor and everything was drowning in it The tortillas were homemade, (love that!), very thick and had no flavor. The rice however was great! I was so disappointed, service was great, staff is always friendly, I’m hoping they just had an off day. Will be back to...

I ordered fajitas which were very much delicious but I wish it had more meat I had SO many veggies it was overwhelming but the food was delicious definitely plan on visiting when in the area again. Beware when your sitting down just taking your jacket off they ask if you want guacamole or queso fondido.... its not free, I know you pay for food but it was before menus and I figured it would just be a small dip on the side to go with chips... it was not, and the bowl was $15 at the end in addition to the food. So good job on tricking us with that but...
