El Mercadito de Memphis — Restaurant in Memphis

I used to order from this restaurant all the time through DoorDash. Sadly, today I went to the actual restaurant to place an order. As soon as I walked into the restaurant, I greeted the two ladies.

I was concerned about safety, but they had security driving around, so I felt better about entering and exiting the building. I ordered a chimichanga, but it came up with a salad mix, no rice or beans. I had to order a side of rice. The rice was really good, but not the chicken that filled my chimichanga. It was a darkish color, chewy and heavy salted. I decided not to eat it because I didn't want to take a chance and be sick. That was the most expensive chimichanga that was not good and a bit over cooked. I really think this was my first and will be...
