Emperador Azteca Moses Lake — Restaurant in Moses Lake

I don’t normally share reviews for restaurants but I feel duty-bound to try to scare others away from this place. The first warning I should have heeded was an absence of lunch customers and the second should have been the fusty smell that hit me when I walked in, so really I have only myself to blame for what follows. Next,I had the pleasure of being seated in a booth with several dead basil plants ( still in grocery store wrappers), perched decoratively along the partition. I ordered arroz con pollo which instead of the usual reddish, spiced sauce appeared to be cooked in canned beef gravy. The meat was dog-treat chewy and flavored with an almost antiseptic taste. I thought that a bold twist on the classic dish. The table salsa was…. interesting-not bad, per se, quite spicy ( which I enjoy) but when I got to the bottom of my cold tortilla chips I found an assortment of other types of chip bits, like they had been scraped out of the bottom of the chip barrel- from an era before they had transitioned from store bought corn chips to fried tortillas. It was sort of amusing how bad it all was-but if you’re looking for funny I’d save the $17.99 per entre and buy a ticket to a comedy show. That way your stomach will hurt from laughing hard rather than what’s coming for my digestive tract when the 5 bites I ate work their way...

I will not be going here. I took my kids out trick or treating and the lady there had the nerve to give out tape...yes, a piece of clear tape! I couldn't believe. And she thought it was so funny. It disgusted me knowing that every parent and kid and every other business owner was out there in the cold making sure they made their little ones day and then she pulled this one on everyone. I grab the tape from both my kids bags and handed it right back at her letting her know it was not cool to do that and that i would never go to this restaurant.

Horrible food, really greasy, Pico de gallo and guacamole were old, regular pepsi tasted like diet pepsi, the asada sopes where not made of asada meat, they cooked the meat deferently so the meat tasted like pork. The asada meat was not easy to chew. Their main source of business is the live music they have on the weekends but the place is dead on the week days. Nice murals though! but we're...
