In the quest for authentic Mexican cuisine, my expectations led me to La Bufadora, a name that promised an experience akin to the culinary delights of Ensenada. The anticipation was palpable, fueled by whispers of its authenticity and the vibrant flavors that awaited. However, the reality that unfolded was a narrative of disappointment, a culinary journey that veered significantly from its promised course.
Upon arrival, the first encounter was with a burrito that bore the hallmarks of minimalism, not by design but by shortfall. The portion presented was a stark contrast to the hearty offerings of even the most commercialized Mexican food chains, such as Del Taco or Taco Bell. This diminutive offering was not only lacking in size but was also a misstep in the dance of flavors. The El Pastor, a dish that should sing with the harmonious blend of spice and succulence, was instead an off-key rendition, overly sweet and devoid of the robustness that characterizes authentic Mexican fare.
The disappointment was compounded when the desire for a wet burrito, a staple that conjures images of rich sauce enveloping a generously filled tortilla, was met with a disheartening revelation. Despite its presence on the menu, I was informed, with a casualness that belied the gravity of the omission, that La Bufadora no longer served wet burritos. This disconnect between expectation and reality was a palpable blow, a culinary promise unfulfilled.
Thus, my visit to La Bufadora was marked not by the discovery of a gem in the landscape of Mexican cuisine but by the realization that the search for authenticity is fraught with mirages. It was a first and final visit, a chapter concluded with the knowledge that Perris, CA, is a tapestry rich with culinary options, among which La Bufadora will no longer be considered. The journey for authentic flavors continues, with the hope that the next destination will be one where the essence of Mexican cuisine is not just promised but...

And I said, but it is 8:55 pm and you state that you close at 9:00 pm. The young lady answer back saying, well, there is no people. And she walked to the register, I thought she was going to take my order, but instead she said, in my register it says 9:01 pm, we go by that time, not the time on your phone.
I am there to obtain a product and service, and I will pay with my money. If you state that you close at 9 pm, then close at that time. I will never visit this place again. Sorry, but when you are in the food and service, both must be...

Horchata water tastes so fake to what a real horchata is And to make it worse the cashier who was recieving cash payments and serving ice and drinks at the same time and putting his dirty hands "inside" the drinking cups before filling them uo, the blue sanitazed gloves they're wareing are just for looks, I saw the employees cleaning tables wareing them and then going back to the kitchen and continuing touching food without changing the gloves for clean ones, same with the cashier...
