This is a very unimpressive place from presentation, to the food itself. We have eaten at many Mexican restaurants in various states and in Mexico, but this food and the waitress understanding of the order was not good.
For beverages we asked if they serve Horchata, and were told yes but we only have 1 left. So this meant they had 1 serving left to us. So my husband said he would have Jarritos soda. The response we received was , well I said we just have one and that is what you ordered. I told her no I wanted Horchata. With a face said "oh is that the milk stuff, yeah we do not have that. "
Then we were brought a small plastic bowl of chips with two bottles of unmarked salsa. We thought the white cap meant mild, red cap, hot, so we tried the white cap first. It was so spicy we practically choked. Thought they mixed up caps, tried second it was even hotter. It is most unusual to serve 2 hot salsas. Not all Mexican food is spicy ,it depends on the region of Mexico the food is based on.
The chips we small and appeared to be more of a scoop chip than the standard tortilla chip, served in a plastic red cereal bowl.
Food came out, also on red plastic dishes. I had chicken tacos with rice and beans. The chicken was actually good, the rice and beans were from a can and tasted as such. When asked if I wanted lettuce, tomato and cheese on my tacos, I declined asking for cilantro and onion, and received a response Oh you want street tacos, Which if that is what you wish to call them fine, but it is Mexican whilst cheese, lettuce and tomato is American. When they arrived they had red onion as opposed to white, cilantro and cheese, but is was not Cotija, which is sometimes used it was shredded packaged cheese.
My husband had the chicken enchiladas , we were both surprised to see brown sauce as opposed to traditional red sauce, it appeared to be far more gravy like than a sauce. Again the spice was overwhelming. Also something not traditional for enchiladas. Most of this food was far more Tex-Mex than Mexican. He actually ended up a bit on the ill side.
The cheap plastic dishes is very tacky. But we can't recommend nor will return. Most of this food one could open up cans at home and make...

Iāve been all over America trying out different Mexican restaurants and taco trucks. This was by far the worst of all. I wouldnāt feed this to my dog.
We ordered nachos and tacos. The nachos were drenched in an awful cheese sauce and absolutely nothing else. Did a teenager make this?
The tacos had cold, obviously store-bought tortillas and shredded cheese, lettuce, tasteless unseasoned meat, and absolutely no sauce of any kind. Dry, tasteless. Look at the picture. Do you want to pay to eat that?
Iām going to mention that the bottle of coke was brought without a glass and unopened. When I asked to get it opened it was taken in the back and brought out smelling of an industrial cleaner, so obviously a cleaning rag was used in the process. What the hell?

You canāt just call yourself a restaurant and do this! I feel robbed. I mean, it was funny to us afterwards because this was genuinely the worst eating experience weāve had on our road trip. I hope the owner goes out, tries some real Mexican food, and...
