La Hacienda Salt Lake

My disappointment is as immeasurable as I expected this to be quite good due to the great reviews and the fact that it is the south west. Instead I found it not lackluster but meh. MEH is the appropriate way to describe it not bad but not standout which is disappointing as I have had better luck and better mexican food in rural Virginia then I have in Utah or texas or nevada. Where to start. Salt is from salt packets and not shakers, Chips are 50 cents per refill which I get keep people from just eating chips but they are made in big batches and sit and get cold and stale. No queso. The horchata had to just a dash too much nutmeg. I like the smell of grandma's house I dont want to taste it in my horchata, other than that the horchata was great. The tamale was good but nothing standing out I hate to say it but I've had a better tamale from a truck stop. The fried quesadillas can use more cheese although that could have been on me for ordering chicken instead of the cheese one. The stand out dish was the tongue tacos. Perfectly done. The margarita was ok too 6 dollars with a 2 dollar up charge for patron is great until I ordered a plain shot of patron and it was 7 dollars and was watered down. Makes me now wonder how much patron was actually in the margarita. I cant complain about the drinks too much because they did their job. All and all a good dinner but nothing stands out too much. Would deffently eat here again but if your looking for a superb experience keep in mind it's kinda plain and down to earth which isnt a bad thing but given the reviews and being in the south west could be better
