I want to start with the fact that our waitress was very kind and amenable. She made us laugh and catered to all of our needs, which should have been easy anyway considering the restaurant was pretty empty. But let me say that the environment created by the other staff was not friendly. A group of male workers were putting tables together for a large party coming in, and I heard them cuss multiple times while doing so. In what language, you ask? Spanish. I may be white, but I am fluent in Spanish. With no latino-appearing customers, it's my belief that they thought no one understood them. When I told my monolingual fiancé that they were throwing around Spanish equivalents of the F bomb, he was shocked as well. He said he never would have guessed that they were saying that out loud in the dining room. Don't get me wrong, we listen to explicit music and use those words here and there, but there's a time and place for such language. Very unprofessional in my opinion, as it makes me wonder what else they say around customers who look as though they only speak English.
Now let's get to the food. I ordered a beef chimichanga. I believe it was around $14. The portion size did not represent $14 when compared to other Mexican restaurants, so I was a bit unsatisfied with that. Anyway, I asked for an absence of lettuce, sour cream, and tomatoes. It came to me perfectly hot and correct. However, the beef was very dry inside the chimichanga and a bit pink in certain parts. I'm not afraid of pink, but I was not happy with the dryness. Additionally, the beans that came on the side were very thin and flavorless. I wasn't too happy about that, but I just combined mouthfuls of it with the rice, which was average. Overall, the food was a 3/5. It didn't wow me at all, and some parts were unsatisfactory.
In sum, I recommend this restaurant if you are okay with average, non-authentic Mexican food. It didn't wow me, although the lack of courtesy by the male staff did. Feel free to try it...
Read moreChicken there is so dry. I have gotten several different chicken dishes, and know others who have as well. It is awful. Almost can't order any enchiladas that don't have at least one chicken. Like eating an old shoe. Last time I was there, the server was rude. We called ahead to see how late they were open and if they took reservations. We finished an hour and a half before when we were told they were closing. When we went to pay, we asked if we could buy some salsa to go. Waiter got upset. Walked away, said kitchen was closed. Handed us a bag of chips and did come back to take our payment. Was crazy. Really used to love this place. Sad that chicken there is so awful and it is difficult to get just...
Read moreGreat service and a nice looking restaurant, but the food wasn't as good as expected. I ordered the lunch number 1 which is a Chile relleno, taco and refried beans. The waiter brought my chips and salsa - which is excellent. And unsweetened ice tea , also fresh and plenty of it. Then the meal came out. The chicken in my taco was dry, which pretty much ruined it. And my Chile relleno was pretty much tasteless. Very disappointing. Not that I was really banking on it being good...I've only had one good one in the last 10 years and I forgot where I got it.😠 Beans weren't the best I've had either. I might stop in again someday,but I'll order...
