Alfonso's Mexican Food 2 — Restaurant in Stratmoor

I've been to the original location on 21st Street quite a few times. This one is more out of the way and has a completely different vibe than that one. Personally I wouldn't go across town to eat here as there are so many good options for Mexican food in Colorado Springs, but I do like it better than the original location and if you are near Fort Carson I would think about trying it out.

The carne asada quesadilla was one of the best Mexican fast food style quesadillas I have had; it was generous on the seasoning. It did get to be a little strong towards the end, but overall I thought it was really solid. The carnitas taco was pretty good as well (nothing crazy impressive, though) and the rolled tacos were very good. A lot of times the rolled tacos rely on the cheese and guacamole to do the heavy lifting in terms of the taste, but these were...

Overall atmosphere inside was okay, nothing really special it looks like a run of the mill Mexican restaurant, the outside surroundings are sketchy which is why I brought the rating down to a 2 star for atmosphere. The service was alright, kind of slow and the staff seemed a little condescending when answering questions. The food was decent, nothing very special. They don't have salsa or queso. They offered pico and cheese as a replacement for them to which we declined. It's not like a traditional sit down restaurant, you order at the window then go sit down or take it to go. Overall the experience was okay but I don't think we'll be going back. We are used to Texas Mexican food so maybe we are biased but this place didn't hold up the way we were hoping. A little over priced for what you get, but that seems like a common thing...

Tried their tacos and torta and was pretty good, good flavor and actually had seasoning on their meat which is a must! How ever, my wife ordered an enchilada plate so I tried a bite. They need to improve on their enchilada sauce, it was very watery and tasted like canned enchilada sauce which would be an insult to legit enchiladas. Pricing was reasonable, I will come back to try other things in their menu to see what else is good. Trust me I’m a hard critic when it comes to mexican food lol I was born in west Texas by the mexican border of Juarez so I know what good legit mexican food tastes like and what it does not. Sadly a lot of mexican places here In Colorado are pretty bland and not authentic.. you guys at least have good tacos so far just fix your enchilada...
