| - First and last time to this restaurant.
They were very busy on a Friday night, so either a lot of people like this excuse for Mexican food or they were mostly there for their first time too.. and I gotta believe the latter..
I was waited on promptly and ordered a margarita. It came fairly quickly and was average in quality, as I mulled over the menu.. but then it seemed I had been deserted.. the family that sat down next to me 10 minutes after I sat down got their order in right away.. I waited and I waited.. and finally my waitress came back and I placed my order.. needless to say the other table got their food before I did.
I ordered the Moreno's burrito "Mixto" which should have both carne asada and pork adovada. I requested green sauce over the top. My first bite was like wow lots of flavor and that suddenly came to a realization that it's super salty!.. Examining what was salty about it, the sauce was the big culprit.. the green sauce is disgustingly salty and has virtually no other flavor.. no heat, nada.. but then picking at the filling, I found that everything was over salted.. like a lot.. then half way through I figured I couldn't find any of the adovada.. asked the waitress (who was very hard to get attention from) shouldn't I be able to tell the difference between asada and adovada? (I was being facetious) and told her I believe I only got carne asada. She offered to bring me a "sample" of the adovada so I could taste it. It came.. and I realized, no I apparently I did have both meats because they taste and look the same! No way they should be so similar you can't tell them apart, Oh and the meats were cut into tiny tiny teansie weensie pieces.. about 1/4 " sq for the larger ones.. I felt I was eating softened kibble.. not MEAT.
anyway.. very poor service, even for being that busy, and the food I ordered at least was on the verge of nasty it was so salty. The Marg was ok.. but she never asked if I wanted another.. just brought the bill when I had stopped eating with plenty left on my plate. No offer to compensate even though I complained about all the above. Then I had to wait forever for her to pick up my cc to close out the bill.
When you have a really good place like El Palacio a block down the road, you don't need to accept this garbage. (P.S. El Palacio used to be terrible when they first opened but they have turned that place around big time and it is AWESOME now, and a pet friendly patio!)
