| - Not a great dine-in experience. The restaurant was clean and appeared to be fairly well maintained. However, the staff was not friendly or knowledgeable and the food was just so-so. The cheap, flimsy silverware and foam plates were a terrible combination with hot, heavy, wet food. Maybe a take-out experience would be better?
We ordered:
1) #19 chimichanga plate (large chimi - guacamole, sour cream, lettuce and pico de gallo on top - rice and beans on the side.) It comes as a beef chimi. We paid extra to make it chicken, which i found ridiculous! There were rice and beans inside the chimi as well as on the side. The beans were really good, authentic Mexican refried beans! The chicken, while tasty, was very wet (too wet) and left a puddle on the plate and provide a sloppy (instead of crisp) chimi. The rice was way too salty and lacked any real Mexican flavor.
2) Chicken burrito.
This was for a picky eater so we requested chicken and cheese only. It was loaded with onions and green chilis. Needless to say, the picky eater was not a happy camper. Again, the chicken was VERY soupy/wet. The soft flour tortilla was soggy. Served with a side of lettuce and pico de gallo. Most of this order ended up in the trash. :(
3) Bacon and eggs burrito.
(The menu says these are only served in the morning, but we were told they could make them anytime.) This was 90% bacon, 10% egg with a sprinkle of cheese. Because it was mostly bacon, it was quite salty. Not very good; dry and greasy.
4) Beef burrito, enchilada style.
Again, very wet, which would have been fine if the order had been done correctly and served on a plate enchilada style. What we got was a soft burrito wrapped in paper. At one point, juice actually squirted across the table when my hubby bit into it. Funny? Yes. Something you look for in a burrito? Not so much.
5) An order of super nachos (to share).
We had high hopes for these after reading other reviews. They were maybe 2 - 3 stars (out of 5). The flavor was great! The chips were super thin (but very good) and could not hold all the stuff piled on top of them. The guacamole, beans, sour cream... all good. The meat was flavorful, but gristly and we kept having to spit little pieces out. Plan to eat with a fork if you order these. Not a good idea for sharing.
