| - We have been trying to find a good cheap Mexican restaurant in Cleveland for so long. I think our goal was finally achieved.
When we walked in, we were instantly greeted and seated. They started us off with a basket of chips and salsa. The chips were pretty good, but unfortunately the salsa wasn't anything special (I didn't like it).
We started with a quesadilla. It was a 6 (or maybe 8) inch flour tortilla folded in half with melted white cheese. I was a little surprised at how small it was, but guess shouldn't have expected too much since it was only $1.50. Anyway, it was okay. I have made better at home.
Then we each ordered the 2 taco dinner plates (comes with beans and rice). I asked for one chicken and one chorizo and my boyfriend got two carne asada tacos. When I got the order, they made a mistake and gave me two chorizo and no chicken. Disappointed but it was okay since I love chorizo and WOW...the tacos (both chorizo and carne asada) were delicious!
Beans were okay, I liked the rice a lot. We had to ask for hot sauce (nothing offered and nothing on the table). I am not sure what kind of hot sauce we got, it was served in a small ramekin dish, but it was really good and really HOT...adding it to the rice and beans gave them an extra kick they needed.
Sodas come served in a can (so be prepared no refills). I had a large Horchata. It was served in a very large glass, so no skimping on the drink. I have had better Horchata before but this was a close second to some of the best I have had.
Service was a bit slow, but they were very nice and we weren't in any hurry so it didn't really bother us.
Having lived in the southwest for so many years (with frequent visits to Mexico), I feel like I have had some of the best Mexican food there is and my expectations are pretty high. The tacos here were really good, have definitely surpassed my expectations and cannot wait to go back and have more tacos and even try something else.
