| - This was a surprisingly good discovery that is close to where I live. I love Mexican food, but have never thought of Eastlake as a place to find authentic Hispanic fare until recently when my daughter and I decided to give it a try and were not disappointed.
This place is a pretty good size and it was very busy, so it was a bit on the noisy side. We were seated by an adult birthday party of about 10 very loud women, which became annoying fast.
As soon as we sat down we were served a large basket of chips with some very tasty, fresh salsa. Not that big of a deal, but I was happy to find that the chips were hearty and not salty at all. The salsa had a little heat that caught up with you afterwards.
I ordered enchiladas with black beans and my daughter ordered the quesadilla and burrito combo. Our food arrived within 15 minutes, which impressed us, considering how busy they were that evening. Our food was hot, plentiful, and plated nicely--I had never seen Mexican food presented so nicely before, especially my daughter's plate, which looked almost like it was arranged by someone with OCD.
There are only two things that I didn't care for that evening, and they were direct consequences of a very busy establishment: parking was tough to find and it was noisy. The party of 10 loud women didn't help that at all, but people genuinely seemed to be having a good time and that's what everyone looks for in their dining experience.
