| - Since I'm from California, I'm always on the look-out for a good authentic Mexican restaurant. I believe I found what I am looking for! It was recommended by a couple of my friends to try this place out since I live in the Concord area. It kind of reminded me of a 'hole-in-the-wall' place where it's not a corporate America type place *cough* On The Border *cough*.
We started out with the chips and salsa and of course side of queso dips. The queso is fantastic! You can opt out the jalapeƱo peppers and just go with the cheese. What impressed me the most is when we were on our 2nd queso dip boat and received our food, the waitress asked if we wanted the cheese reheated. I've never had a waitress do that, so big points there!
The food was great! The menu was pretty extensive and easy to work through. I got the #22. 1 burrito, 1 enchilada, and 1 tamale. I haven't had a good tamale in a long time and this one was perfect. It wasn't just all corn meal and the meat inside was fresh and warm instead of either still frozen because it wasn't cooked long enough, or just above cool. The burrito could have used a little more meat in it, but it was still very good. I particularly liked the fact that my meal wasn't small portions of what I ordered and a TON of spanish rice. It was all balanced evenly. Like most Mexican restaurants, watch out for the plates, they're hot.
The service was prompt and friendly. Glasses were never empty, and the food was right on time.
Sadly, I didn't drink but I was looking at their drink specials and I will have to come back and try them out. They have $2.99 margaritas that look really yummy, and of course the other standard liquor drink specials looked like a good deal as well.
The only reason why I am giving it 4 stars is because I think it might have had something to do with me getting sick later on. Even though I ended up getting sick, I will still go back.
