| - We usually don't go to chain restaurants, but my wife has been wanting to give this one a try. What a mistake!! The cold salsa was decent, but we just couldn't understand the warm salsa. Maybe it works back east or in Colorado, but in Arizona when the temperature outside is 110 at 7:00 p.m. it doesn't work. We started with the guacamole table side, which was no big deal. Like Joe D. said "we can make it better and cheaper at home", I couldn't agree more. For dinner I ordered the Oaxaca Camerones, which were wrapped in bacon and stuffed with jalapenos and oaxaca cheese. Now I have ordered this dish in many Mexican restaurant, minus the jalapeno. I can't figure out why these did not even compare to any of the others I have had. The dish is so simply to prepare, but the shrimp tasted dry and the bacon was way to fatty. My wife ordered the Tacos Cascabel, soft tacos with sauteed chicken in a cascabel sauce, which were way to spicy. I love spicy Mexican food and she had me taste one, I couldn't finish the thing it was so hot.
I usually don't write bad reviews, because I have been in the restaurant business for almost 20 years and I know how tough it is. Since I grew up in Arizona with real Mexican food I felt this chain needed to be reviewed. I just don't understand why people who live in Arizona or come here to visit would want to go to a chain Mexican restaurant. We have some of the best authentic Mexican restaurants in the United States! Viva Arizona!
