| - I am rarely a tough critic when it comes to writing a review, and I am being very generous with my rating of three stars. Let's just say that food is food, and it did it's job for the hour I spent there. However, if you want authentic Mexican food, this is NOT the place.
Where do I begin... the exterior of this place is very inviting and extremely authentic. You would assume that you're in for a treat. You walk inside to find the same authenticity of an atmosphere you would find in a Mexican restaurant too. But, this is all misleading. Unfortunately, the food lacked an authentic flavor.
The red salsa that came with the chips had way to much oregano that overpowered any other flavors that should have been present, such as jalapeƱos/Serrano peppers, onions, garlic, tomatoes, etc.. The chips were also served with a green salsa that tasted as if the chef had spilled sugar in the recipe. Whoever left the review stating that the beans are the best thing since sliced bread, is seriously delusional. The beans were the worst part of the plate, please do not serve beans with shredded cheddar cheese on top. Tia Rosa must be shaking her head. As for the rice, you may as well be serving up some Zataran's boxed Mexican rice. I'll move onto my steak burrito served enchilada style. That was not steak but rather a beef roast, and once again the sauces are way to sweet.
I can't even give the benefit of a doubt that the food would be considered Tex Mex, I've eaten better. I really expected a lot from this place after briefing over the 4 star rating. Sadly, I was disappointed.
To name a few pros:
Great atmosphere
Food was served hot
Great service
Large portions
