| - We are still mourning the loss of La Tolteca. The ratings here seemed to be outstanding, so maybe this is a replacement??
The server was very friendly and helpful. Big guy. Very nice. We opted for some predictable Mexican dishes so we could compare to other places. Normally I use the chimi for that, but they didn't seem to have that on the menu. We ordered guacamole and chips (this is not gratis), a burrito, a tamale, and two enchiladas. Nothing fancy.
The guacamole was very good. The salsas were pretty good too (they come with the guac). The chips were fresh and hot from the oil. The burrito was large and flavorful. The server said he would choose the filling for us, and he chose cochinita (if I recall what he said). We also got the green chile tamale, two chicken enchiladas (1 red sauce, 1 green sauce). Plus rice and beans (included with the tamale and enchiladas).
The beans were your basic refried beans. OK as a chip dip, but nothing special. The rice was better. Had a slightly different flavor to it. It was nice. The tamale had a little kick. The masa was dense, but the flavor was good. The burrito was in a red sauce, and it was really good. The enchiladas were fine also. Overall a respectable performance.
As they got busier service became less attentive. Makes sense, but they should have made a point of checking back anyway.
This is not La Tolteca, but it's pretty good. If we come back we'll have to try some different things.
