| - llanura!
Which is Spanish for 'plain'! And I know not how to say bland in Español.
My boyfriend and I went to El Camino
#1 - Because we enjoy Mexican
#2- Because we like trying new places
#3 - Because we had a Groupon
When we got to the restaurant we were greeted and seated promptly. We were given chips and salsa and our drink order was taken.
The chips are pretty good, and the salsa (not the pico) is nice as well.
For our appetizer we chose the 'El Diablo Dip' which is Chili con queso dip with guac, taco meat, sour cream, and pico on top. The Queso disturbingly thick. So thick in fact that it was just unappetizing to me.
Next the entrees:
I had the 'Democrat' burrito. It's a very big burrito I'll give them that - but when it came out it did not look appealing at all. It had mole sauce smeared on the top (which it didn't mention on the menu) so it looked like a large heap of...you know what!
The steak inside had a funny taste, not sure what it was marinated in, and the rice and beans inside were bland. The overall taste was one dimensional, and I got no wow factor, other that WOW I already paid for this meal through Groupon, 'Down the Hatch!' Don't get me wrong, if you enjoy bland food this is the place for you, so go ahead and get crazy!
My boyfriend order the Iguana enchiladas, which looked little taquitos. They once again had the dreaded thick chili con queso on them which my boyfriend said "It [chili con queso] over powers the flavor of the overall dish, if the dish has any flavor at all with out the cheese".
I can only say that we won't go back because the food as a whole is not that great. Nothing to write home about, nothing that I can't live without.
Sorry El Camino,nunca más!
