| - Went there with a large group last Saturday evening. Because it was a large group they forced everyone to have the $25 dollar prix fixe menu which included an appetizer (the salad or soup), a main (burritos, fajitas and one more), and churros for dessert with tea and coffee. I had to really force the waitress to give me an a la carte dish as I do not eat dessert and she reluctantly agreed after calling her over for a second time and told me not to tell the other group members (I sat at the end of the table). I had looked at their menu online and it said that their Pollo con Mole was their "main house specialty" so I ordered that.
Firstly they forgot to give us their complementary nacho and salsa which was admittedly good, once we told them we didn't get any after 25 minutes of waiting.
When everyone got their appetizers a whopping 30 minutes later (because it was a group perhaps) it was the miniature salad with 1000 islands dressing that seems to be on the pictures of all the main dishes in the reviews below. I'm confused, IS THIS MINI SALAD AN APPETIZER OR IS IT SUPPOSED TO BE PART OF THE MEAL. Methinks scam. In any case it was a pathetic salad.
Finally we got our main dishes. My Pollo con Mole didn't look like the picture online, did not contain any feta and as stated in other reviews the rice seemed bland. THIS IS THEIR SPECIALTY? WHAT A JOKE! The food was NOT good but edible. All of the 10+ members of the group who got the prix fixe meals agreed. From enchiladas to fajitas to burritos all overpriced and lacking any discernible taste.
To follow this up they provided two churros for dessert to the prix fixe members of the group, which were probably the worst I've tasted. I got a chance to taste part of one as almost everyone stopped eating after they forced down the first.
Finally, an automatic gratuity. I understand this policy but for such garbage service and food I wouldn't have tipped as much.
If you want better go to: fat bastard burrito, big fat burrito, burrito boys, chipotle or even mucho burrito. La mexicana is not in any way more authentic than these places. The fajitas at Kelsey are just as authentic, are far more tasty, have much more quantity, and are far cheaper.
Did I mention my stomach was upset afterwards? Must've been the premiumly priced $20 refried beans.
