| - No matter how many times I come here, I'm just so unimpressed with the flavours of the food. I wish I could like this place more; it has a great patio, and the service was decent. The taste of the food is important, and in this restaurant's case, the food was underwhelming.
We came as a group and they were able to accommodate the 6 of us easily. The misters were on, and the sun was shining. A good start to our dinner.
Service: Service was fine. The waitress came around regularly to make sure our drinks and food were okay.
Food: I ordered a California burrito with rice instead of french fries. Maybe I should've kept the fries? I don't think it would have made an improvement. The food itself was pretty gray and boring looking. They have a decent happy hour where the appetizers are half-priced.
Chips and salsa aren't free, but are only $1 during HH. The guac and chips+plantain chips came out to slightly over $4. They were pretty good, not the best, but enjoyable in a group setting. We also ordered some habanero mango hot wings. Those were pretty good and came with some jicama and cucumber sticks. The veggies looked liked they'd been cut much earlier in the day and were just sitting there.
One thing that makes the restaurant unique is the array of sauces available. There are six different bottles of condiments for you to put on your food. I honestly prefer to have the chef season the meal as he deems best, but if it is kind of fun to have the option to have all these sauces. Nevertheless, the sauces I used were unable to make my meal enjoyable.
With the staggering number of other Mexican restaurants in the area, Diego Pops will not be the first one I choose when going out.
