I feel torn between 3-4 stars for this place. But I'll go with 3.
We bought a Groupon ($20 for $40) which was good. Started with the guac for $5.95 which comes with bottomless chips and salsa. The guac was good, not great. It was heavy on the tomatoes which I'm not a fan of. But it's a good price for an easy app. Also comes with chicharrones on the side. Never had a pork rind in my life, but gotta be honest- they're pretty good. Almost like rice cakes with more flavor. The actual chips that come with the salsa trio are not great.
My husband had the vegetarian chimichanga. He really liked his, although wish it came with rice/beans or anything on the side. I ordered the carne asada fajitas. The meat was delicious, flavorful and cooked to perfection. I was not a fan of the rice or beans. But the onions, peppers, corn and potatoes were seasoned well and a nice side. Tortillas were delicious.
We also had a pitcher of margaritas that a friend helped us with. The pitcher was 36.00 and was worth with it.
We sat at the bar and the bartender was really nice and helpful. I guess the vibe seemed dull to me, being we were some of the only people in the restaurant at that time. The story behind Hussong's is actually really interesting and being that's it's one of only a couple others aside from the original in Mexico, I would think they would have gone with a more authentic decor. Just my take. Would probably go back again, only with another Groupon.
