| - We had actually chosen another Mexican restaurant in Akron to go to that was rated 4.5 stars on over 150 reviews. Our friend arrived before us and texted me while I was driving. She didn't like the area the other restaurant was in and suggested this place. So we went here instead. And of course since I was driving I couldn't look up reviews. BIG MISTAKE! I ordered the make your own combo with a chicken burrito, beef sope and beef tostada. Mind you the beef is ground, not shredded as the menu implies. My pregnant wife and our friend ordered the chicken burrito fajitas. And a side of fries for the kids. My plate of 3 items was incredibly bland. Our friend and I lived in Los Angeles for over 10 years, my wife for most of her life. So we have had authentic Mexican food. This is nearly flavorless gringo Mexican food. Those stating this is authentic in other reviews have obviously never eaten Mexican food west of the Mississippi. To the restaurant's credit, the burrito fajitas tasted good, but it was covered in cheese sauce, not actual shredded cheese. I've never seen authentic Mexican food covered with cheese sauce. I thought the burrito fajitas tasted better than all the items on my combo plate, so I was regretting ordering it and not sharing the HUGE burrito my wife had ordered. Well, later that night when my wife was feeling ill, my bland regrets were abated. I asked my friend this morning if she and her daughter had gotten sick. She said they tummy aches also. My 17 month old daughter had icky poo this morning as well, and all she ate were the French fries. So it seems the issue may be with poor sanitary practices or personal hygiene. On a trip to the bathroom I noticed a woman taking a young child into the back of the restaurant. Makes me wonder what sort of things the boy is allowed to touch or made to prepare. Not sure they understand that this is likely not acceptable by the local health department. So, in summation stay away unless you want bland, overpriced food poisoning.
