Checked Susie's out today with Alexander C. Perhaps I was too absorbed with the conversation that I didn't notice the food or maybe the food itself just wasn't that special.
Between the four of us we ordered a bit of everything. The soft tacos with lengua, cabeza and pastor were solid - would've been better with more onions and cilantro. The green corn tamale was bone dry - it was obvious even before I put it in my mouth - the corn husk looked like it had never seen a drop of water. My guess is that instead of steaming it to heat it up, they had just baked it or even worse, nuked it.
The best dishes seemed to be the soups - Alex's posole had the right color to it and my albondigas contained some tasty pillowy-soft meatballs.
I don't think Susie's is any cheaper than most of the other Mexican joints I've been at. In fact, El Nopalito's tacos are only 99cents. Susie's tacos were $1.45 and up. Mexican food is in general cheap (depending on how much decor you're willing to give up), so the deciding factor is in the taste which Susie's, unfortunately, did not especially shine at.
