I love eating even more than I do sleeping (and MAN do I love sleeping), so of course the first thing I do when I'm traveling somewhere is see what restaurants are near my destination. I grew up in Glendale but haven't lived there in 16 years, so when I come back to visit my parents I try to eat as much Mexican food as I can before sulking back to Seattle where you just can't find anything quite as good. Recently I decided to try Angelina's Fry Bread, which I'd noticed on Yelp during previous visits.
The dining area was clean and well lit, and the staff were friendly. I was interested in fry bread but there were a lot of other options on the menu. I ordered a bean and cheese fry bread taco, and my fella ordered the ground beef version. The good: the fry bread "taco" (fry bread folded over and filled) was the size of my dingdang head. The beans were good, as was the green salsa I put on it. Pricing was pretty good for the amount of food we got. The bad: the fry bread itself tasted a little...off. I'm not sure if the frying oil needed to be changed or something, but it tasted kind of wonky. My fella's ground beef filling was not very good at all - overly salty, and it appeared to be the consistency of Taco Bell (aka: just-add-water) beef. At least the toppings were fresh.
I ordered a green corn tamale to go, and that ended up being super yummers.
Overall the food was a bit of a disappointment considering the plentiful rave reviews, but perhaps the non-fry bread food items are better.
