| - This place seems to me like the kind of restaurant that doesn't care about yelp reviews; but, I'm going to write one anyway for the unsuspecting traveler or for the person who works in the area and is willing to try something new. When I rolled through the drive through and made my way to the speaker, the first words out of the mouth of the person inside were in Spanish. Luckily I do speak Spanish so a crisis was averted there.
I ordered a carne asada burrito with everything. Cost: $7.00. A little steep especially when I got back to my office and discovered after the first bite, that, in my opinion, the meat was more like beef jerky. To me, the meat was hard, tough, and my teeth hurt after gnawing on it for a while.
Part of the problem is that I myself am really good at making carne asada at home. I use the best thinly cut chuck steak or diezmillo I can find. I season the meat, and grill it over mesquite charcoal mixed in with some hickory wood. Add to that all the freshly made extras and you have one of the best carne asada tacos or burritos you've ever tasted - or so I'm told. I will admit they are pretty good and unfortunately for La Salsita on 32nd and Indian School, it just doesn't measure up.
Before I totally pan a restaurant though, I will go back maybe one more time. I do believe in second chances. If I get another serving of teeth-busting meat, I will know for sure that this is one place to stay away from.
