| - I went here with a friend for lunch and I will be honest before starting this review...I'm regretting not going to Maize which is about twelve feet away! DANG IT!
It's shady, authentic (not in a good way), and hot! It was about a million degrees when I arrived for lunch on this terrible Tuesday. I was informed by the owner/cook/janitor/employee, Alejandro, that tomorrow was dollar taco night. I will not be back.
The menu is confusing, jumbled, and all over the place. It is a blend of a grocery store and restaurant. The reason I say it was "authentic" was because of the dirty floor. I am giving this place two stars because of the dirtiness of it. Crums on the floor, a cockroach greeting me as I walk in, and a bumbling drunk (not Alejandro's fault) going around the restaurant. He apologized because he was cooking a lot in back...so that's why it was hot. Oh well, I wasn't too bad, but it wasn't comfortable.
I decided to go with steak fajitas and my friend went with tacos de pollo. She said I should never take a girl out on a first date to a Mexican place because it is messy! My fajitas were not as spicy as I would like and to be honest, quite flavorless.
It came with the tortillas (okay), refried beans (from a can), and Spanish rice (from the box).
I wouldn't go back her to be honest. I had a 10% off coupon via Yelp. I ended up not having to pay. I am glad. I should have gone to Maize!!! If the owner wasn't so nice, I would have given one star.
I can't wait to have Maize again.
