| - I have literally never had Mexican food - no, food in general, this bad in my life.
I am from Texas. I have tons of Mexican family. I was in a very long term relationship with a Mexican and went to every family gathering and reunion. I know what good Mexican food is.
The first red flag for me was there there was not a single Mexican in the building. Staff or patrons. Ok, I'm not racist so I'll give it a chance. My dad makes great Mexican food and he's white.
We sat down and our waitress greeted us 5 minutes later.
She was nice enough but very unknowledgeable on the menu. Told us there weren't pinto beans. WTF? 15 minutes later she says oh actually I just found out we DO have pinto beans. You're a 'Mexican' restaurant, duh you have pinto beans.
Our appetizer comes out, which is chips and salsa we have to pay for (weird but ok). Chips were a bad texture, salsa was ok. My fiancé liked it but I did not due to taste.
Our entree comes out. We ordered the steak fajitas, medium rare, with a couple of sides.
I'm not kidding you. Everything was horrible.
The steak had this weird sweet flavor. It was tough as hell and other than the gross sweetness, it had no flavor.
The rice was some weird white person take on Mexican rice with all these vegetables in them. It tasted bad and was clearly overcooked. The refried beans were more authentic when it came to the texture, but they were flavorless. The flour tortillas were DISGUSTING. They tasted like the kind you buy in a bag from the grocery store shelf. The guacamole was the best thing, but that's not saying much. It was way oversalted, but I thought, that's better than the rest of this flavorless crap.
This is not Mexican food.
I was pretty disgusted and the waitress came over and asked how everything was which was nice. I told her we didn't like any of it, we couldn't eat it. She said she would get her manager.
Her manager came over after a couple minutes in plaid shorts and flip flops (weird but ok). He was nice and asked us if he could give us anything else. I was like, please no. I told him where i was from and he proceeded to kind of insult me by saying "Yeah, it's a little bit of Tex-Penn Mex!" And I was like no. Have you ever eaten Texmex? This is not anywhere near Texmex. It's disgusting. Come to Texas.
I didn't say that, but I was thinking it.
The waitress was really sweet and apologetic.
Anyways, I hated eating here with a passion. There is a Mexican flag painted on the wall and there shouldn't be. This place has absolutely NOTHING to do with Mexico. In any way. At all.
I don't recommend eating here.
