| - So.... I got talked into going here because
A) there are no really good Mexican restaurants in the south hills
B) I really wanted a margarita
C) I didn't feel like driving into lawrenceville
First of all, century III should be put out of its misery. It's a ghost town with the silver sneakers crowd doing laps around the empty mall. I hate going anywhere near this place.
But, I was willing to give it a try becuase of the mixed reviews I've seen on here.
To start, it was Friday, prime time! And.... Besides the 4 wait staff, we were the only ones there, strike one.
The waitress was very nice and knew the menu. One point redeemed
The margaritas were huge and very strong!! One more point redeemed.
Chips and salsa served when we sat down, fresh chips and homage salsa, pretty good!
We ordered two different combo payed so we could sample the different dishes.
The food arrives quick, which always scares me.. Why was it so easy to put together? Strike two.
When my question was answered when the food came. Although there was plenty of food, it wasn't very good
The refried beans were stale and tasteless and the rice was awful. If you're going to serve that as a standard thing, at least make it taste good. Strike three.
I have the taco the burrito and the relleno
Smothered in cheese and some sort of red sauce that had no flavor to it, almost like ketchup?
It was just not good.
In an area where people actually go to, it might do well on its drinks alone, but seeing that it is located in a mall that had more employees than shoppers, I can't imagine it will stay long
Pittsburgh needs more good Mexican food, especially in the south hills.
