| - Went there with a friend from out of town for the first time. Only a couple customers already there when we walked-in at about 6:30PM on a Wednesday.
Greeted & seated promptly & served water, along with a very small bowl of chips & salsa.
As a vegetarian, I really didn't see anything on the menu that I could eat, though my 50 year old eyes & the dim lighting made the menu a little hard for me to read.
When the server came to take out orders, I asked if I could just get some cheese & onion enchiladas, though I didn't see that listed in the menu. With the option of several sauces -- red, green or mole, I chose mole. Expecting rice & beans to come with it, I asked for black beans (since refried beans are normally cooked in lard) & was informed that the meals come with rice & pinto beans.
During the 15 minutes or so between our order being taken & being served, we ate about half of the chips, and all of the salsa. There was never an effort on the staff's part to see if we'd like more of either (& yes, I would have), or if we'd liked a spicier salsa (which I would have -- what they served was good, but sweet).
Eating at a variety of Mexican restaurants pretty regularly, I was immediately surprised by the small portion of food on my plate & that of my friend. A small quantity of Mexican rice & pinto beans were brought to us on one separate plate -- I guess we were supposed to share it, though the quantity was really just enough for one normal person.
The flavor of my food was good, and my friend loved his meal (living in the mid-west, he admitted that he can't find decent Mexican food near his home). However I left the place hungry. I don't know how much the bill was as my friend paid it as a business expense, but the quantity of food was poor and I will avoid this place in the future, going to numerous other Mexican places in the area that are better deals.
