| - I really don't want to give this place 2 stars, because I've come here before and really enjoyed my meal. By based on my most recent experience, even 2 stars might be friendly.
I walked in and ordered a Number 1... so a tamale and an enchilada. Shouldn't be too difficult. Unfortunately, the ordering process was the end of my positive experience though. I sat down in their covered patio to wait for my food.
While I was waiting, a meth addict came in to give herself a shower with the wet wipes they provide on their garbage can. The entire time she was muttering profanity under her breath, and tweaking out. She wasn't really causing any problems or confronting anyone directly, but her presence seemed to put the entire patio on edge. She was in one of those mindsets of having to excessively clean everything, particularly her hands. Unfortunately, the restaurant did nothing to care for her, remove her from the premises, or ask her to stop swearing despite the amount of children also in the area.
After sitting on edge for fifteen minutes, my order finally showed up. It looked really good! Until I took my first bite and found the centre of the tamale to be cold :( After waiting so long for the food, I was pretty disappointed to have it still be cold when I got it. The flavors were a little bland as well.
Unfortunately, I think this is the end of my excursions to El Norteño. There are too many good Mexican places in the area to get cold food and not be able to relax while eating it.
