| - Paul and I almost drove away from Diego's based on the restaurant's exterior appearance, but I'm glad the gods of chance convinced us to give it a try. We literally flipped a coin, and heads meant we had to stay.
We found the interior to be in stark contrast to the exterior. In fact, it looks as though it was recently renovated. Everything looked new, the booth was comfortable, and the bathrooms were clean (muy importante).
Our server brought out tortilla chips, which were pleasantly warm, and salsa, right away. The salsa was far too mild and I could taste chile powder in it, which I thought was odd. Use fresh chiles, please. It also needed some lime juice. Paul asked for hot sauce, and our server brought out a house made sauce. We added some of it to the salsa and it definitely improved it.
Paul ordered a Modelo and a lunch combo platter that included a burrito, a taco, rice, and beans. You can't beat a $3.00 beer, and Paul enjoyed his food selections.
I ordered the cheese enchiladas, which came with rice and beans. The cheese was perfectly melted, and the enchilada sauce, which was an interesting shade of orange, was good. The rice and beans were also good. My iced tea tasted more like water than tea.
3.5 stars rounded up to 4 thanks to friendliness and cleanliness. I would go back.
