Walked in around 530pm and the lone owner/waitress working tables seemed completely overwhelmed with 7 tables to herself. Perhaps someone called out.
We ordered a carne asada chimichanga with both green and red sauce (they called it "Christmased") and carne asada enchiladas with the green sauce. If you want something out of the ordinary, go for the green on pretty much everything on the menu, it seemed to embolden what a "chile addiction" is all about. Chunks of green chili (I'm going to guess) is what gives this the New Mexican Tex Mex food authenticity although I've never been to New Mexico. The red on the other hand was your very basic red sauce (read: nothing special doin'). The carne asada was tasty and they gave me a decent portion inside.
The sides of refried beans and rice were pretty standard. I would skip the zucchini and squash side even though I was looking forward to it...tasted a bit bland.
The chips were very fresh although the salsa didn't seem to be, reminding me of chunky old el paso.
I was confused at the honey on the table and I didn't understand what it was for. When I ran out of salsa for my chips I gave them a few squirts thinking that must be what they do in New Mexico. I understood when the food came and they brought out some complimentary "Sopapilla" to go with the meal. It was my first time trying one and I'd describe it as a fluffy fried dough...good stuff.
A couple misses here and there, like not having silverware on the table after our food had arrived and the ice water tasting like it was straight unfiltered tap, but I'm a sucker for friendly owners of mom and pop joints and this place has a nice feel to it with decent food.
They are worth a go for a slightly different twist on Mexican.
