| - I've been reading about Fresco for the past few months and have heard that there is a popular location at my alma mater, Kent State. I've been hankering to try it but my fiancé is pretty partial to Chipotle. Last Friday, I was able to convince her to give this place a try.
I actually liked how bright and big the restaurant was. I was kind of surprised that there was not a large menu above the ordering counter as we referenced a small menu to order. The guy who took our order was definitely a bit strange. I mean I have no problem with how some people dress and look but when you're at work and you're wearing a large bondage style looking necklace, it kind of rubs me the wrong way, especially with my 3 year old present.
After ordering our food, we decided to sit outside on the patio since it was a nice night, a great touch of the place. I went with an order of the 3 steak tacos, my fiancé went with the $5 dollar special of a Fresco burrito, and my son got the kid's cheese quesadilla. To be honest, everything was just kind of bland. I really didn't feel that much of anything we ordered was fresh and it didn't seem seasoned at all, especially the super chewy steak in my tacos. The kids quesadilla was a joke, super small and surrounded by a bunch of chips. I did enjoy the queso in my tacos but that was about it.
Fresco also offers a complimentary salsa bar, which was cool but none of the salsa's really stood out. They were all watered down tomato sauce; pretty disappointing. I had high hopes for this place and even though the other staff members were friendly in coming around with our orders, I most likely won't be back. There are too many other Mexican options in the area, my opinion is to simply pass on this one.
