| - This three-star (scored generously) experience is really half on me for not spotting the warning signs. First of all, ordering vegetarian at a place known for its meat dishes is probably unwise. You've effectively excluded yourself from the things everyone else recommends. Second, ordering Mexican food while at seminar in Wisconsin when you spend the rest of the year living four hours from the Mexican border is probably also a bad idea. Third, ordering any food at all within a half mile of a busy college campus is universally known to be a misstep. But I was very hungry and had heard good things, so ahead I went with my bad idea self.
I saw fajitas, and that sounded good. It probably should have been a warning sign that the vegetarian fajitas were the same price ($12) as the meat ones, but I instead took it to mean I could expect great things. Then I went home and realized that I'd been given reheated tortillas, rice, tomato, avocado, and about three pounds of sauteed onions and peppers. And they weren't even interesting peppers--just red and green bell peppers, with nary a hint of any spice. Since I was given two tiny cups of unmemorable salsa, I got through the sides and two tortillas worth of the veggies before giving up in boredom and despair.
So, for $14 after tax and a small to-go tip, without a drink, I'm still hungry and may have to go back out for food. I would go with two stars here, except the meat dishes coming out of the kitchen while I waited for my carryout looked quite interesting, so benefit of the doubt will be given and I'll just write this one off as a bad call and file Los Gemelos under "not recommended for vegetarians."
