New to Madison coming from Southern California so that means on a mission for Mexican food. Being hopeful, but it's hard to live up to SoCal Mexican food. This was the first Mexican restaurant we tried.
Food: Ordered the loaded nachos. In CA, we have carne asada chips and carne asada fries which is my go-to order. This dish was the closest. I love nacho cheese so of course ordered this. Ordered the beef not knowing if it was carne asada, ground beef or shredded beef...lol. At least that's the options in CA. Haha. It was carne asada. Came out looking so pretty. We never have olives in Mexican food! Odd. But luckily I like olives. I have to say the nachos tasted really good. More Americanized if you will. The carne asada was a different cut of beef. A little more fat which my husband cannot stand. Slightly different taste but still tasty.
Husband ordered the asada burrito. Not used to having rice and beans in a burrito. But he liked it as well. Again picking out the fatty parts.
We also ordered 1 taco. Can't recall if it was adobada or pastor. Pretty much almost the same. It's pork. Definitely tasted different than CA. But it was yummy.
Service: So you order at a counter and girl brings out your food and drinks. Water for everyone. We didn't know this. So didn't order a fountain beverage because we didn't know they had one and ordered a small bottled soda! And hubby drinks a lot. Now I know they do. She was sweet and attentive.
Parking/location: In a small area in a neighborhood. (or maybe it's just different to us) Plenty of parking.
Verdict: Will try out something new here again.
