| - I probably wouldn't have been very happy with my visit here if it weren't for the really nice tattooed chick working the counter. She was pleasantly eager to see us and asked us if we had been here before. She helped my extra-picky boyfriend find something new to try, and didn't seem annoyed at all our strange requests. It was $27 for 2 sodas, a beef taco, chicken enchilada, pollo fundito, side of beans, and a side of rice. I thought this was a little pricey. The chips were fresh and warm, but the salsa came in those tiny filibertos cups (how do you dip a chip in those?) They do give you 3 mini salsa containers per order/person. They should really just buy bigger ones and give you one cup..or stop with the plastic waste and serve in reusable ramekins. The taco was great but very small compared to the several other mexican joints I frequent. The enchilada was pretty good. I wish the green sauce was spicier. My bf's pollo fundito was great, although I thought there was too much sauce on top. (Remember how picky we are? Preference..) I don't care for Spanish rice, so I didn't try it. My boyfriend ate all of it anyways. The beans were nothing to write home about..and usually the beans are my favorite part of the dish and never get left on the plate. They serve the food on real plates, so it was kind of confusing if we should leave them at the table or scrape them off in the trash and leave them on top. The place looked clean, and they serve reasonably priced booze. I believe the board said $1.50 Dos Equis and $3.00 margs during happy hour, which is pretty sweet. I think I would have given this place 4 stars if I didn't feel so cheated on the itty bitty salsas..or if I had an opportunity to try more than one of them. I feel like it lessened the value of this place. I am unsure if I would return. Maybe if I still lived on this corner, but I wouldn't travel to go here.
