| - This review is only based on one visit -- but this place seems pretty solid.
We'll start with the negatives, which were pretty minor. First the complimentary salsa was pretty bland -- I didn't care much for it but it is definitely family friendly, which I appreciate because I could feed it to my 3 year old. Second boo-hiss, I got one chicken tamale in addition to my meal, it was dried out (both dough and chicken) and already out the corn husk. It was also covered in sauce, which tasted good but was very thick. Not really what I wanted or really ordered according to the menu. I feel like they knew it was dried out and were trying to "save it". I ate 2 bites and left the rest, something I'm not known for.
Now for the good -- I had the vegetarian stuffed Anaheim peppers and they were really fantastic -- think spicy mashed potatoes in a pepper and covered in the most delicious cheese sauce you can imagine. Literally, something I could eat every day. Husband had the chicken burrito supreme and I tried it. The chicken was perfectly cooked and the burrito sauce was lighter and much more delicate than sauce on the tamale. He really, really liked the cheese sauce too, which was also on the burrito.
The rice and beans were standard, as was the service.
Really, what pushes this place beyond a 3 is the cheese sauce and the potatoes in the Anaheims -- they were just exceptional and much better than other local Mexican places.
