| - Deju vu, Flash backs, and memories of a blurred period came out of the wood works when I walked into this place. It was Sunday morning around 10:30, and there were three cleaned out bowls of Menudo on an empty table. This is when I looked back at the front door to see if I warp back to the past decade, and was about to get mobbed by a group of kids trying to sell me Chicklets. No Twilight zone episode came about on this visit, but this Taco experience was pretty close of bringing back some memories at back street hole in the wall in Esenada.
Thanks to groupon, I bought a 5.00 for 10.00 special from them, and ordered a Taco and Gordita combo, and a couple of tacos from the front counter. The counter girl was very friendly, and took my coupon with a smile, and told me that everything will be out very shortly. As I sat down at the table, again I got another flashback when I looked outside...damn, this part of Sahara looks like Ensenada. I had some pretty incredible party times in that part of Mexico, and started to remembering about those Tequila girls slammers, which was next door to a place that looked like this restaurant.
My meal came within 7 minutes, and most of it was Carne Asada gordita, and one Barbacoa taco. The went after the Gordita first, and this was my favorite of the entire meal. They do grill it over a gas open flame, and it had good flavor, and more than ample of amount of meat. The Barbacoa was very moist, and they almost can pull this off without any salsa with their version of this meat. The rice, and beans were pretty generic, but isn't most places in Las Vegas at this price point.
Why a four start? They forgot to give me my chip and salsa, and didn't tell me where's the salsa bar was located. I walked up the counter, and was about to asks for salsa, but I noticed the three ketchup size squirt bottles in front..
They do serve most of the top Mexican beers, but this was the last thing I wanted to drink in a place like this.( For personal reasons..lol) The food is great, but I didn't want Rod Sterling coming out, and telling me...you just drank a case of Tecate and giant bottle of Tequila , and you just entered the twilight light zone. I'll come back to eat, but no drinkey, drinkey for me.
