| - So far I have dined at Belair twice, and I had a really great experience and a so-so experience. My first time dining was a Monday and they have 25% off all burritos, so I had to go that route of course! I tried the Gringo burrito as it was recommended by a co-worker. The burrito was absolutely HUGE and amazing, I almost thought it tastes like a casserole in a burrito. Our service was amazing, the chips and trio of salsas that you get as a free app are really, really good. Overall this trip was very satisfying and I feel like you can get A LOT of food for a great price. I ended up taking half of my burrito home 'for later' (which ended up only being an hour later, haha). So, fast forward a few weeks, we did a work lunch there with 6 of us. We went on a Tuesday, and they have a deal on Tuesdays where select tacos and tamales are $2/each, and if you get 3 or more you get a free rice/bean side! I decided to take advantage of this special, and I got the Ninja Pig taco, the Baja Tilapia taco, and the Pollo tamale...I was not quite as impressed this round, and I had really wished I got the burrito again. The Tilapia taco just tasted like breaded fish on a shell, not much flavor. The Ninja pig was a little too crispy for my taste, it was almost dry, but I did like the flavor. I LOVE tamales, and the tamale they brought out was really disappointing. It was not like a traditional tamale at all - way too much breading, not enough filling. The filling that was there, was really dry chicken. If/when I go back, I will be sticking to a burrito because they seem to have those down. Also, the second trip - it was much busier and it really showed. Our waitress didn't come back to take our order for a really long time and we had to hunt her down several times. We kept asking for water and finally asked if she could leave a jug on the table (because it was impossible to get water from her) and she gave us a story why they are not allowed to, so that kind of sucked...if she was checking on us it would be one thing, but she was not. A few of my co-workers have been back since and have commented on the poor service. I think it's worth a try to see what you think for yourself!
