Burning Salsa and the Crisp That Wasn't.
After shopping at Trader Joe's we decided to try Los Dos Molinos (LDM) for lunch as it has a cool vibe with its outside dining, music and festive decor. The folks at Trader Joe's had told us that LDM serves very spicy food (which we love) - and they were not kidding! The red and green salsas served with the too thick chips were tasty, but the red salsa was needlessly, painfully hot. An adjacent table complained about the salsa's heat, and the waiter told them he could not eat it either and offered a milder version - the wait staff should offer all guests this from the beginning.
We split a cheese crisp with Machaca beef ($11) that was very, very tasty, however, except for the crust, it was not crispy at all - in fact it was downright soggy - a real shame given the beef's depth of flavor! 16 ounce Negro Modellos draft beers were only $4 - and the prices were actually listed on the menu, which we really appreciate!
Our waiter was very personable and did a great job as did the chips and salsa guy. The only issue we had is that our credit card via an I-pad while the waiter waits - who then has to go inside to get the receipt. So what's the point?
We really wanted to like LDM, but will stick with Abuelo's from now on.
