Food: 0/5
First of all, the service here was FANTASTIC! Server and owner were very nice and accommodating. The atmosphere is amazing as well. Has a nice vacation feel to it. The food unfortunately was destructively non-Mexican. We ordered Enchiladas, which were not enchiladas. What we received was a plate with wet black beans and feta cheese, rice with soggy jalapeƱos, and three "enchiladas". The "enchiladas" we're three tortillas stuffed with beef stew and cheese and topped off with a bit of cheese and ragu pasta sauce. The entire meal tasted like salty beef stew and not Mexican at all. Compared to Mexican restaurants like Don Tequila in Buffalo, NY or Viva Mexico in Canton, GA this place is embarrassingly bad. The food was pre cooked and reheated so it wasn't fresh.
This place is NOT a Mexican restaurant. It is a fast food chain. We were provided with old chips and store bought salsa as complimentary appetizers as most Mexican restaurants do.
Recommendations:
1. Do not use pasta sauce as enchilada sauce.
2. Do not use chopped beef cooked in beef stew. I know it seems like a great idea to use slow cooked beef stew since it makes the meat tender, but it also makes it salty and well....taste like beef stew. Use ground beef with the appropriate seasonings. It's cheaper and more authentic.
3. Black beans are soggy. Provide an option of refried as well. Also, lay off the feta cheese.
4. Use dry fresh jalapeƱos. Not soggy ones.
5. Where are the hot sauces? Provide hot sauce for sit in customers. Do not sell the entire bottles on their own.
6. Take a trip to the southern United States and get a taste for how Mexican food should be. If you can't go too far, I recommend you drive down to Buffalo and visit Don Tequila in downtown Buffalo. They are authentic and have top quality food!
Again, service is amazing and the atmosphere is welcoming and great! But our fast food meal cost us $50. Not acceptable.
