I was introduced to this restaurant from a new friend - I know of this great secret Mexican restaurant hole in the wall youre going to love. So after all that anticipation and making it there, I can tell you she was correct. This is a great Mexican eatery that I would like!
Unfortunately not yet, I did not enjoy the juice bar. When I ate there, I was unreasonably hungry that I ordered the most gigantic Torta I have ever seen. The Del Rey. Holy heart attack on a plate batman! I imagine even weeks separated from that meal, that I am still suffering from that explosion of food that I consumed. And it was so unbelievably delicious that I cannot imagine that I would like to find any justification to repeat that transgression again
So why the 3/5 mark. I think a lot of the food is greasy. I would really prefer more heart healthy food to give a rating of great / excellent. But perhaps very authentic to Mexico. And I also love that the food is a SUPER value. That is HUGE. I hated that I was served potato chips with the meal, but perhaps that is standard with a Torta? And I wanted so bad to ask the waitress to turn the channel to NFL football - but I did have enough sense that I was in a Mexican place, surrounded by Mexican families, that probably like watching their version of football.
