| - Deliciousness - 1/5
Happiness - 2.5/5
i have been here twice, year's apart. And I think the most recent is the last. They do seem to try hard, but living in a state with an over-abundance of incredible options, it is a shame to go to Macayo's (which wouldn't even be top notch on the East Coast, where I am from).
I ordered a combo of a burrito and taco. The taco was fine, but reminded me very much of a Taco Bell taco (and for double the price). But the burrito... oy! I am fine with grease on my food, especially given my love affair with real-deal New York city pizza (where no grease is not an option, at least, not if you are doing it right). But this burrito was practically swimming with it. To the extent where it seemed that they had taken the pan that they used to cook the ground beef and dumped all the contents into the tortilla - including the entire pan's worth of grease. With each bite, a new layer of orange grease would rise to the top AND drip out the bottom corners. I couldn't eat more than half. My wife got the chimichanga and it quite simply lacked any crunch. I know Macayo's says this is their signature dish, but it is simply a woeful offering. The margarita we ordered was delicious and looked great too.
I love the building. The outside is really fun (it looks like an ancient Latin American temple) and the wait staff was truly nice. But quite simply, there is no reason to revisit.
