| - I was a little wary about this place. From the outside, it looks super sketch because the restaurant is semi-attached to a Days Inn. It's awkwardly positioned to the right of the hotel. But hey, sometimes that's where you get the most authentic food.
Walking in, that's when I realized, it was very cultured and decked out. I felt like I walked into an Aztecan temple filled with golden chairs/walls/tables, you name it. It may have been the color of the wood and the light that was shining just right. I felt like I needed to offer a human heart in return for my food. But we'll save that for another time ;)
The menu, like any traditional mexican restaurant was expansive. Average price around $7-12, so pretty good. I think there were over 60 items on the menu. I ultimately chose the Avocado Tostada and an enchilada. My friend got 2 tacos and an enchilada. While we were waiting for our food, the chips and salsa came out. Chips were the same as any mexican restaurant, however the salsa came with two different types: a cabbage blend and the regular salsa. The cabbage salsa was unique and sweet. Usually cabbage is bitter but it was rather pleasant. We also ordered some queso to go with the chips.
I would say the only caveat about this place was the service. It was a bit slow and forgetful. We ordered the queso and we didn't receive it until we got our meal (which was 20 minutes after we ordered). Water refill was slow if not at all (we had to hail down our waiter). Let me tell you though, it was alot of queso, so definitely your money's worth. When we got our food, it was served on this gigantic plate (~20 inches wide). The food was spread out, but it was still alot of food. Avocado tostada was a bit disappointing as I only got 2 small chunks of avocado.
Regardless, the experience was amazing. We got sopapillas at the end. It's essentially fried chips with a sprinkle of strawberry drizzle and powdered sugar. Nice way to polish off the lunch. Til next time amigos.
