| - Eater beware!! This place is a super rip off!!! Pulling up there was lots of parking for a Friday afternoon. We were seated with ease fortunately then we see the menu....$2.50 for a canned soda?!?! $2.50 for non refillable not even homemade horchata?? Ok my hubby's actual words were "they're trying to rape us, huh?" They brought out some tostadas, crackers, lime, and salsa. The salsa was pure onion with red food coloring. Worst salsa I've ever had!! Now what should have tipped us off to make us leave. We were enjoying our conversation then a guy selling CD's comes by our table....really? One, who listens to CDs still? Two, I didn't go to lunch intending on supporting your family I would like to be left alone. At this point I was just kinda like wtf? But what evs. 3 minutes later a guy comes around asking for money to sing a song....this is not super unusual in a Mexican restaurant but we were seated no where ear the band. Not 5 minutes after that a nother guy comes by selling flowers!! This guy wouldn't leave my table because my 3yo wanted flowers....well she tears apart flowers so um, no. So before we even got our food 3 people came by selling stuff. Oh and I forgot to mention as we were walking in this last had a bunch of swap meet crap for sale right outside the door. It's like these people pay rent to the restaurant to bother the guests!!!
Ok so I ordered the carne asada plate since I don't care for shrimp or octopus. Hubby had coctel de Cameron y pulpo.
The carne asada plate was $15.95 and had a small thin piece of meat, beans, pico de gallo, and avocado. Was it edible, yes. Was it worth $15.95? HELL NO! I can buy that type of beef for $3.99 a lb at Cardenas and hook it up. The fact that my food was just okay is a reason they aren't getting 0 stars(if it were possible)
Hubby's cocktail was unremarkable for the most part except they did give him fresh cut tomato, cucumber, and onion on the side. He orders cocktail wherever he can and I've never seen that! That's why I gave them 2 stars instead of one.
If you are thinking about this place just skip it! My hubby said they used to be the big thing back in the day....clearly by selling crap table to table they need to make extra money!
