it's quick. it's fairly inexpensive... but i seem to remember an adage that went something like.....
you get what you pay for.
yep. that was it.
i have been to this location on springfield several times, and to be honest, it's just alright. the salsa is sort of flavorless. the chips are not that great. they use white american cheese instead of authentic mexican cheeses. i know because i asked when my quesadilla tasted like a grilled cheese. the waitress said, "maybe it's because we use american cheese." yeah. i bet that's it.
the staff is extremely nice and quick. i did have one instance in which a waiter wrote himself in a $10 tip on a bill i paid with a credit card. when i caught it on my credit card statement, i called the manager, marco, and told him. he gave me the $10 back. no questions asked. that was incredibly cool. not cool someone stole $10 from me... but hey, marco took care of it.
the food isn't terrible, but it is not something that will inspire a diary entry about the day you had the best mexican food in the world.

edited to include the fact that the el toro on south neil street is a much better deal. they have a special menu for the week with dishes not included on the regular menu. i ordered a vegetarian burrito from it last week that was the bomb. it had authentic queso on it and the whole nine. so... springfield ave, not so much. neil street, maybe?
