| - I ate here for lunch with a former boss. I ordered two carne asada tacos with rice and beans and an horchata.
The two tacos came out on a slop of soggy lettuce. Now, this is where things get blurry. The two corn tortillas that held the carne asada filling pretty much disintegrated upon lifting the taco. Was the lettuce soggy from the excess juice in the tacos? Was the taco soggy from water in the lettuce? How long was it left sitting, that this even happened before it hit my table? Either way, I ended up having to eat my carne asada meat with a fork while I picked out the corn tortilla mush and soggy lettuce shreds. Even then, the carne asada was very bland and the lettuce was so wilted down that I could not even make a make-shift salad.
The horchata! I had hoped that this would be awesome like almost every horchata I have ever had in my life. No dice. It was watered down. Heavily. It was more like tap water with an essence of horchata. I used it as a filler for silence during conversation with my companion, so I drank most of it before my meal came. Even after my meal arrived, I was still waiting on a refill from the poorly attentive waitress. Not even my poor essence of horchata water could salvage this experience. As much as I hate saying it, because I actually like my former boss, I am glad I did not pay for this. I will stick to Filiberto's if I want Mexican food (and a massive cheap and delicious horchata) or I will just save a few bucks and make it myself, thanks.
On a side note, the waitress was mean. Not to us, but to the poor worker that was cleaning up around the tables. She pointed and ordered/scolded the worker to do stuff. She explained how the owner would feel about things not being done a certain way and humiliated her, in a not so quiet voice. I felt so much sympathy for that worker. I will not be back nor will I recommend this place to anyone.
