| - (NOTE: The 4-star review is strictly because of the salsa. Otherwise this is around a 3 and a half.)
Yes, this place seems slightly too American but don't let that fool you. The food can actually be pretty good. They bring you two types of salsa. The hot salsa is really great. The saving grace of this place. Good enough to drink! Has a nice kick, with a hint of Habanero. Super addictive. I only wish the food was right there on par with the salsa. Again, it is good, It is just way on the heavy side. I personally like fresher, more clean flavors. This place is more of the "Man VS. Food" / "Grease Trucks" variety. My next complaint is that the Chorizo tacos could actually use a LOT more Chorizo. They seem to make them with literally around 30% chorizo and like 70% beans. You seriously mine as well call them "Bean Tacos" (featuring special guest star Chorizo!). I have kindly asked them if I could just please get them with no refried beans but both times was told they cannot. I even mentioned that I would be OK with a slight up charge. Still no help. WTF? They already give you a HUGE side of refried beans. I do NOT need more. In spite of this the tacos still actually taste pretty good if you can deal with the lack of meat in them. The tamales are just OK, I have had better. The host and hostess I had on two occasions were kind of rude. Me and my buddy came in at around 9:15pm, I believe they were closing in 45 minutes... To me this is NOT too close to closing time. I am not someone who hangs around talking until you are ready to go home, I am always thoughtful, I eat quick and get the heck out. They just obviously wanted to be doing anything else but working. Look, I don't blame them but hey, you are there to do a job... an easy one at that, At least pretend to be nice to people. The server I always seem to get (a nice, older grey haired European lady) is beyond kind, super sweet and extra attentive. Overall this is an OK Mexican joint with pretty tasty food, just bring a big huge appetite, drink lot's of water to offset the salt dehydration and expect to take a lot home with you.
