Once we looked at the menu we were floored to find out that they charged for chips and also. It was alright, but we've had much better, and more importantly FREE, chips and salsa. My husband's flour tortilla taco with el pastor left much to be desired. Same goes to my corn tortilla taco with carne asada. The meat in there barely resembled meat--it looked like the presliced stuff you get in the frozen food aisle. I also wish that I didn't order rice and refried beans. They were the NASTIEST rice and beans I've ever had. The rice tasted stale with dry peas and tomato... it also tasted more like biryani, which I like when I'm expecting on eating biryani, not Mexican rice. And I've had better refried beans out of the can. And the service was spotty. Our server was nice, but it was slow and it took her three visits to our table to finally ask us if we were ready to order our entrees.
So why the 3 stars? My son's chicken fingers and tots were tasty, and he was given a god amount of food for what we paid. My husband was very happy with his frito burrito--filled with fried chicken, beef, rice, and the namesake: fritos. I know, sounds crazy but it worked apparently. And we were both crazy about my fried chicken BLT and avocado taco. The chicken had so much flavor and was moist. The bacon, lettuce, tomato, and avocado tasted and looked real fresh. Then there was ranch that tied it all together. Next time I'm ordering two and nothing else... maybe I'll try dessert. The desserts sounded good, but we opted not to order anything. Next time I might get a choco taco or a Fat Elvis cupcake because those sounded good.
