| - Someone owes me 12 salsas.
We came to check out Las 15 salsas (minus 12) in Sunnyslope. The place is fairly small with seats for about 25 or so. Nothing fancy but clean enough. The menu is pretty vast with everything from tacos to tortas to mole and menudo. Everything sounds great on the menu. As we pondered what to get we saw a lot of tluyudas coming out of the kitchen and they looked great. We figured it must be good as about 7 of them were being handed out at different tables. We ordered one for the table. For those who don't know it is basically a massive cheese crisp on a huge baked hard shell tortilla and covered with beans, cheese, lettuce, pork, chorizo, and slices of steak.
We put our order in and waited for our food. We had chips and salsas and they were excellent. Fresh cooked chips and 3 pretty good salsas. A creamy avacado salsa, a chunky red salsa, and a roasted tomatillo salsa. As we ate and visited we ran out of chips. We received more and waited and visited longer. We then ran out of salsas and chips again. We waited longer. The staff seemed overwhelmed. Tables weren't clean for the next customers and they were running back and forth from the kitchen to the front. We waited some more. And then some more. It was almost an hour by the time we received our food. Mind you, we only ordered a few tacos, a couple ceviche tostadas, and a tluyuda. This wasn't a huge meal we are talking about here.
The food finally came out. It was all very simple. Precooked store bought shrimps on the ceviche, store bought tortillas on the tacos, very plain and simple type food. What took so long is beyond me. I could have whipped this up in 15 minutes flat. The tlayuda had a odd taste I could not put my finger on but I believe it was the shredded cheese on it. It was off putting for all of us.
We finished eating and waited and waited. Finally after about 15-20 minutes I went up to the counter. And stood there...waiting and waiting.
As we left my primo asked "But I just don't understand...why is it called 15 salsa if they only give you three?" I replied "Probably because by the time your food comes out you have had 15 refills."
Wont be back. Don't recommend.
