rev:text	Tried out La Barquita based on a Newtimes article. Already heard the molcajete was amazing so thought I'd try something different on the menu. Barquita is on the NW corner of 24th st & McDowell. It is in an small unattractive building. The inside is nothing nice. Old floral wallpaper stripes across the middle of the rozay colored walls that have cracks and missing plaster and some funky white tiled floors. There were lots of cool maps of Mexico hanging on the walls. I tried picturing how cool they would look on some freshly painted walls and saltillo floors. My waitress brought out some chips and salsa. The salsa was on the plain side. It didn't pack heat nor did it do anything for my taste buds. Kind of fell flat and left me second guessing what was to come. The meal however is worthy of a the trip. I ordered the chimi lunch special. $4.99 for rice, beans, and a steak chimi. The rice was cooked to perfection. Nice and soft but not mushy. Hot, fresh, and had carrots and peas the way I love. The beans were very tasty. They had an awesome flavor to them and melted in your mouth. Usually the beans and rice at most joints are very weak and these stood out as some of the best in recent memory and were very unexpected. The chimi was steaming hot, nicely fried and was filled with meat and beans inside. The meat was seasoned well but I could tell it had been reheated and had a couple of chunks of fat in it. I would have liked freshly grilled meat, not reheated. It would have also been nice to throw some pico or something else inside to balance the flavor but it was still pretty tasty. La Barquita has some real potential and I would definitely give it another try. There are some things that could be done to make it a sweet little gem. But for 5 bucks for chips, salsa, rice, beans, and a chimi it is hard to complain. You can't get a combo meal for that at most fast food joints these days. With all the men out of work these days they could easily hire someone to fix the plaster, paint, and re-tile that place on the cheap. Spice up the salsa, filter the water, and cook the meat fresh to order and the place would easily earn 5 stars from me.
