| - My friend had heard great things about Chimichanga from people who work in the area, so we decided to try it out this weekend. I am so glad we did!
The food was excellent, there was a great selection - though, dieter's beware, there aren't really any low-cal options on the menu. But are there ever at a Mexican restaurant? Anyways - I knew I was in for some serious calories, so I enjoyed it.
The portions are great. Most of your plate is your main, and there is a moderate (read: realistic) serving of rice and beans. I hate when places fill the plate with 2 cups of rice to try and make you feel better about your mediocre burrito. I got enchiladas and they were great. Not greasy, not too heavy, just perfect.
All the sauces and dips are made-in-house and fresh, so fresh that they actually make your guacamole on a little cart that they wheel up to your table. The other customers evidently found this amusing, as they couldn't stop taking pictures of the guy using his mortal and pestle to grind everything up.
Drinks looked great, but I wasn't in the drinking mood (at a Tequila bar, I know, right?).
The only downfall is we were seated really close to a speaker and I had to practically yell to talk to my friend across the table. We noticed other areas were much quieter though. I think it would be best to get seats towards the back of the restaurant, if you can request it.
The place was very busy on Saturday night. You could tell everyone was having a great time, and I was impressed with how quick the service was, given how busy they were.
