| - Granted I lived in California for several years, so my expectations may be high when it comes to Mexican food, but any way you slice it this place was just bad.
I phoned in an order and was told it would be ready in 15 minutes. I arrived (15 minutes later) and I watched about 20 more minutes of Ms. Doubtfire on their TV before my order was close to filled.
Half of my order was ready when I first arrived, so by the time the rest was done, it had been sitting for at least 25 minutes.
We ordered Fish tacos, carnitas tacos, barecoa quesadilla and chips with guac. My wife and I really wanted to like this. We want to find good Mexican, but the guac was so bland and whipped it needed a Gerber label on it. It spread as easy as margarine. The chips were over-fried flour tortillas. Being over-cooked made them very greasy.
The fish tacos were also very oily and tasted surprisingly fishy. It was a large piece of fish, but it was burried in a massive cascade of vinegary cabbage. Still, it was not specifically bad, just not very good.
The carnitas were dry, dull and flavorless. There was a large amount of meat, but since it was not enjoyable eating this taco quickly became a chore.
The most flavorful item of the menu was the quesedilla. It was, however, dripping with oil and soggy.
We ended up throwing most of a nearly $50 meal away. We really wanted to like this, but from service to flavor to price we were taken advantage of.
I would not recommend this place or chain to anyone I like or respect.
