| - So, I used to think this place was reasonable. Being from California, I've missed good Mexican food so much that I sometimes find myself saying things like, "Maybe Chipotle really isn't that bad..." or things like that. And for a while, Cuzamil kept me from tearing my hair out when all I wanted was some greasy, hole in the wall Mexican food. Cuz when I say I want Mexican, that's what I want - not the fresh ingredient gourmet stuff that they serve at Cantina, but the greasy spoon stuff that is dirt cheap and is essentially what you are craving after a good night out on the town. I'm not talking foodie stuff here.
Anyway, so Cuzamil used to satisfy that for me. But I went recently and man was that pretty bad. I ordered the enchiladas especiales, which were supposed to come with avocado salad (which is really the only reason I got it). What I got were two enchiladas that were gooey, tasteless, the tortilla was chewy and clearly stale... and no avocado salad. I asked about it, and the server came back and said they didn't have any avocado. So... lemme get this straight. You don't have a major ingredient, and you're not going to ask the patron if they want to change their order? AND you're going to charge them as though they got the entree they wanted, rather than two lifeless enchiladas, which are much cheaper? Someone's business radar was clearly broken.
So, sure I'm a little bitter. But given that I wasn't super hot on this place before, this little incident ensures that I'm not going back again.
