| - At one time this was a place to go grab something quick and have a rather tasty time doing it. But now it just sucks something awful.
The lobby is stuffed with the usual 19th ave and Bell crowd, you know the type, hookers, meth users, the homeless hordes looking to get a free water and maybe hassle you outside for some change. I know this hood from living among this filth for about 10 years now. The inside lobby hovers around okay to almost gross from day to day and the employees seem to be bored with their work or just bone idle. It wasn't like this until as of late. Everything changes for the worse I guess.
Their Super Nachos are a pile of chips with big spoonfuls of beans tossed in the middle and then some meat sprinkled on top maybe just a lump of pico in the corner, some DARK GREEN splooge splattered all over everything, to just a touch in one corner. Not much about it is supreme or super. It just bites the big one. Horrid and a tragic mistake mostly.
Their rolled tacos used to be really good. Now you have to crack the stale, dry. hardened ends off these microwaved critters before you can cut your gums to pieces. The cheese is usually in one corner or not at all. You should never ask them to remove anything or to skip an ingredient, this will surely result in a ungodly amount of whatever you don't want to be placed front and center. Generous amounts of malice and self loathing will ensue when you discover what has been done to your order when you get home. You drove up and ordered, it must be your fault...and it is.
Their carne burritos used to be a glorious feast wrapped in wax paper and delivered on the glowing hands of the burrito god himself. Now it seems they are tortilla wrapped in tortilla smothered in bad nightmares and disappointment. If I were to show you a picture of one of these saucy sexy beauties circa 2004 you would know what I am talking about. They were the be all end all of my lunch hour eats, an amazing treat. The photo now shows a withered pallid dough wrapped in dough. A has been in itself, puny and full of pico I surmise because it is cheaper than carne, or whatever the meat is now.
Maybe if the owners were to pull through their own place and eat there sometimes, or if they were to send a couple secret shoppers plodding headlong into the drive-thru, there would be a change at this place. But I really doubt that. There is nothing that will bring this back to it's former glory.
I don't expect anything near or on 19th ave and Bell to be anything but a glass smoking, whore hopping, drug snorting, good time. But this place kind of represents the generally malaise of the area, in style and in cuisine. Avoid at all costs and if you must out of curiosity's sake take the drive-thru and keep your expectations super low.
Anyone that rates this place over two stars has a head injury and needs to be looked after, or works for the owners. And that is a fact!
