Ever done hard time? This (former Dairy Queen?) has so many bars on the windows you may feel like you're in (or have a flashback to when you were in) the mess hall at San Quentin (Sheriff Joe Would stick you in a tent city).
Actually - the interior is very clean, the tables and chairs are new, the service provided is very nice - plus (bonus) after lunch you are not limited to 30 minutes of rec time per day in the yard.
The food is damn good. Small portions for small prices. Order at the counter and then take a seat in the dining area. We tried the picadillo and rajas gorditas as well as the standard beef and chicken tacos. Authentic. Tasty. But not mind-blowing...
The condiment bar es muy bueno. The chunky salsa verde is the shining star, and their runny guacamole sauce is similar to that at El Guero Canelo. But I thought the red sauce tasted too much of the same flavor as a can of El Pato sauce, and they slice the fresh radishes waaay too thin (like thinner than potato chip thin). And what's up with served ice cold charred serranos? If you want 5 stars from me those roasted peppers should be roasted daily and served warm!
This is a fine 4 star addition to the local area and, like most parolees from the big house, we will be back!!
