To be honest I don't eat a lot of Mexican food and we had heard this place was ok so we thought we'd try it.
We started with a Mojito. I don't drink much but I know I like Mojitos and I have to say I really enjoyed theirs, they do it right.
They brought us some nacho chips with two dips, which was nice.
I ordered Faijita's because I'm unoriginal and not very daring. They were $19, which seems high. My fiancee ordered the combo platter which had a burrito, enchillada and quesadillia. It was $16 I believe.
I had seen some other Faijita platters come out and they were all sizzling. Mine lacked any sizzle. It wasn't cold but it wasn't hot neither. They were very generous with the meat and peppers and rice and beans, very ungenerous with the cheese and salsa (I passed on the Sour Cream and Guac, not a fan).
The food itself was tasty but then something weird happened. They brought me 3 teeny-tiny tortilla shells. So I ran out of shells and still had tons of food left. I asked for more, she said they were FIFTY CENTS EACH!!! Are you KIDDING???
I explained, quietly and calmly that I have never once run out of toppings before shells before and SURELY I wasn't the first to say so in their fine establishment. Her answer was "Next time try the whole wheat tortilla's, they are a bit bigger". I found a giant hole in her suggestion, that part about "Next time".
My fiancee didn't finish her meal, which means she wasn't a huge fan. She said it was "ok".
The desserts looked good so we tried some. My fiancee got some apple dish, I got "Rice Pudding Brulee" which promised a creamy rice pudding underneath burnt sugar loaded with cinnamon. On the picture it also came with fruit and whip cream. My fiancee's dessert showed up with fruit and whip cream, I got a dish on a plate and that was it. The cinnamon, which was the part I was looking forward to the most, was nowhere to be found. So when the server asked how dessert was, I was honest with her. Without having to ask, she didn't charge for my dessert.
However, 2 drinks, 2 entrees and one dessert came to just shy of $90... for Mexican food.
No need to go back. To save myself a review, Cocina Lucero just south of Wellesley is owned by the same people. Their menu is about the same except everything is a dollar more but not nearly as tasty.
