I came here with my hubby because I was impressed with the tons of great reviews on yelp so I felt like like it was a for sure thing..
I was set on ordering the " Mexican Shrimp cocktail " since I had been craving one for a very long time & figured it would be outstanding since this place was featured on Man vs Food.
( I moved here a few years ago so I don't know the hot spots for this item )
I have had MANY mexican shrimp cocktails in my life that were amazing so I didn't even think twice when ordering since its a very easy thing to prepare in comparison with typical Mexican dishes.. Unfortunately I was very disappointed when it arrived. .. its like the cook forgot to put half the amount of shrimp in it!!! It probably had 7 - 8 shrimp in it with barely any avocado either. .it was mostly juice and Pico de Gallo.. ( I ordered the large on too! @ $14+ !!! ) ..VERY SKIMPY!!! I'm not expecting to be over served but I definitely expect a fair amount of shrimp! Out of many many places ive tried this was by far the chinsiest! The flavor was pretty okay though. .not amazing whatsoever but not bad..It was a very sad night for me since I was really looking forward to finding a place that had great ones.. :( I highly recommend that people beware of wasting your money on this dish. .
On the other hand. ..my husband ordered a combo plate with carne asada tacos , beans and rice and I tried his food and it was delish!
I may give this place another try but definitely not the Mexican shrimp cocktail!!!! I'm on a mission to find a place that knows how to make them the right way and is not chinsey with their portion.
Also....its a restaurant atmosphere, you are seated and have a waitress, but NO Chips and salsa brought out to the table :(
Definitely another downfall!
I'll go to Arriba's Mexican restaurant or Garcia's when I want great Mexican food! .. the price range is same and you get fresh hot chips with yummy salsa too!
