That just doesn't make sense to me.\n\nMonty and Paula and I try to make it out to lunch once a week since she left us stranded all alone at our building! It was her turn to pick and she chose Villalpando's (of course butchering the name first - haha). Monty and I were sceptical at first but said \"what the hell\"... I'm glad we did because we were both very pleasantly surprised! \n\nThe Food: We both had the Speedy Gonzalez $5.95: one taco, one enchilada, rice and beans. I had shredded beef (choice of shredded or ground) and he had chicken. Paula had the special, one shredded beef enchilada, rice and and beans. \n\nAfter eating a ton of chips and salsa, which were very good - the salsa had a little kick, tasted fresh, and the chips were thin, salty and crispy the way I like them - we got to our meals. My taco was great! Nice crunchy corn tortilla filled with tasty shredded beef, topped with lettuce, tomato and shredded cheese. YUMMY! I told myself that I would save my enchilada for later but I ended up being a big fat pig and eating EVERYTHING, save for a few spoonfuls of rice since I'm not a big spanish rice lover. The enchilada was also very good. The same shredded beef inside a corn tortilla, coated with a red sauce that was very good, not canned, and flavorful, sprinkled (not encased) in a little cheese. The sauce was almost as good as mine! The beans were tasty (also NOT CANNED). The rice was ok, kinda plain, but like I said, I'm not big on spanish rice.\n\nThe Price: Very reasonable. Our entire bill was about 30 bucks, including two drinks and two to-go orders of churros!\n\nThe Service: Very friendly waiter, maybe could have come around to check a little more, but nice - and the food came out fast.\n\nThe cashier was very very nice. We let her know how much we enjoyed ourselves and that we would be back soon. She was appreciative. :o)\n\nAtmosphere: Clean, airy, pleasant. Didn't use the facilities, so I can't comment.\n\nI will definitely be back to Villalpando's... have to take my mom after our horrible experience at another Mexican place (see my review from last week)!"^^ . .
