Another Terrible Excuse for a Mexican Restuarant

Stopped in after a long day to get some take out. The place has an interesting name, and the inside is decorated in a tacky Mexican style. I ordered Beef Fajitas to go. They were nicely packaged for the trip home, but oh my, that’s where the nice ended. The “beef” was thickly “shredded” in clumps from a very dry and overdone, crispy on the ends pot roast. There were some tiny plastic containers of artificial tasting sour cream, some pre-packaged store bought guacamole, a tiny dab of salsa that was mostly liquid, and a puzzling solid lump of cream colored stuff that must have been some kind of microwaved cheese – it was rubbery, so it must have been cheese. Three tortillas were included, and I finally found some overcooked onions and green peppers hidden under the dry beef. The dish wasn’t even tasty – might have been worth 3 or 4 stars if there had been some flavor, but there was none. How this place could have been chosen as “Best of the Valley” for 3 years is beyond me. I know Mexican food – I cook it myself, and I’m a native Californian. This is real junk.

Very poorly done and no flavor. See above.

Must have upped their ante

I disagree with all of you. The chicken tortilla soup is extremely tasty and all the offerings I’ve had there over the past six months or so are a cut above many local Mexican retaurants. I’ve had the family back several times at their suggestion and all have been pleased with the food at the prices (called value). Not sure if all of your reviews are older or not. Restaurants can change based on their cooks and often cook’s helpers, maybe the owner had an epiphany? Who knows.

Wonderful, well blended, textured, and tasty soup.

Unremarkable, not quite Mexican food

I stopped in once, probably two years ago. I ordered something along the lines of veggie tacos. I don’t remember it as being bad, but just not worth coming back.

Where is David Blane with his magic tricks?

Dined there 3 weeks ago, I am still wondering what happened! Studied hospitalty management in NYC, managed in two five star restautant’s in NYC under TOP CHEFS, this was insulting to the industry. Still can’t get over it! The decor: poor attempt at a mexican illusion, the rice? Was it Uncle Ben’s? Where were the seasonings? Portion control? Bottom line; hispanic food takes thought, time and consideration to your patrons. Overpriced for a poor attempt. TO THE OWNERS OF THIS ESTABLISHMENT: Travel, study and learn something! Mexican cuisine is more than corn tortillas.
