When I want to chill at a homegrown place with great cheap Mexican food, great atmosphere, and killer cheap margaritas (they also sell a bucket of beers) this is where I go.

For price, value, and authenticity, this is an excellent choice. It was recommended to me by the owner of a Mexican restaurant we frequent as the place to go for sopa de siete mares (soup of the seven seas). I’ll take THAT kind of recommendation any day. It also seems to be very popular with the local Hispanic population, always a good sign when you’re a Mexican restaurant.

With all the awards this place has gotten, I expected a fantastic restaurant. It sucked.

First of all, the waiter apparently had an attitude over us not ordering much (I ordered a burrito; my husband ordered bacon). I heard him offer a drink special to the family next to us I would have jumped at had I known it was available.

Second, for $11.50, I expected God’s gift to burritos. Instead, I received A burrito (smaller than at a lot of places) – that’s it. The green chile has been accurately compared to lobster sauce. It’s lobster sauce with a few green chiles and chicharrones in it – that’s it. The burrito was bland and boring, not to mention HUGELY overpriced.

Give this a MISS!
