“Asked for carnitas, server didnt know what that was, she asked the chef who also didnt know what that was
Got fish tacos and chimichanga off the lunch menu(which ends at 4pm btw) they were blasting jesus music so be prepared for that?
fish tacos looked good but they didnt heat up the tortillas so it was doughy, used flour instead of corn tortillas, fish itself had a fishstick reminiscent flavor..so basically fishsticks on cold tortillas with lettuce, pre-shredded cheddar, and red onion?
Chimi was the size of a playing card, had no other ingredients other than meat/tortilla, carnitas are supposed to be cook with onion n peppers otherwise it'll be bland which it was?
If your not of latin descent and have nothing to compare it to, you will probably like it, it was fresh at least and the server was attentive..but if you've had real mexican food you will be disappointed unfortunately?“
