I’ve been to many Mexican restaurants and this place serves the absolute worst Mexican food imaginable. Our party ordered the chicken fajita combo, the chicken enchilada combo, and the carne asade plate. What we were served was an excessively salty, paltry portion of chicken cubes and green peppers, chicken tacos which included bones hidden away in the meat, and a thin slice of salted beef jerky with a salad. I do not exaggerate one bit. And, each order was $7.50.

The restaurant is located across the street from St. Vincent’s hospital which probably accounts for its meritlessly exorbitant prices — milking the physicians and hospital staff for their worth. How ridiculous that anyone should pay nearly $8.00 for refried beans, tasteless Spanish rice, and chicken bones to choke on, let alone an entre one did not order.

Furthermore, as a response to the growing popularity of Mexican food amongst non-Latin Americans, eateries are raising their prices to greater than $1.25 for a taco consisting of two hand-sized pieces of tortilla around cheap grade meat, onions, and cilantro and to greater than $4.00 for a burrito the size of your fist. My dear southern friends, let me remind you that the appeal of your comida was in its cheap tastiness. I hope the Mexican craze expires and you are left with nothing but patrons you have alienated with your belief that a taco or burrito is anything more than a simple, cheap treat.
