How might one describe the sentiment of this review?
Shame on me for giving this place only 4 Stars when there are NINE TIMES as many 5 Star reviews for it right now! :-O Ok, I was over here in Avondale this morning so I popped in here to see what all the noise is about for this place. It's rather small and & was already roaring busy when I arrived. Let's get the negatives out of the way first: * Yes, super busy. At the time I ordered I would have had to stand up to eat, with all the tables taken. That would have been SO not ok, but just in time one freed up for me. * My usual Mexican restaurant meal consists of a Chile Relleno, a beef taco, beans, rice & chips. That order here would have cost $9.75... too high for that meal at this type of place, so I had to place a different order to receive good value. * The menu selections are strewed around on signs all over the place, making it difficult to see just exactly WHAT meal choices are available and at what prices. * My burrito wasn't exactly "little" at about 2" in diameter, but it was smaller than I usually receive either at a restaurant or from a lunch truck. OK, THE POSITIVES: * The staff was friendly. * You place your order at the counter & they bring it out to you when it's ready. Soon after I set down, a complimentary basket of good tortilla chips arrived, with TERRIFIC pureed red salsa. I'm usually a chunky style salsa person, but not here. Yum! * There's a salsa bar, where some little treats are available to nibble on while you wait for your platter. That's always nice, & only certain Mexican restaurants offer one. * I ordered one of the numerous Daily Specials, which was a Chile Verde Burrito. Besides the chips, it came with small servings of refried beans, Spanish Rice, a little shredded lettuce and help-yourself soft drinks. I added a Carne Asada (street) Taco. * ALL OF THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS! (That's one thing, isn't it?) :-)) Burrito Special ($5.99), Carne Asada Taco ($1.50).
