I ordered the Roast Beef Burrito and my wife ordered the Frank's Combo Plate. The beef in the burrito was pretty good, I wasn't that impressed with the red sauce and the refried beans looked like the surface of the Mojave desert but overall it was OK.\r

Nicoles plate was a different animal altogether. She had chosen the chicken taco over the beef but what she got resembled the glop I wipe up after our cat Isis loses a hairball. She wouldnt touch it and we wondered how many days they let it stew in the vat out back. We werent sure if her beans and rice were coming on a separate plate or what. The ENTIRE plate was covered in a bland green chile goo, covering up things with even less taste beneath. But trying to locate where exactly things were was an effort . It was just a big platter of muck. Eventually the rice was discovered; when the plate was being scooped into a to-go box bound for the dumpster. As for the enchilada, what she was able to discern was alright, the chile relleno was alright. Overall the meal was something you'd expect from Swanson's.\r

It seemed like the place was living off of a reputation that was established long ago and was now praised by people who have never tasted freshly prepared, home style mexican food before. I pity the fools.\r

I had made it to just outside the front door when my bowels began to rumble. Luckily we live pretty close and made it home before things got ugly. I could have gone back in and used the restroom there, the idea of going back in and facing the questioning eyes of the greeter was not to be discounted, but I decided that if I was to never step inside those doors again, now would be a good time to start.
Pros: I never have to go there again
Cons: lousy food that should be avoided,
