We're always on the search for new local places, and so when I saw this place, I thought we should…read moretry it. Searched reviews, sounded ok. Saw a menu from a couple of years ago, with decent prices... ok, I expect it to be a little higher than a couple of years ago... literally, two years, but... it's way more than that!!
First, the food. Decent. I mean, it wasn't great, but it was good. We'd go again sometime, if not for the prices. We each got enchiladas. Their enchiladas come standard with (cotija?) cheese. We had to order them special to get them with meat. Cost of 3, small (4-5") rolled enchiladas with 4 Tbs of rice and of beans? Over $12.50. Cost to add meat, another $3.50 (most places will charge you $1-$2.50 for the meat). The red sauce was a deep dark tint (not mole, but like toasted dried chiles, almost black), and there wasn't much of it. There wasn't much cheese on our enchiladas, I mean, I could count the strands of shredded cheese (like less than ten each). But there was a generous portion of meat. The beans were ok, the rice had clumps of hard crunchy old uncooked rice in it. The chips were good and seemed housemade. The salsa was really good, if not a bit too sweet, but I'm not complaining.
As mentioned, it's worth going again, but for the steep prices, this was NOT a 4 star restaurant.... Cost of glass of iced soda or tea, over $3. I mean, tea, literally costs about 5 cents per glass. A relleno, plain, no toppings, on the side, $5.50. Overall, with tip it cost us over $50 for two, for a mediocre lunch in an out of the way, hole in the wall place that's barely better than an average food truck. The service was excellent, and the place seemed decently clean and tables/booths solid and not wanky wobbly tables and chairs. So it was comfortable.
