We recently moved here from Ohio where there is a large Mexican population (and thus many yummy Mexican restaurants), but I was pleasantly surprised with Desperados. I had a hankering for good ol' greasy Mexican-American food, and this fit the bill. I had the chimichangas, one with carnitas, green chilis, and rice, and the other with chicken, avocado, and rice. They were both delicious, although greasy (which is the definition of a chimichanga, I suppose). I got the side of rice and beans, and was really pleased to see that they serve black beans instead of refried beans. The carnitas were DELICIOUS, and the chicken was yummy, too- white meat, grilled, decently-sized chunks. The side salad that came with the platter special, though, was definitely worth saving the dollar on. Pass on it- out-of-season tomato, iceberg lettuce, and bland house vinaigrette. Atmosphere-wise, it wasn't all that romantic or thrilling, but a nice family place where you can get some surprisingly good Mexican-American fare. We'll definitely go again! Points off for a crappy side salad, and a big of extra grease that could have been drained off before making it to my plate. read more
