As a Texan living in Italy, it's safe to say I miss Mexican food. While El Centenario is certainly no Tex Mex, it is a pretty good substitute!
They start you off with complementary chips and salsa, although the chips are not made in house. Salsa was a bit small, it would be nice if they gave you each a container per person! We got the half liter of frozen sangria which was tasty. We got a quesadilla with ground beef and cheese to start, the meat was super flavorful and I really liked it. It came with a sad tostada that had salad with super bland dressing and a couple olives. The tostada left a lot to be desired and we didn't wind up eating it. They need a proper tostada with beans, fresh lettuce, tomato, olive and cheese!
For our entrees, I got the enchiladas which had steak, cheese and potatoes with a bit of salsa/red sauce and cheese melted on top. I've never had enchiladas with potatoes inside so found it a bit odd but overall I really liked them. It came with 3. I think it would be great if they just served 2, but added some beans and rice. If you want rice and beans, you need to order them a la carte. My husband got the Durango chicken which was smothered in cheese and served with green beans and rice. I tried it and thought it was pretty good!
Overall, this has been my favorite Mexican food we have tried in Turin and I would return! I saw a lot of items on their menu that sounded appealing. Strangely, both tables on either side of us ordered burgers? So although it is a Mexican restaurant, the burgers seem popular and perhaps worth a try, haha! read more
