After 12 days in Europe these Californians were sorely missing Mexican food. We'd spent a week with…read morefamily friends in Germany and about 5 days in Paris. While we ate and enjoyed the local culture we all wanted something with a little more spice. Our daughter was the one to find Fajitas. It's a great find in the Latin Quarter where we stayed. The chips and salsa were actually some of the best we've had even in California. We all ordered enchiladas - chicken mole enchiladas and my husband had regular chicken. Mole enchiladas are my daughter's favorite and there's one place at home which makes them to perfection. She said these were very close to her favorites. We've covered the food which was AH-mazing - your tastebuds will not go wrong here. The service was really delightful. Our server was friendly, helpful, and attentive. Also, I have to give all of the servers +10 XP because in Paris almost every store, restaurant, etc. is multi-story. Where we were seated to dine was one floor down from the main street. The way down.... a rather long metal spiral staircase. I can't even walk two feet without tripping on a piece of dust. I don't know how these servers make it all the way down a narrow spiral staircase with hot plates of food. We still think fondly of our meal that night and should we return to Paris, we'll be certain to stop by for comida.

This is possibly the worst Mexican food in Paris as well as the worst margarita anywhere. A…read moremargarita from a can would have tasted better. The owner was neither rude nor friendly but tired and inattentive.

I appreciated that the tortillas were handmade however they weren't as dense as I'm used to. Overall the flavors were very authentic. I'm from Los Angeles so I feel like I make a solid taco critic.

Ok, I have to confess that, after 10 days in Paris eating complex, rich, wonderful food, i was…read moreready for a hamburger. Do you hate me for that? I mean, I know it's Paris. How could I muck up the works with a friggin Hamburger? I don't know why or what came over me. I was just ready for something, well, basic. Little did I know what was in store! We came upon this place whilst simply strolling (as one does in Paris) near the Bastille. The place looked good (whatever that means), so we gave it a try. The main attraction, if you must know, was this gorgeous, gleaming burger-and-fries on a plate that somebody ordered as we were walking by. Between that and my burger craving, I knew I had to try it. So all four of us ordered a burger. a couple were "cheeseburgers" (because it sounded weird to say that in French). They came to the table and were just as glistening and gleaming as they were on the stranger's table where had first seen them. Our waitress was a lovely girl from Iceland. In France, nobody will speak English to you (or they will and then curse behind their back), so we had been getting along fine with our "fairly conversational" French. Well, this girl picked up our probably lousy accent and jumped right into English, explaining that she had been dying to practice it. She had come to Paris to work and go to school, and she made the experience even nicer. In Paris they don't just throw a frozen patty on the grill. Nope, this was freshly-ground sirloin or mignon, hand-formed and cooked to absolute perfection. It was almost transcendental to take that first bite: while I knew this WAS a hamburger, it didn't taste like the drivel from Carl's or In-and-Out. This was prime beef, fresh and perfect. The cheese was typical French: fresh and full of flavor and bite. No American cheese here- thank heavens. Big ol honkin' buns, with lettuce, pickles and tomatoes on the side. A quick word about the produce in France: Forget what you've tasted. The produce in other countries tastes amazing. You know how tomatoes don't have much flavor? Well, they do everywhere else! So THAT'S what tomatoes are supposed to taste like! (the bulb went on). That added to the wonderful flavors mingling in our mouths like star-crossed lovers in an orgy of taste bud nirvana. They topped this whole conflaguration with this velveeta-like stuff they termed "cheese fondue." Ok. But it worked! Great burger. Different than here, but just amazing. One final word about the pommes-frites (french fries). French fries in France are to die for. I don't know how or why, but they are. You're just going to have to believe me on that one. I could eat these all day long. They're light, delicate, rich, potatoe-y, salty, thick, crunchy, soft, oily, flavorful, yummy creations from heaven. This place hit it on all counts. What a great accident. If you're in Paris and need a burger fix, get yourself over here pronto. It's right across from the Bastille monument. Can't miss it. Thanks for the memories!

Terrible. Terrible and crazy expensive. Think high priced TGI Fridays for Paris. You probably…read moreshould have an idea when they decide to name their place after the most boring and ugly state in the US that is 1800 miles from Texas (where Tex Mex is from). There is nothing Brooklyn about this place, there is nothing Tex Mex about this place. We stopped in for a cold beer as we were walking around on Day 1. We ordered 4 pints of beer that were all on draft and nothing crazy (Edelweiss and Desperado). We got a second round. 2 beers for 4 people. 75 Euro. Really? It is now Day 8 and we constantly joke about how much that place was ridiculous. (Sure we had a fabulous 3 course meal with a bottle of wine for 3 people at Express De Lyon but why do that when you can get 8 beers at Indiana). Avoid... there is much better options for everything they have. Trust me.

THE FOOD ----------------…read more+ Breakfast buffet had a solid variety of foods and enough to satisfy everyone - scrambled eggs, bacon, chicken sausage, baked beans, mickey-shaped waffles, pound cake slices, plain yogurt, cereals, chocolate croissants, plain croissants, white bread, jams, maple syrup, nutella packets, cold cuts, cheese slices, fruit cocktail, pineapple slices, orange slices, pre-packaged apple sauces, apple juice, orange juice, coffee machines, milk machines and I'm probably missing something else, but you get it - plennnnnty to choose from. THE SERVICE ------------------- - The employees aren't really active in clearing dirty plates and cups from occupied tables, so you have to clear your table on your own if it becomes too crowded. They only clear the tables once you're done. THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------- + Breakfast is at the La Cantina restaurant located towards the back of the main building where the reception is. + Interior space of the restaurant is like a cave and hugggeeeeeee. It might be the largest restaurant I've ever seen on a single floor. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = During breakfast, it absolutely gets crazy crowded and busy. A line will form everyday at the front, but don't fret as there is more than enough space to accommodate everyone, so you will definitely be seated when you arrive.

Ironically, the restaurant that we chose, El Guacamole, was a five minute walk from our hotel. Although the inside and outside seating of the restaurant was quite busy, an employee was able to quickly seat us at an indoor community bench that had just become available. We placed orders for the following: Frozen Margarita (wife), Frozen Passion Fruit Margarita (myself), Nachos Con Queso, Choriqueso Quesadilla (wife), and Deshebrada de Res Burrito (myself). The delicious drinks arrived five minutes later and the food arrived in less than 15 minutes. The Nachos Con Queso was a delicious starter that we shared and set the expectations for what I thought would be a good overall meal. Unfortunately, this was not the case. Respectfully, the food lacked flavor. My burrito probably would have been good if served with sauce, same with my wife's quesadilla. We both used the remaining sauce from the Nachos Con Queso to add the desired flavor. Knowing that we had to doctor up our own food, I cannot give a positive review in good faith. We reside in California where the bar is set pretty high for good, authentic Mexican food. Therefore, maybe I should have lowered my expectations for Mexican food in Paris. This review is solely my opinion of our experience, I suggest trying the restaurant for yourself to form your own opinion.
