Partner got veggie fajitas (love the broccoli in it) and I had a lunch chile relleno. The salsa was fresh and the waters were cold. We arrived on a Saturday at 12:30 and were immediately seated. There's a large weekend staff (sitting next to the kitchen I've clocked at least a dozen people) and there's a large contingent of Latinx folks, always a good sign.

The decor was standard American - Mexican style which seems to be the norm in this style of restaurant. I ordered the Steak quesadilla, which included a side of rice. Our meals were brought to the table with a minimal wait. My Steak quesadilla was a generous portion. I liked that the lettuce and sour cream were on the plate, which allowed me to put the amount I liked inside the quesadilla. Steak strips were plentiful and cooked to my liking. Our server was polite and efficient. The only ding would be outside of the restaurant. The parking lot is surrounded by junked cars, weeds, and a broken concrete pad. Not an inviting site for a good restaurant.

I informed the waiter abd his response was "I'm pretty sure its fresh", as if I was lying and walked away. So I asked to speak to the manager. He came with the same response. I asked him had he checked. He came back and said the head cook said they had just cut the meat today. That doesn't make it fresh! He then said he didn't know what I wanted him to do. Asked if I wanted them to make it over. Not with the same beef. I finally told him to make it over and just leave the beef out. If I get sick from eating bad beef they will hear about it!

Then on the other side of us was the kitchen with a different loud music playing along with someone singing loudly and whistling. I thought a margarita would help but that was lousy. Tasted like a limeade and had regular table salt on the rim. Worst Margarita I've ever had. We both got a taco salad with beef. Very little beef and a lot of soupy beans that made the whole thing just tasteless slop. The pico had no cilantro and too many peppers and not enough tomatoes. The salsa was watery and loaded with black pepper. The service is like Waffle House. Literally yelling at each other across the restaurant. Taco Bell is better!
