Not authentic Mexican food. Food is very very sad. The service wasn't bad, and the ambiance was ok. The food was another story, it was beyond disappointing. Refried beans taste like canned beans topped with cheese and the rice is disgusting. The seasoning is by far Mexican. It is just bland chicken no peppers or onion whatsoever. Save yourself the pain. Such waste of money. It pains me having to throw that food to waste but first couple of bites made my stomach nauseous. Wont eve feed it to my dog! My go to restaurant on main street Hyannis was closed today so opted after 10 years on the cape To finally stop by and try their food, i regret it a thousand times! Below a picture of what i order: Refried beans, rice and chicken fajita, which is not really chicken fajita! No peppers or onion whatsoever! read more

Sam Diego's - a meal in a plastic container - Mexican Near Me - Hyannis, Massachusetts

The service here is always pretty good the staff is friendly and helpful they can be a bit slow. The cleanliness of the restaurant is decent it could be improved though. The taco bar is so much fun it's my favorite part of coming here. The fried ice cream is really good. This is a good affordable family friendly restaurant. read more

I've been coming to the cape pretty regularly since the spring of 2016. I've had multiple people tell me about SD's. I *finally* made the trip last night. What is concerning to me is a few things. A) we arrived before 4PM and the place was dead/slow. Service was mediocre. I would feel as though since there were so few customers, our server would have been more attentive. After they dropped off the boxes for us to wrap up our leftovers (That I was giving to my dog), it took over 15 minutes for the server to come back and ask us if we wanted dessert... nope, just the check. Would have been nice to have had that question asked when the Togo boxes were dropped. B) I ordered the Dos Burros. I've been to Taco Bell only a handful of times, but the beef burrito I had was abysmal and I would have rather have had Taco Bell instead. I'm wondering if the Chile con queso was blow torched - because there were parts of it that were VERY burnt. Also, looked like a slice of cheese was put on it... it definitely didn't look fresh. (Although, if you read reviews on different websites, the owners definitely comment and assure you things are all made fresh in house). I had one bite of the chicken burrito- and stopped immediately. It was all fat. It was also tasteless, and very greasy. I've had better at public school lunch. C) Concerning about how much sauce was doused on the quarter rack of baby back ribs. Old ribs? What is trying to be hidden? Also, the sauced used heavily reminded me of a spruced up ketchup. Nothing BBQ-Esque. D) having worked in the industry for over 1/2 my life, somethings draw more attention to then others. My plate was warm/hot to the touch. But the company I had - their plate was BEYOND hot. I wonder how long their food sat in the window under heat lamps before my meal was ready/prepared. E) honestly, the only redeeming part of my meal was the rice. But I'm assuming it's boxed/pre made, just because of how it was levels better above the other food I eat. I will NOT be coming back to Sam's. Which is unfortunate due to the proximity of it to me. Please consider other options if you're looking for good Mexican food. Because Sam's drops the ball on many fronts. (Cross-posted) read more

WTAF? What a ridiculous experience we had there last night. Ordered some cheese enchiladas for my vegetarian daughter, and just a drink and dessert for us. The drink and dessert arrived fairly quickly. The drink was a non alcoholic mango thing that was sickly sweet and I couldn't finish. The dessert was ok. Then we waited and waited and waited for our daughter's entree- and it kept not arriving. We watched people who were seated after us get their dinners, etc. Eventually the waitress came by and stated that our daughter's entree' had been delivered to the "wrong table" (I should mention here that the place was far from crowded). Waitress was sweet and apologetic so we waited some more. Finally, after a very long time, we asked the waitress to just pack it up so we could leave- she finally gave us our entree' and it was meat- instead of a cheese enchilada we got a beef enchilada. Our daughter had taken a bite of what she thought was a part with beans and got a mouthful of meat. Very upset. Told waitress (again, sweet and apologetic- told us we wouldn't be charged) She went to get someone to talk to us and again we waited and waited- finally gave up and walked out the door. WTAF? read more

My favorite Tex-Mex restaurant which we have gone to for decades when on the Cape. Always great food, drinks, and ambience!

My husband and I went there for a drink and some tacos in the back bar. The bartender Brenna was the most disrespectful and ignorant person I have come across in years. She would walk by us with us holding empty bottles and she kept walking. We will absolutely never come back to a place that we have been coming for so many years. I've worked in the industry for almost 20 years. She is not doing your business any good with her ignorance and attitude! read more

So 2 stars for the atmosphere, staff & service only. 0 for the FOOD. I have been here a dozen times & I have tried a variety of things. The chips & salsa are passable. Barely. But that's it. I just don't understand the food that comes out of the kitchen. It's not at all palatable. It's basically reheated hospital cafeteria food. Processed Cosco food. The chicken & pork is consistently grey, poor quality & tastes off. The salsa, & sauces are canned. I would never dare order the seafood. It is likely everything is processed frozen from Cosco distributor. The only fresh items are the shredded lettuce, shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, onions they use as a garnish. I have NEVER once seen anybody finish their plate and request a doggie bag. NOT ONCE. Most of the staff don't even eat here. With all the emphasis on clean eating etc, this place is still living in the Middle Ages. Mexican is not a complicated cuisine unless you are doing mole. For the most part, It is a matter of procuring & prepping fresh quality ingredients & then incorporating it in your recipes. And this place is completely lacking in that. This place has a friendly, convivial vibe & is quite large with several front, middle & back dining areas. They have 3 bar areas too which is nice. There's flat screen tv's in s the bar areas which play mostly televised national sports events. The music is classic rock usually & at a good background level. Not too loud to encourage conversation. I always sit at the bar & the staff & service has always been VERY Good. They are polite, friendly, helpful & efficient. I never order anything now but a bottled beer, and chips & salsa. The multitude of margaritas are often made with Sprite and/or sour mix which is wrong. I believe this is owned by a Family. Regardless, both they & their Mgmt need to to STEP UP & completely rethink & re-do the food here. It's not okay for the kitchen to be serving this poor quality food. Give the kitchen staff fresh quality ingredients & right techniques to prepare good quality Mexican food & you will be rewarded handsomely in both employee morale & customer feedback & loyalty. Your business should reflect your passion & integrity. I don't see any evidence of this by the Owner, Mgmt, or Kitchen here which is really unfortunate..... read more

Sam Diego's - Food is okay. I would stick with drinks & chips n salsa. - Mexican Near Me - Hyannis, Massachusetts

I go to Sam Diego's with my dance team every year we're in cape cod for nationals and it never disappoints. Every year we ask for a table for like 14 people and they're always so nice and get the food out in less than 30 mins for the whole table. Even though the restaurant may get packed at night on the weekends and there is a no reservation policy, i've always gotten a table quickly. 5-10 mins is the longest my group has waited for a table throughout the years we've been coming here and we sat in the little waiting room they have off to the side in the entrance. read more

Sam Diego's - this years trip to sam diego's - Mexican Near Me - Hyannis, Massachusetts

Tasty, reliable Tex-Mex. Definitely NOT super-authentic Mexican food - and that is, in many ways, a GOOD thing. Because it most definitely IS authentic Tex-Mex - and nothing encompasses this better than Sam's Classic Nachos. Arriving on a piping-hot plate of melted cheese, refried beans, and jalapeños are a delightful melange of toothsome Tex-Mex yummyness! The plate of melted cheese & beans is garnished with a ring of classic tortilla chips(don't worry, they give you extra chips) & adds up to a work of culinary nirvana, a work of Tex-Mex magic!! Nowadays, places like Sam Diego's are unfortunately too hard to find. Replaced with overpriced, trendy restaurants boasting of authentic & "real" Mexican cuisine - these places are often double the price, and their food doesn't taste half as good as the food coming out of the kitchen at Sam Diego's. To the kitchen staff at Sam Diego's Hyannis, you guys are crushing it!! And to my mind, you all deserve a raise for consistently putting out works of Tex-Mex masterpieces to grateful diners. So kudos to you my friends!! And thank you. What else? Oh. I gotta tell ya, if we could do some sorta anonymous "Pepsi Challenge"-type competition, Tex-Mex style, I've no doubt Sam Diego's would absolutely CRUSH the competition. Even the fancier places, too. You won't find better Tex-Mex cuisine anywhere on Cape Cod. So if you're craving some gooey Nachos, Chicken Fajitas, or a well-made margarita, Sam's is pretty much perfection. One small note: you can add shredded chicken(they'll ask)to the Nachos if you want. Personally though, I'd advise against it. In this case, less is more; of course, if you're looking to add extra protein for health reasons, or wanna make the Nachos your full meal, then adding some shredded meat might make sense. But I've tried the nachos with chicken & without, and I have to say, I think the regular nachos, without the chicken, are better. Keep it simple - the flavors already work so well together they don't need anythingelse. But again, if you REALLY wanna add Shredded Chicken(I think they offer Shredded Beef too), the Nachos will still be good. I just don't think they are quite as good. That's all. And again, it's only my opinion. But if you're looking for a chill environment with excellent food, then definitely get yourself to Sam's!! You won't be disappointed provided your expectations aren't too too high. I'm not necessarily a big drinker(although I will on occasion), I do know they make a good margarita that'll get you where you wanna go, so to speak . When you walk in, there's a large bar just past the host stand, along with some tables & chairs. But my favorite bar is towards the end of the restaurant, past the dining room. It has more seats & is brighter. Also, you don't have a ton of foot traffic like you do at the front bar. But both of these options make Sam's a comfortable place for anyone dining alone, which I know for me can sometimes be awkward & anxiety inducing. The way Sam's is set-up makes for a comfortable environment for those who are dining alone. So if you're by yourself & keen to get outta the house, then head to Sam's. You'll enjoy some solid Tex-Mex food for reasonable $$$$, and the bartenders are always friendly & happy to have you there. One final note - and the servers/bartenders will likely wanna lay me to waste for this advice, but I'm gonna say it anyways - don't pay extra for the "good" tequila if you're drinking margaritas. The house tequila, no matter how inexpensive, is still tequila, and unless they're making the mixers in-house with muddled limes & regular sugar, the type of tequila doesn't really matter if you're using a cheap mixer. Also, this is not to say Sam's margaritas are sub-par by any means. I actually like them a lot!! I'm just trying to give good advice on how to save a little extra loot. Now, if you're doing shots of tequila, then DEFINITELY spring for the Espolon or Patron. If you do a blanco, like Patron, ask the bartenders for a splash of lime in with the Patron, then have them shake it vigorously with the lime juice over ice. This will make it as smooth as can be. For what it's worth, I've worked in the restaurant industry for over a decade, and actually HAD to learn this stuff; hopefully this translates to decent advice & a fun night out!! Also, for what it's worth, my only motivation in writing this is to offer an unbiased opinion of one of my favorite restaurants since I was a little kid. And hopefully offer a bit of guidance that will lead would-be diners to a fun night out!! Happy eating & drinking my friends!! Recommended Dishes: Nachos w/ Guacamole Chicken Fajitas BabyBack Ribs Cheese Enchilada Most of the Combo Plates are good too, especially if you're hungry!! (but there are many more...) PS - While I don't have kids myself, to me, this restaurant is very kid-friendly read more

Sam Diego's is the place for Taco Tuesday's or any other day you want a great meal! The staff are very friendly and the food is great! Sam Diego's has a nice homey feel to it for being on RT132 in Hyannis. I definitely recommend it to all! read more

Sam Diego's - Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Hyannis, Massachusetts

On a weekend trip to Cape and managed to find this spot. If you want Mexican, keep looking because this isn't a quarter of what Mexican is. This restaurant is a facade, a bunch of decor and dish names to play the part but if you pay close attention, that is really all that is Mexican about it. I got steak tacos, and not Carne Asada that you would at a Mexican restaurant. For three dishes it came to 47 dollars. They are robbing people for sh** food. I write this so others don't have to waste their money and have a bad experience, whether it be on a trip or trying something new. read more

If you like chicken tenders come here but they are not really good, and it is racist af. I also almost threw up when I got home.

Drinks were good food was horrendous. When you think of fajitas you think of hot sizzling plates. Not here they gave you sliced chicken not real chicken no peppers, onions. Great service she was the goat. Rating is based off food. read more

Sam Diego's - This was the chicken fajitas. Literally Purdue chicken from Stop & Shop. - Mexican Near Me - Hyannis, Massachusetts

Take one part Cracker Barrel, one part South of the Border, add a pinch of cayenne- and you have Sam Diego's. Western beige and turquoise dominate the paintjob, but the overwhelming feature you see upon entering the gigantic restaurant is the western memorabilia. Every Western visual cliché known to man is hanging from the walls- boots, sombreros, saddles, longhorn skulls, spurs, lariats, covered wagons, iguanas, cactus, etc. Sam is a full service restaurant with a huge bar. They boast over 20 appetizers with the usual suspects -chili, fries, rings, ribs, wings, cheese, pizza, etc. They also have pizzas, sandwiches, hamburgers, and of course Mexican dishes. Tacos, burritos, chimichangas, quesadillas, combo plates, fajitas, and specialties. Most things are under $15. They offer a pretty nice Lunch Special- for $6.95 it's an all you can eat Chili, soup, & taco bar special - offered at a pretty nice time frame from 11:30 -3:00. We went there for lunch on a Wednesday, arriving at 1:30. They have two entrances (front and back) and since we parked in the back, we used the back entrance, stopped at the hostess stand, and waited. And waited. And waited. Finally a bus boy asked if were waiting to be seated, and if we were, we needed to go to the front of the store and wait at THAT hostess stand. After relocating to the front, we were seated and served chips and salsa - Two chip baskets and 2 salsa bowls for 3 people! The chips were more than pretty good, warm and a little thicker than normal. The salsa was very chunky with tomato cubes and mildly spiced. All three of us went for the Taco bar, which was quite good. Three soup choices, a pretty good chili, and the taco shells and fixings- ground beef, tomato, onion, jalapenos, cheese, pico, sour cream, etc. They also had Mexican slaw and pasta salad. I wasn't' expecting much in the quality department, but this exceeded my expectations. The service was minimally efficient, and the word perfunctory comes to mind. No personality. No chitchat. No refill offers on the iced tea. Minimal effort. Our lunch ran under $30 - quite a nice deal read more

Sam Diego's - Skinny Margarita - Mexican Near Me - Hyannis, Massachusetts

the server James was very short and to point (unfriendly) which I can understand. He just wants to flip tables I guess. Granted they were slow! We order a burrito (old henry or something) and the tex mex combo trying to get a good combination of food but it was all a epic fail. The salsa was flavorless and the chips as well. Both entrees were a flavor disaster. The ground beef, the enchiladas, the burrito all of it was not hitt'in on anything. the server seen we to took a bite out of the food and didn't ask what was wrong. Took the plates and didn't seem to care if we were happy or not. We had to bring it to his attention since it was apparent by the fact we didn't touch our plates. overall all around the board this was a very bad experience food wise. read more

as most locals know, there aren't too many Mexican cuisine options on the cape. This is by far the most well known which is sad because it is far from authentic and overall, plain average. Over the years, I have tried many things off the menu and not many things stand out. I do like a few of the appetizers; the buffalo chicken and the cheese crisps. The queso and chips are also good! The food overall is very Americanized. It never truly satisfies the mexican food craving. My favorite thing here is the blended Lime in the Coconut margarita! It never disappoints. read more

How has this place been around so long? I made the unfortunate mistake of deciding to go to Sam Diegos while staying on the Cape one afternoon. I didn't realize it was possible to make Mexican food taste so terrible. The atmosphere and decor aren't bad. It looks clean and festive and there was a nice outdoor sitting area. You can almost ignore the traffic and imagine you're someplace Mexican. Out waitress was friendly and brought us what we needed. But the service was slow. It wasn't very busy, but she would just disappear for a while and eventually show up later. We got margaritas and they were OK. Not the strongest drinks I've had, but also not the weakest. Certainly not the cheapest. The food was terrible. The free chips were probably the best part of the whole meal. The problem though was that the salsa is basically tomato sauce with some spice. My party shared some "nachoes". Wow fo I wish I had taken a picture. Seriously, look for a picture of their ridiculous nachoes. It was literally 12 chips around the outside of a plate with a what seemed like a whole can of refried beans covered in melted Kraft shredded cheese in the middle. It was disgusting. I got a taco salad. I don't understand how a taco salad could be so terrible. The shell was stale and things were just thrown on without being cut. And there was hardly any flavor aside from the huge peppers thrown on top. In fairness to those peppers though, they made the meal edible. Added some much needed spice and flavor. My recommendation for this place is just go for drinks and the free chips. If you want an actual meal, youre better off going somewhere else. Your digestive system will thank you for it later. read more

Sam Diego's - Believe it or not, this is a taco salad. - Mexican Near Me - Hyannis, Massachusetts

We tried Sam Diegos this evening, and we're very disappointed. The restaurant was crowded so you'd think the food and service were great. We started with guacamole, which clearly came from a jar, and the mozzarella sticks that were definitely frozen. I had the Old Henry's beef burrito, and my wife had the steak tacos. The steak was good, but the rest of the taco was pretty bad. My dish was tasteless, and the rice had no flavor at all. The service was.mediocre as our waitress was attending to far too many tables to provide good service to any of them. Overall, our experience was pretty negative, and we won't be returning read more

A good "go to" place. Margaritas are good, Michelle the bartender is the BEST! Good food and great meeting place.

I used to go there for lunch before pandemic and food was great ! and last month I went there with friends of mine and everything is still same read more

I've been going to San Diego's for as long as I can remember & then we stopped going for a while. Recently, my mother and I had lunch and it was very good. Last week I brought my wife and we had dinner. My wife enjoyed a margarita that was on special and I had a 19 ounce beer along with the fajita burrito! They always put out free chips and salsa which were delicious... But I have to say my burrito was just OK and the chicken was not hot. That night I had the worst stomach pain that I've ever had in my life and I attribute it to something going on with the food that I ate. Against my better judgment we went back to Sam's tonight, and I think it's gonna be a while before we go back. I love the atmosphere, the service is fantastic. The drinks are delicious and reasonable. But the food is really just OK. I wish they would step up their game or they won't be around for another 40 years. read more

The service was wonderful. Our waiter attended to all of our needs. The main course was mediocre but as soon as you a seated they bring out chips and salsa but what especially surprised me was the dessert. 7 of us shared a fried ice cream and IT WAS THE BEST ICE CRREAM IVE EVER HAD. One of us ordered churros and the ratio of dough to cinnamon was AMAZING. As a so called "Karen" the only reason I would need to request a manager would be to thank their service. Thanks Sam Diego, we wont be gone for long! read more

Excellent drinks and food. Even the chips and salsa were great. Excellent service by our waitress Briana. Checked back with us several times after our food arrived to make sure we were all set. Will definitely visit again. read more

If you are looking for authentic this is not your place. I ordered the beef burrito and it came to me in a plate deconstructed. Shredded beef was piled on the plate and a tortilla draped over it. The fixings and beans were all on the side. I prefer my burritos fully assembled to where I can pick it up and eat it using my hands. The only reason why this places gets 3 stars from me is their fried icecream. It is to die for. It's fairly big, with hot fudge, whip cream and a cherry. I would go back just for the fried icecream. read more

A good menu. Nice atmosphere. The amount of food (At least what I ordered) was pretty small. They do give you chips and salsa for free though, which is a nice trade off. The wait staff seems pretty un organized and in a panic. I came here for a post funeral service get together, and the staff got flustered in a hurry. It was noticeable. Overall - Good food, sub par service. I'd try it again though. read more

Sam Diego's - Short rib tacos - Mexican Near Me - Hyannis, Massachusetts

Was there while getting tires changed down the road. While there, I was super impressed by the ambiance and wait staff. The food, however, was unforgivable. We decided to start with the nachos and had to end it there. It was essentially refried beans with chips placed around the perimeter of the plate with cheese on top and thrown in the microwave. The tips of the chips that were dipped in was soggy. Also, the guacamole was store bought and served via an ice cream scooper. Any decent Mexican restaurant needs good guac at a minimum. While I love to reward a great wait staff and ambiance, the food was too much to overcome. Price: $/5 Ambiance: 8.1/10 Staff: 8.3/10 Drinks: N/A Food: 0.5/10 read more

We appreciated that they were one of the only decent restaurants in Hyannis. They were open late, the staff was so kind and we appreciated their food. The steak tacos were huge! The food isnt anything spectacular but we thought it was all good for what it was. Big and good margaritas. Seems like a staple in the area. read more

Never had a bad meal here. Good quality food and good service. Authentic enjoyable ambiance. Wish they were closer to home in NY. Can only go when we go to Cape Cod 2x per year read more

I came here as a kid and had memories of it being fairly decent mainly because I hadn't been off Cape yet for Mexican food. We went tonight because we were desperate for Mexican. I ordered fajitas and the first thing I noticed were that the tortillas came out ice cold and they ripped apart easier than the most generic grocery store brand. At most Mexican restaurants you would expect the fajitas to come out on a sizzling cast iron skillet with the meat surrounded with peppers and onions. Definitely not the case here. The meat was resting on top of the rice just sitting there lifelessly with some vegetables that also might have come from a bad grocery store salad kit. No peppers, no onions sizzling next to the meat. I started thinking this might have been some sort of pre-made fajita kit that they order from somewhere that is designed to be microwaved. If airlines ever serve fajitas one day, I would imagine they would go with this concept. The service was pretty poor as for some reason our server had to walk 5 minutes across the restaurant to check on her other tables. Who makes sections like that? Lastly - there were no sort of home made / authentic hot sauces like one would get at a normal Mexican restaurant. Not even Cholula or Tapatio. Instead it was different Tobasco sauces. Just Tobasco folks. Lotta things wrong - but hey the drinks were good (there my one positive)! If you are visiting the Cape and expecting good Mexican food I would give this place a hard pass. If you live here and don't get off Cape much well best of luck buddy not sure what your other options you might have. read more

I enjoyed my meal with friends one Saturday night of Easter weekend. We had to rush because we had to get to a concert. After dinner, when we got back to concert venue, I realized I'd left my purse at restaurant. Frantically called twice and was told that they looked and hadn't seen it. My friend drove all the way back to restaurant to try and find it somehow, with fingers crossed. They did have it. That was good! When I opened it up, what cash I'd had was gone. Nothing else missing. read more

I came years earlier and had a good experience, but I attribute it to my immature taste buds. I was a bit hesitant to come back because of the bad multiple reviews. It was a risk. And the risk didn't pay off. It was more of a step above Taco Bell than a true Mexican spot. And there are other Mexican places that recd 4-5 stars in Hyannis. We got their special $7.95 lunch special - it was a good deal, it's the only thing that kept them from sinking to 1 star. The food was fine, their chili was decent. It reminded me of grabbing something from the freezer for a Friday night Taco movie time with the family. The entire staff (from what I could see) were Americans - hmmm, Sam Diego - change up your name to American/ Mexican/ Tex Mex - stay true to what you are serving. read more

Sam Diego's - Decent lunch price - Mexican Near Me - Hyannis, Massachusetts

Oh Sam's. I can never say no to you. You're the perfect combination of super unhealthy food with amazingly perfect enormous drinks that keeps me coming back for more. I've probably been here a hundred times in my life. I'm required to give you 5 stars on that basis alone. You're the one I can always turn to and rely on. No matter what group of friends I'm with, you always fit in perfectly. Food: Free chips and salsa are addicting. Mix the salsa with ranch dressing for happiness in your mouth. Habanero wings. Yum. Get them. I always call them something incorrect like jalapeno wings but, the waitress will know what you mean. Pulled pork is great, and the sandwich is huge. Quesadillas are decent, though its annoying they don't come with anything. Fries are plump and crispy, never greasy. I dislike their caesar, which is hard to accomplish in my world. The dressing is overpowering and too garlicky (also hard to accomplish in my world.) As for the actual Mexican food... well I don't really like Mexican food that much so I never really order it. Drinks: Lime in the Coconut Mammoth, frozen, keep them coming. They always have something excellent on tap, it's April and they're already pouring Sam Summer. WIN. They also carry a few of the Cape Cod Beers on tap - BEACH BLONDE ALE FOREVER. Back bar vs. front bar: Depends what kind of night you're interested in. I'm not a fan of being sat in the middle of a cavernous room so I avoid it if at all possible. CJ is my favourite. TV's at the bar always have a game on. Back patio for the win. Summertime right there. read more

I should have known from the "Buenos Nachos" awning over the door that I would be in for a treat. In my defense it was creeping up on 5 PM and I hadn't eaten all day. I ordered the standard margarita upgrading the tequila. Ugg. Gross. I was caught making faces while drinking it. It tasted like margarita flavored syrup which I'm pretty sure it was. In any case, I've had better marg mixes from the grocery. What should have been a welcome feature, the huge glass, became a drawback due to the nastiness. But I managed. Thanks to an empty stomach the thing went to my head which I'm assuming is the only reason I finished dinner. The chips were stale (some at least) and wicked salty. The salsa was Pace I believe. Again, starving...ate them. The sweet potato fries I stole from Roomie were good but the accompanying chipotle sour cream completely missed the mark. It was plain sour cream but red. I had an enchilada and a Sam's burrito. The enchilada was incinerated under a broiler and just tasted sauce and cheese with lettuce. What happened to the tortilla I don't know. The burrito was entombed in cheese sauce and managed to be both salty and bland. When mixed with the red rice it was a'ight-ish. Obviously I didn't expect an authentic Mexican meal down the cape. However, I do expect a meal that doesn't leave me in physical pain for several hours after. In the end I really wish I had gone to The Olive Garden down the road. (You know something's wrong when you're final thought is "I should have gone to The Olive Garden") read more
