Visited a friend, and had a craving for Mexican munchies. We decided to order delivery from a deli…read morenear him that had recently opened. I'm no expert on authentic Mexican food, but I thought that given the location and price, if I lived around here, I would probably order from here all the time.
One of my friends had the milanesa de pollo platter - he received a generous helping of chicken that was crisp and tender, with a side of rice and beans. He indicated that he would have liked a little more seasoning in everything, but we're all sodium fiends so take that with a grain of salt (ha!)
Another friend had a chorizo burrito, I'm not sure whether he enjoyed the burrito itself more - or the fact that it was only 6.99. The burrito was filled with rice, beans, paper thin tomatoes, lettuce, avocado, and sour cream.
I am a tostada addict, and ordered two chorizo tostadas. Going forward, anytime I am in the area, I will DEMAND that someone order these for me. At 2.99 each, two were generous, and they do not skimp on the chorizo! Despite the fact that we had ordered delivery, both were crisp and crunchy by arrival, despite the heaping toppings weighing them down. Each tostada was loaded with beans, lettuce, sour cream, cheese, and avocado.
I have to bring up a few other points that mean a lot to me when ordering delivery:
timing - the food arrived 20 minutes before the estimated delivery time, this means no one has to deal with a hangry Jen (and NO ONE wants to deal with a hangry Jen)
packaging - everything was packed neatly in separate paper bags, and there was zero leakage or shifting, it may not mean much to everyone, but I certainly appreciate when food is packed with care.
service - the guy who dropped off the food was friendly, and thanked us for giving the deli a try
Just the service and the quality of the delivery makes me want to support small businesses like this on a regular basis. So if you're in the area, drop by for a chorizo tostada, and let me know what i'm missing out on from the rest of the deli.
