4 /5 Angelica P. Moore: Honest Review
The Agua de Jamaica was refreshing just needed a little more sugar, but once I added some, it was perfect.
My husband ordered the barbacoa quesadilla, and he really liked it. It was big and filling. He also had the al pastor burrito, but since we’re used to Houston-style burritos, we expected it to come with beans, rice, lettuce, avocado, sour cream, and pico de gallo. Instead, it only had the meat he chose. It felt more like a large flour taco than a traditional burrito it really should be labeled differently on the menu.
I ordered the green chile plate and asked what kind of meat it came with. The waitress said pork, so I expected asado de puerco en salsa verde. But what I got tasted more like brisket or roasted beef with a green sauce. It didn’t taste like pork, and the salsa verde didn’t taste like traditional green tomatillo sauce either. I was disappointed with the entrée, but the beans and rice were really good.
I also asked if the tortillas were homemade, and the waitress said yes. I ordered corn tortillas, but they were clearly packaged and not made in-house.
The chips and salsa were tasty, but the salsa was a bit too spicy for me (even though I’m Mexican, my stomach can’t handle a lot of spice lately). My husband also tried the chile con queso, but it was very clumpy and not enjoyable.
One thing they definitely need to improve is the menu descriptions. Many dishes don’t say what kind of meat they come with, which makes it hard to know what you’re ordering.
We also got three paletas frías (Mexican frozen popsicles) and a bag of Mexican Cheetos, and the total came out to around $39 not too bad for everything we ordered.
