I want to start with the fact that our waitress was very kind and amenable. She made us laugh and catered to all of our needs, which should have been easy anyway considering the restaurant was pretty empty. But let me say that the environment created by the other staff was not friendly. A group of male workers were putting tables together for a large party coming in, and I heard them cuss multiple times while doing so. In what language, you ask? Spanish. I may be white, but I am fluent in Spanish. With no latino-appearing customers, it's my belief that they thought no one understood them. When I told my monolingual fiancé that they were throwing around Spanish equivalents of the F bomb, he was shocked as well. He said he never would have guessed that they were saying that out loud in the dining room. Don't get me wrong, we listen to explicit music and use those words here and there, but there's a time and place for such language. Very unprofessional in my opinion, as it makes me wonder what else they say around customers who look as though they only speak English.

Now let's get to the food. I ordered a beef chimichanga. I believe it was around $14. The portion size did not represent $14 when compared to other Mexican restaurants, so I was a bit unsatisfied with that. Anyway, I asked for an absence of lettuce, sour cream, and tomatoes. It came to me perfectly hot and correct. However, the beef was very dry inside the chimichanga and a bit pink in certain parts. I'm not afraid of pink, but I was not happy with the dryness. Additionally, the beans that came on the side were very thin and flavorless. I wasn't too happy about that, but I just combined mouthfuls of it with the rice, which was average. Overall, the food was a 3/5. It didn't wow me at all, and some parts were unsatisfactory.

In sum, I recommend this restaurant if you are okay with average, non-authentic Mexican food. It didn't wow me, although the lack of courtesy by the male staff did. Feel free to try it out yourself.
