"To make matters worse, they charge for chips and salsa, serving a small amount of watery salsa with a somewhat generous bowl of unsalted chips for $3.75. When our chips were refilled, the waiter didn’t bring any additional salsa, despite us needing more; instead, he handed me a bottle of hot sauce for my taco. Who charges for chips and salsa at a Mexican restaurant? Though the food was decent, the place is just a dingy, casual spot, so I don’t understand why my meal was so overpriced. The rice and beans were also minimal—every other Mexican restaurant I’ve been to serves generous portions, but here the servings were exact. I would have loved to make this place a regular stop, but I left feeling cheated. Even a glass of soda costs about $4! I guess this is just the way things are these days, but for $28.99, chips and salsa should be complimentary, and the rice and beans should fill the plate. If I had noticed the inflated prices on the menu, I would have definitely chosen something else, but I assumed the prices would be in line with typical Mexican restaurants across the U.S. for a three-item combo meal."

The Parillada is meant to include chicken, beef, shrimp, and sausages. However, we’ve noticed that something has been missing lately. Once, the shrimp was left out when we ordered for takeout, so we didn’t mention it then. On two or three other occasions, it was the sausage that was missing. I didn’t think it was a major issue and assumed they must have run out, so we didn’t bring it up until now. I recently discovered that my daughter’s favorite is the sausage, and she’s not pleased when it’s omitted. I’ll be sure to check if they have all the meats available next time before we order.

When a staff member finally took my order and told me the total, I was a bit taken aback. I understand that prices have risen due to inflation, but it felt quite expensive compared to other places, especially since I ordered a small plate, not even a regular size. Nonetheless, I remained hopeful that the food would justify the cost, so I went ahead and paid. I was then informed it would take over 20 minutes for my order to be ready. I told myself that good things come to those who wait. Finally, when I received my Chicken Chimichanga plate and drove home, I was sadly disappointed. The chimichanga was pretty underwhelming; the chicken filling seemed off, almost spoiled. The refried beans we...
