There seems to be a new genre of food that interests us from time to time. Between the wife and I, it is casually referred to as “shitty Mexican food” and sometimes it’s what’s for dinner.
Let’s face it, the vast majority of what’s available in this area falls into this category. Generally speaking, the Americanized dishes endemic to the suburban strip mall typically define this category and margaritas are damn near mandatory…just like the chips and salsa. If you have any doubts, here’s a quick guide to help the reader discern if it’s shitty or authentic:
If you can order by number – it’s shitty Mexican food.
If the term “Speedy Gonzales” appears anywhere on the menu – it’s shitty Mexican food.
If it’s covered in cheese sauce – it’s shitty Mexican food.
If the patrons in the place are all white and the staff is not – it’s shitty Mexican food.
If you know what you’re going to order before you even look at the menu – it’s probably shitty Mexican food (could go either way…depending on your opinion of tortas).
*Just to be clear…Taco Bell is NOT shitty Mexican food – it’s a few steps lower and is really only suitable for consumption by drunks and college students.
For authentic Mexican food you need to go to a taqueria. We have a number of them in the area and they are very similar to the places in Mexico that I liked the best: devoid of other white people, open-air, very simple menu and family-run.
Now that we’ve got that sorted out, it’s not necessarily a bad thing to crave shitty Mexican food from time to time. This place produced some fully-acceptable shitty Mexican food. I had something from their menu described as two deep fried burritos. One would guess that to be the chimichanga but somehow there was a distinction. I asked for one beef and one chicken. Both were very flavorful and enjoyable…similar to flautas but covered in cheese.
They were out of flan so I can’t offer an opinion other than to say that the shutterstock photo of a dish of flan on their menu looked good.
I got 3 street tacos, steak, pastor, and carniatas. Absolutely delicious!! I would recommend anyone who wants tacos to eat here!
