The thing I do want to focus on is the food. Namely, the fact that chips and salsa are NOT free like 99% of Mexican restaurants. Yes it was only $3 but still, it’s the principal. We ordered a margarita pitcher and it was made with WAAAY too much lime juice, even the bartender tasted and agreed after we sent it back. But the waitress handled the situation with professionalism and kindness.
Next, what Mexican restaurant doesn’t include rice AND beans with their meals? Disappointing. The beans were separate and costed extra and when we got them, they were burnt but at this point we just accepted the disappointment. While the rice was included in the meal, it was flavorless and made with no love or soul. As a Mexican from Texas I was very disappointed on the quality of food here.
I don’t think we’ll be returning here for the food.
I ordered the birria egg rolls, and while the egg roll itself was good, the sauce didn’t taste authentic at all. My girlfriend ordered a shrimp taco, and when it arrived, it looked like nothing but lettuce and sauce. I asked the waitress where the shrimp was, and she said, “They’re in there they’re just small.” There were only two tiny shrimp pieces barely enough to call it a taco. Total waste of money, whether it was $3 or $6.
We also ordered the sizzling fajitas with Carne Asada added a $28 meal. It smelled good, but the Carne Asada didn’t taste like Carne Asada at all. It tasted like a plain steak cooked with just salt and pepper. The peppers and onions weren’t even cooked the way traditional Mexican restaurants do them.
Out of curiosity, I asked the waitress if the owner was Mexican she confirmed he wasn’t. That explains everything. This food is far from authentic, and the flavor just isn’t there. Definitely not worth the price.
For the main course, I had the South of the Border Cobb Salad, which was quite good. My friend enjoyed her Taco Salad, but the quesadillas received mixed reviews due to the use of ground beef instead of traditionally chopped beef.
The restaurant itself is clean and nicely decorated with Spanish motifs. However, the ambiance was disrupted by country music, which didn’t match the theme. As someone from NYC with extensive experience in Mexican and Spanish cuisine, I found the dishes here to be too Americanized. While the restaurant has room for improvement, it could be worth a visit if you’re in the area. They also seem to have live music on weekends, which could be a plus for some.
If you want real authentic Mexican food in the Buffalo area go to Margaritas in Lancaster New York very good authentic food drinks and atmosphere.
The only good thing about this restaurant that I’m reviewing was the waitress
