Reviews
I am a fan of what many know as Chile Colorado, which is chunks of beef in a rich red chile sauce. I have yet to find a decent restaurant in the area that lives up to my expectations of what I am used to. Having been raised in the southwest and having worked in many regions of Mexico, I am admittedly spoiled to the point that I make my red sauce from dried chilies regularly. As a retired chef, I know what a good red sauce should be, whether the basic red, or the foundation for a Oaxacan mole.
I ordered the Chili Colorado burrito, anticipating a flavorful and meat-centric experience. Unfortunately, what arrived was a mixed bag. The burrito itself was relatively well-constructed, but alarmingly, it was only about half-filled with meat, and the rest was a huge amount of beans. The meat, thankfully, was tender and well-prepared, which was the sole redeeming quality of the burrito filling. Sadly, this was not a significant departure from my experience with the typical Chili Colorado burritos I’ve encountered in local restaurants. The excessive quantity of beans sadly had a detrimental effect on the overall flavor profile. Instead of the rich, robust taste of the red chile sauce I was looking forward to, the beans diluted the sauce, making it difficult to truly appreciate its quality. I don’t know why restaurateurs think this cost-cutting measure actually saves them money, when it actually costs them customers (who spend money). Those two or three tablespoons of beans can literally cost them hundreds of dollars in lost customers. A Chili Colorado burrito does not contain beans!!
The accompanying beans served on the side were equally underwhelming. They possessed a thin, watery consistency and lacked any actual substance or depth of flavor. However, there was a bright spot in the meal: the rice. Unlike the bland and often-overlooked rice that often serves as a mere filler on Mexican plates, this rice was exceptional. It was rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care and attention to detail, making it the highlight of the entire dish. It tasted as though cooked in stock versus just salted water, with a bit of tomato. Overall, the burrito was a disappointment, but the rice was fantastic.
My wife ordered the shrimp fajitas without green peppers, with corn tortillas. When the disk came, she received nicely cooked shrimp on a mountain of sauteed onions, with flour tortillas. She asked that the flour tortillas be swapped out for the corn tortillas she had specifically requested.
The presentation of the food at this establishment leaves much to be desired, suggesting a lack of attention to detail in the kitchen. While the taste may be acceptable, the visual appeal is clearly an afterthought. Adding a small garnish could significantly elevate the dining experience and show a sense of pride in the culinary creations. The addition of fresh elements like a small amount of shredded lettuce and a sprinkle of chopped tomato would communicate a simple message: “I care about the overall quality and presentation of the food I serve.” This simple effort could transform the meal from merely sustenance to a more enjoyable and memorable occasion for the customer.
If you get a chance stop in try something new and I bet it will be great
Last time about 2 weeks ago it wasn’t anything that I anticipated
I’m sure what happened
Meat was tender but the sauce was bland and watery
Sad
Please fix this
Chicken enchilada is my favorite. Relax and enjoy.
