I was suggested this restaurant after expressing my craving for mexican food that I missed from home back in San Diego, California. And, was left upset for spending so much money on such bland non-mexican food.We went during happy hour so the drink prices were not bad. Though, they did not have Corona. Dos Equis sufficed. The location is across from what I assume was a strip club. So it was kind of fun to watch the drunk expats get suckered into going inside.Where I am from, chips and salsa are

Where I am from, chips and salsa are free with your meal (like bread at most restaurants). Here they were not free, and they were not cheap. The salsa had such little flavor that I had to pour hot sauce into it to give it any taste . The tortilla chips were OK, some were a bit greasy which was odd.
We ordered the mixed meat Fajita and the steak burrito. They do not offer Carne Asada or Carnitas here, which was a surprise since these are standard requirements for a "Mexican" establishment. The Fajita was not bad, though nothing about it was mexican. And, just because you wrap up slices of steak in a flour tortilla then throw a glob of sour cream and flavorless guacamole on it does not qualify it as a burrito.
The flavor of the food all in all was not bad. In fact some of it was flavorful enough. But, it was not Mexican food and not what I wanted to pay for. This also brings me to mention that between these 2 dishes, chips, and 2 beers our bill was around $600HK! Which is outrageous for mexican food.
I will not be coming back here again.
