As part of my trips to Macau, I try my best to frequent different restaurants around the area. Staying at the Hard Rock Cafe Hotel this time around, i decided to check out El Pinball Mexican Restaurant located in the Soho section on the second floor in the City Of Dreams. As someone who grew up in Texas and California, I have had countless meals from great Mexican restaurants and unfortunately, El Pinball was well below par. We ordered a lychee margarita, chicken quesdilla, carnitas burrito and steak fajitas. The chicken quesdilla was actually decent with a cheesy filling but the guacamole was definitely not freshly made and was probably made from some form of instant mix. The burrito was a letdown as the pork had little to no flavor and oddly enough, the burrito included feta cheese which is not typically included in a traditional burrito and was not wrapped (sort of like a deconstructed burrito lol). Steak fajitas was average but it was literally 95% green peppers and onions and 5%. The lychee margarita was pretty good although the tequila used was again below average (for HK$180 a glass i would expect better). All in all, this place would be great for drinks but definitely not worth it in terms of food for the price you pay (Each dish we ordered cost on average HK$140).
