You definitely don't want to just pop in here without a reservation on Saturday night. My wife and I were lucky in that two seats opened up right when we arrived; two parties immediately afterward were turned away.I tend to judge Tex-Mex places on the quality of their fajitas. I had had the beef fajitas here before and was unimpressed. This time I had the chicken fajitas. A rundown:Tortillas: flat and lifeless, not warm or stretchy or fluffy or tasty. Less lifeless than the ones at Tequila, but
I tend to judge Tex-Mex places on the quality of their fajitas. I had had the beef fajitas here before and was unimpressed. This time I had the chicken fajitas. A rundown:
Tortillas: flat and lifeless, not warm or stretchy or fluffy or tasty. Less lifeless than the ones at Tequila, but still some of the worst flour tortillas I've encountered. 3/10
Sour cream: that liquid sour cream goo. 2/10
Salsa: So their salsa is pretty gross-looking. Like tomato soup. They luckily have a "wall of flame" (or something) with a bunch of bottles of hot sauce. I asked for something "real hot" and they brought over a hot sauce and a mild sauce (why not two hot ones? I asked for "hot"). The hot sauce was reasonably good-- minced scotch bonnets, not too vinegary. Not nearly as spicy as you'd expect from something whose main ingredient is scotch bonnet peppers, but it did have some kick to it. 8/10
Pico de gallo: Yeah right, like they have that. 0/10
Guacamole: Passable. Not a homogenous paste like the guac at Tequila. Nothing to write home about either. 7/10
Cheese: None. No cheese on fajitas? Maybe there was an option to get cheese and I just overlooked it? Anyway, an enormous oversight. 0/10
Chicken: Overcooked, but not horribly so. Either it wasn't marinated or the marinade was weak. Blah filler from what should be the star of the show. 4/10
Fajita veggies: good and plentiful. Maybe a little overcooked and soggy. And, man, what I wouldn't give for some jalapenos! 7/10
I make fajitas that are way better than this, and I'm hardly a master chef. Overall fajita score: 5/10
My wife got a chicken burrito. Another reviewer said the burritos were "fist-sized"-- but they're way bigger, unless you have enormous fists. Unfortunately, the burrito was just chicken and beans, and according to my wife the chicken was "OK, but not all that good". Also, I have to mention that the black beans that came on the side of the burrito were very liquidy. My wife gives the burrito 5/10
Here's my advice. If you gotta have Tex-Mex (I suppose I should say "HK-Mex"), this place beats Tequila by a little and beats Taco Loco by miles. But don't expect anything great, and make sure to ask for the hot sauce behind the counter. Final verdict: 5/10
