I don't know if I can speak to whether this is authentic Mexican food. Â All I can judge is whether I like it or not. Â I have never been disappointed in a meal here. Â There are a number of Mexican restaurants in the Lexington Park, Southern Maryland area. Â This is the best, more consistent one I have been to in this area. Â I have been satisfied with multiple visits and have had a variety of items here. Â I have been to Mexican places in Texas with locals which I assume are more authentic. Â I would put this up against those places. Â That's enough for me and I have recommended it to others.
Review Source:Worst waiter of all time. I was with my obviously elderly father and asked if the quesadilla was easy to pick up. The waiter confirmed that it was. I explained my dad's issues and still he confirmed. Â He returned 10 minutes later with a wet sloppy mess and the excuse that if he wanted, my dad could eat it openface. Â Awful.
Review Source:Food is good, but not authentic.
I have a huge gripe regarding the pricing. I ordered a chicken torta (sandwich). I asked for jalapeños and hot salsa added to the sandwich. The bill came out to over $11. I said, how is that- sandwich listed at $7.75. They obnoxiously charged $3 for added jalapeños and salsa. He actually said "Everything has a cost". He literally charged a 40 percent surcharge for a few jalapeños and salsa.
Unbelievable. So many people from our medical center go there. I've started telling them what banditos they are over there.
Never going again.
Um...throwing a pound of salt on a dish doesn't make it authentic Mexican. I'm usually willing to deal with subpar service if the food makes up for it. That's not the case here! The food came out too quickly to have been made fresh. My kids had chicken quesadillas; the tortilla was burnt and the chicken tasted at least a week old and was entirely too salty. My steak fajitas were swimming in so much oil I wasn't able to stomach 3/4 of the meal. Perhaps my standards for Mexican food are a little high, but honestly it takes real effort to screw it up!
Review Source:Anyone convinced that this is authentic Mexican food, is probably simply basing that on the fact that the majority of the staff is of Spanish descent, and has not had authentic, Â freshly made Mexican food. Where to begin.
Me and my boyfriend came in there, expecting great things. He told me that he'd eaten there before, and that you could get full for cheap. Well, that is true. Nothing was more than 20 dollars, in fact I don't think anything was 20 dollars. So, the price is really quite nice.The decor, while nice, was over shadowed by the clinical-feeling over head lighting.
Regarding our service, our waiter was quite cold. Tossing things down to us, and not checking on us at all. Its probably because we weren't a table of ladies, or a birthday party, so they didnt expect much money from us. Shame, because we tip for good service. The only person who was kind was the boy who brought out our food.
The food came out fast, but you could tell that it wasn't because the chef was back there hustling, but instead because the majority of the food was already pre made. I ordered the taco salad, and it was in a sad state. The beans just looked disgusting. The fried tortilla tasted old, like the oil it was fried in was old. The shredded beef was not a sight to behold either. My boyfriend ordered a red snapper fillet, and it was dry, underseasoned, and burned on one side. You could tell it was a frozen fillet too. For dessert, Â we ordered the deep fried icecream. Sometimes, less is more, and this certainly could have benefitted from that. It came out with an old-tasting maraschino cherry on top, and slathered in whip cream. Cherry aside, it tasted alright. Is it so much to ask for fresh ingredients? Finally, they started cleanup an hour prior to the establishment closing, so there was a really strong and unpleasant Pinesol smell present while we ate.
All in all, it was a unique experience. Â I would say the highlight was that Captain America and Batman were there greeting people, though I didn't get to speak to them myself.
If you don't mind old, premade food that has probably been sitting out, waiting to be ordered, Â and biased service, Â then this is the place for you! Non-authentic places like Chipotle and Cafe Rio easily trump this place though. I won't be going here again.
This is the sister restaurant of Fiesta's a few miles south. Â Some new stuff on menu. Â Owner was there to check on us. Â My brothers and I just stopped in for a late lunch. Â Its a tad more expensive then the other place, but the rennovations are nice to that space. Â Give it a try!
