  Been here for lunch a few times, nothing remarkable. Today will be my last, ordered to buffalo chicken burrito with no tortilla. Just hot no flavor and it was over ten dollars. Taco bell would have been better!

  Undoubtedly the tastiest Mexican food around.  Usually around $8, the burrito has all the necessities of a good burrito - rice, black beans, cheese, lettuce, and so much more.  They even have daily specials with only $5 burritos.  What's most important, though, is that all of the food is generally healthy.  There are healthy choices such as brown rice, wheat tortillas, etc.  No matter what you order, expect to be full after.  The burritos are stuffed and the quesadillas are almost just as filling.  Vegetarian alternatives are available.  Try the Gazpacho (seasonal) or tropical mango burrito, both are so refreshing and unbelievably tasty!  The workers are exceptionally nice and very accommodating.  Definitely worth a try!

  After getting slightly lost on our way back from Lyman Orchards, my boyfriend and I noticed The Whole Enchilada and decided to stop in for lunch. Bad choice.  My guess is that this is the only Mexican spot in the area, which is straight up country. Mainly a takeout place, there are two or three wobbly tables to sit down.  My boyfriend reported that the bathroom was a disaster area, so I didn't even make an attempt to go in there. With that said, I don't mind a hood spot, if the food is great.  No such luck.  We ordered the chicken nachos which appeared to be a few mini Tostitos covered in chicken, cheese, tomatos, and jalapenos.  Mediocre at best.  For an entree, we both ordered the hard beef tacos with rice. The rice tasted like yellow goya boxed rice and the tacos were disgusting.  I took one bite and gave them to my boyfriend who is a human garbage disposal.  The beef was bland as if they have an aversion to Adobo. They were topped with mozzerella cheese, very Mexican, no salsa, no sour cream. Bleh! I would of been happier going to Taco Bell.

  the whole enchilada is pretty good mexican take out fare .. i think it gets popular in the summer when people are header to/from the shore .. off peak times it never seems too busy.  
  
  i have had a few different things here, and all were decent - i was never disappointed but never really blown away. they didnt have tons of options for a vegetarian that doesnt eat beans, but the things i ordered without beans were always good.  the roasted veg burrito was good. the nachos were ok. cheese quesedilla was pretty good. all pretty basic stuff - but not very cheap.
  
  if you are passing by the whole enchilada and want mexican food there arent too many other options without driving a ways .. if i had to choose between a taco bell or the whole enchilada .. i would go to whole enchilada and pay 4x as much  ..
  
  ps. their web site plays very annoying music.
