My Sister's Fault

This is the first time getting food there. This place was recommended by a coworker. The beef Empanada was very good. If you like spicy I would suggest getting hot sauce. It is not at all spicy. I read that amidst the description on the menu, I believe. Then I got a $5.00 bowl of rice with ummm, pigeon peas? It was an 8oz serving, but to give them credit, they did pack it in. It was mild in flavor but it did help fill me up. I also got a Chalupa, I wanted to try a few things. Since this was my first time, I read the menu carefully and asked questions when ordering. I was under the impression, by what I was told and read, that the Chalupa came with lettuce, tomato, sour cream, and cheddar cheese. I asked her to leave off the lettuce, when ordering, and she assured me that there wouldn't be any. However, there was a ton on it, and additional overflowing in the container. My fear of lettuce turned into a nightmare! While doing some, much needed scraping, I saw a tiny bit of sour cream and something runny and light yellow. I asked myself with much interest, "what the heck is that"?! Is it spoiled sour cream, weird mayonnaise, or perhaps Aioli sauce? Nope, none of those.....it was "cheddar cheese". Nope, not cheddar cheese like I expected, but Queso. Now, the good American that I am, was surely not looking for it to be Queso, a very mild tasting Queso at that. One last thing I purchased was a piece of "Chocolate" cake. I emphasize chocolate because, by the name if it which escapes me at the moment, I had hoped for a rich chocolaty experience to finish off my meal. But I bit into a lightweight of flavor and density of a cake. To sum up my experience, I would have to say....I was disappointed. I did manage to pick off all the lettuce, got somewhat filled by rice, ate the whole Empanada after adding a bit of hot sauce, and ate a few bites of cake. I hope I don't sound unfair with my review, I just say things as honestly as I taste and see. I have been doing reviews in many places for a long time now. Will I give them another try, probably. However, now I am armed with knowledge of what to expect and order accordingly. Happy eating and reviewing my friends 😃
