I ordered delivery through Doordash.....not necessarily due to Covid, but I was simply too lazy to get out of my pajamas. I pored over the reviews beforehand, and was delighted to see so many people rant and rave about the food, so I was expecting nothing less than a 4-5 star experience. Regrettably, that's not the case.
I ordered the Chimichanga, and paid $1 extra for Carne Asada. It comes with a side of Mexican Salad, Refried Beans, Chips, Salsa, and Queso. When I first opened the container, everything seemed in order. The salad is pretty basic, with shredded iceberg lettuce, diced tomatoes, and crumbled cheese. I sampled the Refried Beans, they had a smooth, creamy consistency, and were quite enjoyable. The Chimichangas, however....ugh. I cannot. I just.....ok so I cut into it and instead of sumptuous shreds of Carne Asada, there were what I can only describe as dehydrated ground beef crumbles. It was a total "WTF?....." moment. Great....I paid extra for steak and got jerky. Being that I was famished and not wanting to waste food, I tried it anyways. The tortilla had a nice crispness to it, but from there it's all downhill. Not a hint of seasoning was noted and the dry, crumbly texture of the beef was too off-putting. Needless to say, I didn't finish.
I don't get it. I mean really, what the f*ck was THAT? When are the refried beans ever better than the main course??? Even the chips and melty queso were decent (add a star for the sides). Obviously there's a ton of you out there that were served fresh, flavorful, potentially life-altering dishes, but sadly, I have to disagree. Perhaps if I was given the right dish in the first place, then this review would be completely different.
Till next time, my fellow Yeeps, thanks for reading, stay safe, and as always....SYOY!
