I took my friend here because we really wanted to try Illegal Burger, but it was packed. The last time I was here, they had really great hamburgers and thought that we could get our hamburger fix here. Well they stopped serving hamburgers and have a very small, limited menu up on a chalkboard. I remember that they had menus that we could take to our seat that had more on them than what was on the chalkboard, so I asked the woman working there if that was all they had. She rolled her eyes and responded with "it's more than enough, isn't it". Sorry, but 5 dishes on a menu is not more than enough. So I told her that I just meant that they used to have hamburgers and thats why we came down here. "Well we dont!" So I asked my friend if she wanted to eat there since we were kind of looking for some good hamburgers and the woman interrupts, "you aren't going to find better tex mex in Oslo". We were pretty much starving after a long day of shopping, so we decided to stay despite the bitchy attitude of the woman and let me tell you, this is service at its worst in Norway. She does not make you feel welcome for being there. As we were standing there ordering, there was a couple that walked in, and did not close the door behind them. She screams at them to close the door. They just turned around and left, which is what we probably should have done. It was a Saturday night. All other restaurants were packed and this place was empty when we walked in and empty when we walked out. No wonder if that's the type of treatment towards customers they find acceptable.
So my friend gets the burrito with beef and I got the southern fried chicken, which came with some grilled corn mash. The burritos was not a burrito, but an open tortilla with a cold beef salad thrown on top. The "southern" fried chicken and corn mash were salty. That's the only way to describe it. The chicken was moist, but everything just tasted of salt. There was really no other taste. I drank nearly a half of gallon of water when I got home to try and get rid of the salt taste that was drying out my mouth. Based off the tiny little menu with 5 items and the wretched woman working there, I will never be returning to this place. You need to have good food if you are going to have attitude like that and trust me, you can find better tex mex in my kitchen from my El Dorado burrito dinner kit.
