For starters I'm latin; I know Mexican food. Furthermore, I live in Austin, TX., just 225 miles from the closest Mexican city (Piedras Negras),.....you can't get any more Mexican than that, unless you live there. I read Richards (from Seattle's) yelp review on Tammy's Mexican Restaurant. Sorry Rich, but you'll have to travel south,....much further south to experience quality Mexican food. Either that, or try to get out a little bit more often.
I ordered the Carne Asada plate. Carne Asada, for those who do not know, is Marinated Skirt steak. The steak plate I ordered Was Not marinated at all. The meat was old, and dried out like the sole of my shoe. I can't remember last where I had such a tough piece of steak. Probably the only redeeming quality of my dinner was the sliced Avacado in my side salad, and the corn tortillas,...they were good.
The price of $12 and change (for it's poor quality) was insulting as well. I find it hard to believe that this town of 71,000 tolerates what they charge, especially when 33.7% of it is hispanic. Look it up.
I'm adventurous, and will poke my head into any dive when I travel and sample their food. You never know, some places despite their appearance score GREAT,...others not. This one regretfully, was a full thumbs down. Tomorrow I'll be in Seattle,...now I know for certain that there's good food there. Live and learn.
