My friend and I were on our way to Baker's Square next door as I love their wonderful wait staff and attentiveness to the customer's needs plus very nice food (Yes, unusual for Baker's Square in later years!). My friend said Mi Mexico had delicious...Mexicana food, so I reluctantly agreed to go there instead. I was not impressed that they had not bothered to replace the raggedy sign over the front door. The interior looked "Ok," but we decided to eat outside on the patio instead (because of the health challenges that we are faced with nowadays). Our waiter was not warm nor interested in his job, unlike the waitress that we observed waiting on the table next to us. She was explaining the menu to her customers and answering their questions. Our waiter just threw one photocopied menu on the table and asked us if we were ready to order and never told us what the daily specials were or anything relevant to know....the meal only went downhill from there.
I wanted to eat a vegetarian meal, so I asked him if he had veggie enchiladas as there were no veggie dishes listed. He did not seem to understand my question and told me finally that they only had bean or cheese. I decided that it was a waste of time to ask anything else so I took the two bean enchilada dish and my friend took a one beef enchilada dish. My food came on a hot plate, that was a good thing! Our waiter told us to be careful; the plate was hot! Helpful! From the first bite, is where the disappointment began to settle in. The beans were warm, not hot, and they seem like the pale refried beans you find in a can, not thick/soupy variety, with very little taste. The cheese, well, I will leave that topic alone.
The Spanish rice was weak tasting, and definitely like it came from a premade box; I could be wrong, but I doubt it. My friend's beef enchilada had soupy beef; in tiny granules like dog food instead of crumbled hamburger meat. She was not happy with the taste or the consistency of her meal. She apologized to me and said next time we would go to Baker's Square next door. I ended up treating my friend to a meal that was not even as good a Taco John or even Taco Bell. I had to spend over $9 on each of our meals; the bill came to $21+. I do not usually write food reviews, so that tells you how disappointed I was. We did not mention it to the manager because we don't plan to go back, and our waiter told us that this was how their food always is. End of comment!More
