The first couple of times, I was impressed by the large portion sizes, noticed the so-so service, but was willing to overlook it when the urge for Mexican hit me. I admit I was also taken in by the cool fountain. Now that I've returned several times, I'm disappointed and probably won't be back. Yeah, the food is reasonably priced, but the ingredients are cheap - "guacamole" means a skimpy squirt of FAKE guacamole - that green snotty-looking stuff! Even when I ask for extra guacamole, I still get the ONE skimpy squirt of snot. The "salsa" or pico de gallo consists of about 5 tiny anemic fragments of tomato. The fajitas are extremely slim on meat and even bell peppers, heavier on the onions, and generous on rice and beans. I'm starting to feel like I'm being taken. Is good Mexican in the Sunset too much to ask?
Pros: Reasonable prices, Large portions, Cool fountain
Cons: Marginal service, Cheap ingredients
