We started with the guacamole and chips. The guacamole and the salsa were both quite good, but.... they were served with out-of-the-bag room temp tostitos. I was really disappointed that there weren't any homemade chips (or at least better quality chips) to go with the fresh guacamole.
We then each ordered the 3/$7.50 quesadillas (a very reasonable price). I tried the queso, the rajas y queso (poblano pepper and cheese), and the chorizo y papas (sausage and potato) fillings. My husband also tried the spicy chicken and the beef & cheese.
First let me say- everything is made fresh, and that's awesome. But it's not your typical quesadilla- it's heavier because it's fried. And maybe our mistake was that we should have shared a plate of this and then gotten something else, but it was just too heavy- and worse, somewhat bland. We put copious amounts of salsa on them to up the spice level, which helped.
Overall, I would stay away from the plain cheese ones, because the cheese is chewy and just way-too-much on top of the fried dough. My husband liked his beef and cheese variety the most, and I liked the chorizo y papas one- namely because there was no cheese in there.
I really like that this place is authentic and a good price, and I can understand why people would love this place, but I'm not sure I'll go out of my way to go back.
