Tonight I went to Mexico for the first time. I didn't even have to worry about having a passport. I'm speaking of Mexico the Restaurant located in Southpoint. I thought it was sure to be great because I heard from a friend that they heard from a friend that it was great. The atmosphere of the restaurant was nice and welcoming, clean, festive, and comforting. And I got to truthfully tell everyone on my facebook page that "I'm going to Mexico." So that was fun. However, my big problem with my dining experience was the time it took to get served. It took a half hour after we ordered, to get our food. That doesn't sound like a long time but during that time all our drinks went totally empty as did our chips. And when the waiter finally brought more of these things, he looked disgruntled more than anything else. I personally always have a friendly smiling face so I find it off putting when I go to a restaurant and I can't find the same. The food was good, especially the quesadillas. I can't recommend this restaurant but if you do go, I suggest you order the shrimp and crab quesadillas. It was delicious. I also ordered chile rellano, which is something I order every time I go out for Mexican food. I was not happy with it. To start with, it was very spicy. I feel like if they are going to use anything other than the traditional poblano pepper, which is very mild, they should warn you on the menu. Furthermore it wasn't covered with the egg and flour breading it normally is. It was just baked with no breading and very little cheese sprinkled on top. In the end, I didn't even get dessert because I was just over that restaurant. But I did stop at the grocery store on the way home and pick up a cheese cake. Sara Lee for the Win!
Anyway, thanks for reading my food blog. Until next time, enjoy this picture of my brother, eating a nacho and waiting patiently for his food.
