Soft flour tortilla with beef tips, topped with cheese, lettuce, tomato, sour cream and guacamole. Served with Spanish rice and beans. $6.95
Mi Degollado, Charles Town WV

Ugh, I really didn’t want to come back here, but some of the guys I was working with wanted to try it for their first time. Suffice it to say they were not impressed and I wasn’t either for my second attempt. The food was below average and the workers aren’t even Mexican, lol! We thought that they were likely from Central America instead.

Two enchiladas topped with mole sauce, chopped onions and cheese. Served with rice and beans. $8.95
Mi Degollado, Charles Town WV

Gross, this food was horrible! I don’t know what they’re thinking but this does not successfully pass as decent Mexican food. The tortillas used for the enchiladas were sad and the mole sauce was bland. Even the margarita didn’t taste very good. Welcome to West Virginia I guess…

San Jalisco, San Francisco CA

I loved the mole sauce in this dish. I’m sure it wasn’t the healthiest for you, but that’s probably why it was SO good. It was very flavorful and the chicken was also tender and juicy.

These tostadas were bright and refreshing. There was plenty of seafood atop those crispy tortillas. I also liked the variety of their salsa bar. They even have some salsas that are actually spicy, score!

These tacos were very good and the meats were flavorful and tender. I also loved the house made tortillas. That always makes a difference. The accompanying salsas and pickles were a nice touch.

Lime-marinated seafood of the day with tomato, onion and cilantro. $4.75
Taqueria Nueve, Portland OR

This was really delicious and fresh tasting. I liked that they served it on a tostada for some added crunch. It was on the small side but then again it cost less than five bucks so I can’t complain.
