El Tehuano Corp

Uggh, I hate it when anxious anticipation turns to disappointment.
I ordered 3 traditionally authentic $ 2.50 tacos: tripe, tongue & head cheese always ordered Mexican style which is simply onions and cilantro on a warm soft taco shell. Unfortunately they didn’t get it right.
In almost any Mexican place I ever dined at including stands they supply chips and salsa or some hot sauce. Not here. Only one shell wrapped around a slim pickens of meat, usually there are 2. The flavor wasn’t there either. In fact, the head cheese was clearly frozen and tasted like puke, literally. Of course I ate it any way, I pride myself in testing my abdominal fortitude. I should’ve know better because immediately after I ordered from the broken English speaking waiter, the cook went right to the freezer which is located behind the dining room counter.
Glancing over the rest of the menu divulged some watered down issues especially the combo of Americanized Tex mex (I believe TeX Mex stands for Americanized watered down Mexican food) items. Gyros and grilled pastrami sandwich’s featured on the menu, really? Oh lord, here we again.
Now as you’d expect the prices are very reasonable as most divey Mexican places are. Divey definitely fits this place, but not in a good down home comforting kinda way.
The dining area seemed fairly clean. The bathroom was sorta sanitary, but in a serious need of modernization as is the small dingy kitchen.
The rumbles in my tum tum left me searching for pepto bismol. There’s a far better option within walking distance at «El Tapito» for a truly authentic experience. Unfortunately this ain’t it.
Pass!
