Las Margaritas

Las Margaritas
(718)238-7630

Ordered:

Pork chimichanga
Vegetarian tostadas

Well, this order was pretty awful start to finish. The vegetarian tostadas were described as "all right" by my wife. They had radishes on them, and big slices of raw onion, both things I appreciate in Mexican food.

What I can speak about from personal experience, however, is the pork chimichanga. It was pretty bad. The deep fried chimichanga had been covered in some sort of baked on sauce and cheese. That, combined with the trip in an enclosed tin container, made most of the fried skin of the thing turn into something like a wet scab. Bleah. The fried bits had a almost chemical taste, not like poison but not at all good.

The meat inside had that slightly off taste of organ meat, along with a texture to match. Such a disappointment.

A real disappointment.
