I'd not been there in years and so looked forward to it. While the chips were good, I found the salsa to be dreadful; tasted like it came right out of a jar. For my entree, I ordered a chile relleno stuffed with pork. It was way overcooked, and the pork had, in my opinion, the consistency of sawdust; virtually no flavor and entirely dry. Bleh! Atop it all, the service was poor. Our waitress rarely came to the table and owing to the time (about 5pm), perhaps, the place was not crowded at all. In my opinion, that's inexcusable. I doubt I'll return.
