El Mezquite Mexican Restaurant

Delicious tacos for a great price! The truck is not there Sundays. The random people I ate with on the picnic table really just saw this searching where to eat off the highway just like me lol the owner of the truck asks for my feedback. Oh they also ask if you like watermelons and give you a some as a side dish at no extra charge.

The serving portions are like what I see in my dad’s little home town in Mexico (low protein to reduce cost lots of bread and onions) Service: 5 stars Agua de horchata: 5 stars. I could easily see this becoming a favorite Torta de pollo empanizado (breaded chicken): 1 star. I was so so so incredibly disappointed in this sandwich and I was starving when I picked it up so... my standards weren’t very high at that time lol. I was mostly disappointed in the star of the show, the chicken! The edges were burnt, the chicken was beat so thin that when they cooked it the resulting product was like chewing on chicken jerky. I’ve attached a photo of the chicken. It’s on the bottom... kind of hard to even see. I would have loved to pay more for a decent sandwich. Based on other reviews it looks like the quality has decreased all the way around (the last burrito photo I saw was pretty sad). I ended up taking this home, throwing away the “chicken”, and added deli meat to salvage the sandwich. Even then the bread didn’t seem all that fresh and they went heavy on the onions but the rear of the ingredients were scarce. I wanted to love this place but sadly didn’t have a great first experience. The hunt for a good torta is still on :0)

Outgoing and friendly. Counter service. Sandwiches are good size. The burritos used to be larger, but are still a good size. Whichever protein you choose, it will fill the majority of your burrito. Fixings such as onions, cilantro, beans, etc. don't take up much real estate. The pastor and bistec were stuffed with meat. Fairly quick service, cooked to order. Clean place.

Cashier let cooks know my order for door dash was here i waited by the pass out food window. Waited a few minutes, a cook asked me what did i have and i explained my order and that it was from door dash he said did i sign the receipt i said yes. He said nothing else and continued to work. Long lines after me formed of people ordering their food and every single one of them got their order. I thought it was odd because i ordered way before i got there and maybe got there 7minutes earlier than when my food was supposed to be ready which was at 8:13. I waited long after that. Like i explained everyone waiting in the long line after me got there food first. The cooks were trying to move so fast they messed up a women’s order twice. And then finally the same cooked asked me again what did i have and if they gave me a ticket. I explained my order again and then said no they didn’t give me a ticket. Another cook asked me where did my order come from; DoorDash. He then grabbed a big bag that had been sitting up on a shelf. This whole time my food was ready, been ready before i even got there. I know this because i noticed the big bag when i walked in, searching to see if mine could possibly be up there. Also i was watching them make food the whole time while i was waiting. Bad communication? Bad understanding? I spoke English and clear Spanish to the cook as he spoke clear English and Spanish to me. Stop trying to move more faster than what you can so this doesn’t happen. My food was cold. What am i going to do? Ask them to remake a 40$ order over? My family was waiting a good while for me to get back with what they wanted also why i didn’t ask for a refund. Then to get home and see the food, Wow. Papas con queso costs almost 6$ and they gave me half a cup of cheese with less than a hand full of fries. I ordered two chicken flautas. Gave me one chicken and one beef. Luckily my husband was willing to eat the beef cause i was definitely was fed up and about to call the store. Three stars because I’ve had more good orders than bad. And those few bad times have been when I’ve ordered through doordash. Better to just order there and wait the long line i guess.
