Restaurant review:

Tortilla Flats. Soquel.

What a friggin joke man. I just ate there for the first time. Got togo. My coworker picked it up for me. I ordered their lunch special enchiladas. Texas something or other. They said chicken and beef on the phone with a special sauce and sour cream. What I basically got was 2 shredded beef enchiladas with a watered down enchilada sauce with some corn and beans tossed in. And a drizzle of sour cream. Talking a drizzle. I'd call it decoration actually.

The enchilada were good but talk about overpriced and over rated. I wish there was a place I could leave a review (anyone know of one).

Seriously>

Was $12 for a lunch SPECIAL.

LUNCH.

And I'd be down to pay that if it was like sliced steak or shrimp or fish or something. But it was shredded beef... and the kicker.

It was apparently ala carte. I got the 2 enchiladas and that's it. No rice. No beans. No nothing. 2 enchiladas in a little plastic container.

Screw that place. There are 4 mexican restaurant on the 4 corners. Hands down the biggest rip off.

I'll stick with La Cabana.

yeah jim.


yeah they went south. I ran into him on his way back. Just wasn't sure where he went after.

I think he's on an R6 or R1 anyways.

just scared me cause it was in the right time frame and he's from watsonville if I'm not mistaken. Least that's where I usually see him.

So if you take it up over 5k and let off are you just letting off instantly...

if so I really think it's just backfire.

But if you're under warranty it wouldn't hurt to have them look at it.

I'm bummed to hear that, we were thinking about trying that place...I have heard that it is kinda pricey. Have you guys tried Little Tampico over on Main St? I dunno if they do take out, but its tasty, inexpensive and straightforward...and +50 for La Cabana, I eat there just about every time I work in Soquel, ceviche nachos are ridiculously good....
