Well, we have tried it and do not like it. Thankfully it wasn't too
terribly expensive. We had to go to a thing at the high school and we got
in late. It was on our way home and a new one went in here a few months
ago. So I told Angela we would try it. She was less than thrilled because
she has a dislike for fast foods.

I got two naked burrito bowls. Brown rice, pinto beans. The beans looked a
tad greasy and sloppy. For some reason they were swimming in a lot
of...broth? She had chicken on hers with cheese, guacamole and sour cream.
I had the ground beef, pico de gallo, fajita vegetables. And we both had
lettuce.

As you can imagine, the lettuce got kind of wilty. The fajita vegetables
have an odd taste to them but I can't figure out what it is. Something in
there tastes soapy. I thought maybe it was those but maybe the pico de
gallo? Cilantro doesn't normally taste soapy to me but when I grew my own,
it did. Something in here is so spicy hot that it is burning my tongue. I
can't tell what it is. Angela said hers is not that way. The pico is
supposed to be mild.

Overall it is just not a good blend of food. Seems like parts of this dish
are not seasoned enough and something is seasoned way too much. Must be the
ground beef.

I don't think we'll be eating this again. I am having to force it down and
it's just not good. Makes me wish I had gone with my first instincts and
cooked up some beans and rice last night. That would be a lot tastier than
this!

Why are you forcing it down if it's so nasty?

I'm not any more. I gave up. I was hungry though and had nothing else
prepared to eat.

I was just amazed at the glowing reviews that this place got. But there
were also some really bad reviews that went along with what I found the
place to be. I did ask another person today if she ever ate there. She
said that they tried it twice and did not like it at all. She said she
thought it was zucchini that they put in their fajita mix that made it taste
weird. I don't recall seeing any but there might have been.

She also said that by the time she got to the end of her order, she was told
that there was no more guacamole to which she replied, "Well, I don't want
it then!" They tried to make her buy it. And knowing her, that likely
didn't happen. She said she thought the appeal to men was that the food was
big and full of meat. I did see the guy ahead of me get a burrito with
ground sirloin and it did seem to have a lot of meat. My naked burrito
however did not and the bowl wasn't even close to being full. I'd say the
amount of food that I got was worth about $3.00 even in a restaurant.
Perhaps a tad more for Angela's only because she had guacamole and sour
cream on hers. And yet the total was around $17.00.

I've had mixed exeriences at Qdoba. Might be better than Taco Bell, but
it's still factory fast food. Cindy and I would occasionally visit one
in Greensboro, NC when we lived there.

Have you tried Gallo de Oro, in downtown Bothell? We've only been there
twice, but had very good meals both times. I really like their Mole
Poblano.

No. In fact we never go into downtown Bothell, although we did go through
part of it today to get to the high school. Looks like they are putting up
a lot of new places there. We did try Paison Tequila which is on the way to
downtown Bothell. It came highly recommended to us by the owner of Ixtapa
in Lynnwood. The owners are friends of his.

Daughter and husband loved the place but I can't say that I did. Part of
the problem was that I got a waitress who seemed to speak very little
English. She kept misunderstanding what I had ordered. Then I made it
worse by telling her that I needed a place setting. Meaning a knife, fork,
spoon and napkin. We both had a hard time understanding each other. I
thought finally she had understood what I had said and when she repeated it
back to me, I told her that was what I wanted.

Then I began to wonder when I saw her with a shocked look on her face and my
husband and daughter had the same shocked looks. I can't even remember now
what it was that she thought I said but it was something totally comical in
that nobody in their right mind would have ordered that. And then when I
tried to tell her that, no, that wasn't what I had said at all, she just
couldn't get it. So I told her, "Never mind" which she also didn't
understand. So what I wound up getting was some really strange plate of
food that probably left the chef scratching his head as to why I would have
ordered that to begin with. And still no silverware. I had to flag someone
else down to get that. The place was so packed that I couldn't swipe one
from another table because the other tables were all full.

Oh and our table! It was actually two small tables pushed together and the
one I got stuck sitting at had a wonky leg or something. It was so wobbly
that any time anyone set their hand on it, it tilted towards me. Of course
after my husband noticed this, he kept doing this on purpose. Several times
I had to grab a drink or something because it nearly slid into my lap.

We should try it again. I think it really would be good if I didn't get
that same waitress and perhaps a different table.

We have also eaten at Jaliscos. Angela really dislikes it because they put
a lot of cheese and sauce on their food and she is not a sauce person.
Husband loves it. And although I do like their food, they have gotten my
order wrong so very many times that I will not go back.

And almost across the street from there is Aca Las Tortas. He raves about
their food and it is close to where he works. But... He and I seem to very
much disagree on what we think is good Mexican food. So I am leery to try
them. He disliked Ixtapa because he dislikes the sauces and that's the very
reason I like them! He also likes Azteca and I just can not see why. I
have never gotten anything that I consider to be edible in there except for
the beans. Whatever they call the whole beans. I can't remember. Once
they were too salty but otherwise fine. The next time they needed salt.
But everything else I have gotten is just bad and IMO it is hardly
authentic. I also think their salsa is watery and flavorless and the one by
the Alderwood mall has a salsa bar that is a joke! Two big bowls on ice.
One has watery orange stuff and one has watery green stuff. Neither is hot
and both taste the same.

Do you know if Gallo De Oro has parking? We got badly lost once in downtown
Bothell and it was lunch time. I wanted to stop somewhere and saw several
Mexican places but I couldn't find a place to park. I am lousy at street
parking and can't walk far.

Another place I have wondered about was Frida's in Mill Creek. I remember
reading a newspaper article about them when we first moved here that they
had the best Mexican food in the area. But I have seen very mixed reviews
online. People either loved it or severely hated it. And those that hated
it often said they got sick after eating there. They do have an unusal menu
though.

Oh and by far the worst place I have eaten at (until Qdoba that is) would be
Mazatlan. We tried the one in Woodinville and then mistakenly went to the
one in Mountlake Terrace not realizing that it was the same place. My
parents had eaten there and my dad told me it was horrible but agreed to go
back there so I could try it. I realized my mistake immediately when they
brought the bean dip with chicken in it. I do not like chicken. The only
thing in that whole place that had any flavor whatever was the beans. And
it was not a good flavor. I don't know what they seaonsed them with but
they used waaay too much of it. And they were runny. The salsa had no
flavor either. My dad asked them if they had a hotter sauce? The guy went
into the kitchen and came back with a squeeze bottle of something. He
didn't know what it was. But we suspected that it was Sirracha (sp?). My
dad said that it was blindingly hot but it wasn't a good flavor. Didn't
look Mexican. That's for suere.

No Steve. Seeing as how we came in with the food around 8:30 tonight and I
posted after I tried to eat it.

No. I was bad. I had a handful of Doritos, the toasted corn ones, then two
little Easter sized bags of Skittles and then a can of pears. Yes, a whole
freaking can. I have to test my blood sugar pretty soon. I am frightened.

Note to self: Cook up a pot of beans each and every week, no matter what!
At least I do have a few cans of beans in the house. And I will be eating
those for the rest of the week.

Doritos was going to be my second guess

I bought a bag of those Taco Flavored Doritos when I was visiting mom for
Christmas. Was disappointed that they'd completely changed the recipe
from 350 years ago back in the 70s when I last ate them. The bag looks
exactly the same as it did back then except it's now made with modern
materials.

I do not like most flavored chips at all. Especially not Dortios. My
daughter likes the Taco ones but not very often an not enough to finish the
bag. I do remember being invited to a family picnic once some years ago.
Of course my family does not cook so my mom picked up some sort of
sandwiches from some place. Wasn't Subway but can't remember where. She
didn't get any with no meat and I wasn't eating meat. But she said this was
okay because there were chips. I reached for a Dorito without looking. It
was some sort of flavored one. Ew. They also had Sunchips because they
love them but I do not. I guess I'm just not big into chips. Once in while
I'll want plain potato chips. Or Fritos. Or some kind of plain Tortilla
chip. I'm not necessarily brand loyal when it comes to those but the
Dortios do seem a little thicker so they seem to work better for bean dip.

I won't blame HFCS ... it tasted a lot like the cool ranch flavor except
without the red and green colored specks. The bag just has the shiny
reflective interior that only astronauts used in the 70s.

The bags seem to be plastic now. I don't usually have to use scissors but
sometimes. In the old days the Frito bags were some kind of foil, at least
on the inside. Were the Dorito bags the same?

Well you would think they could guess a little better than the stuff
they came up with - it's not even close to the original.

Really? I remember those. They were great!
I ate a lot of them in college.

Can't remember the last time I ate Doritos.
Guess I missed their slide into mediocrity.
Better not eat any now -- I have my memories,
don't want to mess with that.

The corn nuts people may have lost their recipe for barbecued as well.
Oh, and I liked my Planters peanuts salty and oily. That's gone too. I
doubt that F/L lost the recipe. They simply wish they did by today's
nutrition standards. I ate tastier fast foods when I was a kid. A bag of
greasy Planter's peanuts in a 12 ounce Coke was heaven to me.
That's not BS. Snacks were coated, not sprinkled in order to save me
from myself. I liked it and I miss it.

Didn't you just say a few days ago that you don't get take out?

Uh, yeah. She told me so when I suggested a way to use those
shamrock-patterned paper plates for Mexican take-out.

Well this wasn't Mexican. It was some weird sort of psuedo Mexican.

We used to eat at Taco Time and would occasionally get food at the drive
through there. But after eating there once a week for many weeks on end, I
don't think I can get Angela to willingly eat their food again. I really
dislike taking food home like that. Would be different perhaps if there was
some place to get it that was very near us. But there is not. So by the
time such food gets to our house it is cold. And stuff like that doesn't
reheat well.

We generally do not. But daughter was unwilling to eat in there and it was
late. Never again.

Oh she knows that. Frankly I didn't want to eat in there either. It wasn't
a pleasant place.
