NO BUENO!

We went to St .Louis Mills Mall tonight to watch one of Kyle's friends play hockey. The game was at 7:00 so we decided we would go a little early and eat at a restaurant there before the game. We hadn't had Mexican since we were in Oklahoma...so we decided to try Chevy's Fresh Mex. We had heard good reviews from lot of folks up here-so we thought we'd give it a go.

Now...we both LOVE Mexican food...and growing up in Oklahoma there is a fair share of AUTHENTIC Mexican food places. After living in Oklahoma City for the past two and a half years, we had DELICIOUS Mexican at our finger tips... Ted's, Pablano's, Casa Pierco, Alfredo's...

Our last Mexican experience was at Alfredo's in Moore, Oklahoma. It is absolutely INCREDIBLE! I love Jennifer's Avocado Enchiladas and Kyle is a fan on Lupe's Tacos. The chips, salsa, and queso are always hot and the tortillas are endless.. when you think you are unable to eat another bite, you get a wiff of the piping hot sopilla. MMMmmm...

Now let's go back to Chevy's Fresh Mex.

We enter the restaurant in a pleasant mood for several reasons.. 1. We are hungry. 2. We are going out to eat. and 3. We are going out to eat Mexican. We are greeted by an unmotivated hostess. She looks at us like we are inconveniencing her. We get seated and are pleased about our location. I am a fan of people watching so it was nice that she seated us where we could watch the mall shoppers. After we were sitting down our waiter come over. He was less inspired that the hostess was. He took our drink orders and left. When he returned, he brought our waters and "the goods." On our table he placed a basket of luke warm chips and ashtray looking like salsa. NO QUESO, NO TORTILLAS? We tried the chips and salsa and decide that the salsa taste about as good as it looked. We looked at the menu. Some of the items sound different and tasty...so we went ahead and ordered... hoping that our food was better. We decided to split Chevy's Super Cinco. It included 1 taco, 2 enchilada, 1 tamale, and 1 chimi-all with "special" sauces. Everything was just ehhh. The special sauces were not that special. Needless to say we were not pleased.

Oh, how we long for some authentic Oklahoma Mexican food.
