El Tenampa

I really loved this place and the whole atmosphere. From the food, to the women making tortillas, to the old relics inside. I ordered a breakfast dish. It was huevos rancheros. They were so good! I cleaned the plate. I enjoyed my meal. The waitress was nice and charismatic. The thing that makes this place come alive is the décor and the hand made tortillas.
Whatever the hell they put in the salsas were good. Both were red sauce and spicy. One was made pure with chile de arbol, the other one was a mixture of I don’t know what.
The eggs had a real good sauce to them that tasted like it had some type of spaghetti sauce but in Mexican salsa form, if that makes sense. I absolutely loved that the eggs were on top of a tortilla. The little potatoes looking tater tots were good. For what its worth they are nice. The beans take like everywhere, nothing special there.
The only complaint are the people selling good to you. If you aren’t a patient person it will piss you off. First you get the people selling cheese, then the people (supposedly deaf) selling little packs of goods. They leave it by your table and then come back for them. You don’t say anything if you dont want to buy it. Just leave it alone. Then at the end you get a Filipino guy selling god knows what. It’s like let me eat in peace. I wish the owners would realize they are disturbing their customers.
I do think that the uniforms need an update and maybe some type later on the décor can use a face lift. The parking sucks somewhat, but tolerable. The prices are good for what you get. Weird thing was that the place had American football on tv lol.

The food is great but the service not so much. We only got our food handed to us and a lot of attitude because we did not leave a tip ! Great cooks ! but the rest of the staff the definition of bitchiness !

This has been one of my favorite places to go to, the food has always been great as for the customer service … they need improvement
They have karaōke on the weekends which would be ok but they overdue it, there’s just too much noise, the restaurant itself is not that big so the music volume should not be on full blast! I end up leaving with a headache.
Other than that I recommend the caldo 7 mares & cóctel de camarón

Don’t worry be happy.
The poor waitress seemed so depressed or moody better yet said.
I didn’t want to ask for anything, I didn’t want her to go all psycho ninja on my ass.
I didn’t receive 1 smile from this lady. The whole time I was there I just wanted to leave.
On with the food. I had a Caldo de albondiga, honestly though it tasted like it was from a can. It wasn’t all that great. Even I could make this soup better.
The cheesy salsa was
It was a spicy salsa with cheese melted inside.
$ 2.00 for a canned soda because they don’t have fountain drinks.
Speedy service is a fact at this joint
Solicitors are welcome
Beer is served cold
Overall this place is clean
For now this places doesn’t meet the standards for Mexican, perhaps Salvadorian.
I wouldn’t recommend this places at all.

In futile attempt to support a spirit of Cinco de Mayo me and my dear kitteh eneded up at the friendly corner of Bonanza and Eastern. I’ve been to this fine establishment a couple years ago and I didn’t recall having any unforeseen consequences so I thought that it shouldn’t be bad this time either.
I’m not going to talk much about food which is a solid OK for a mexican (or in this case mexican-​salvadorean) restaurant except the fact that shrimp in my fajitas was a little overcooked… What I’m going to talk is about the «dining experience» itself.
Sometime between our sitting down and first appearance of the waitress we got to witness enterprising individual dressed in saggy pants (and colorfully displayed underwear) peddling fake perfumes. He avoided our table probably thinking that we are not likely to be his customers… however, next businessmen was not as intimidated and proudly offered to purchase screen copy of Avengers for mere $ 3. I had to politely decline because we already planned to part with $ 30 same night for 3D IMAX Dolby Surround bone rattling experience at the movie theater.
So I thought… wrapping my shrimp fajitas in a hand-​made tortilla, how good does it get? Can I possibly get a hair cut with my meal here? And right at this moment another vendor showed up in front of my face offering (I assume hand-​made too) rosaries and bracelets. Great! It was already like a flea market that comes to you.
What I really needed was a wireless router so I really started thinking that I can save a trip to Fry’s and just get it while snacking on chips and salsa but no luck… all we got on a way out is another smiling individual with half a head of cheese «Queso, queso?». Uhmm… I’ll think about it next time.
