Update: I've changed my mind. Read the updated post here.
This place is consistently voted as best Mexican food in Las Vegas. I'll admit it. I don't know what makes real authentic Mexican food, but if this is it than I don't like it. This is the blandest Mexican food that you can find. Perhaps that is the secret. I think spicy food scares a lot of gringos. This is certainly non-threatening food in that the only spice they apparently know how to use is salt.
Greg's mother, who thinks that steamed carrots are spicy enough, loves the place. She, by the way, once referred to a bell pepper as very spicy and refers to mild salsa as "burny hot".
I seemed to remember something made with ground beef reminding me of McCormick taco seasoning mix, the same mix my mother used to use in the 70's when Mexican food was still considered exotic, rather than a staple.
If the thought of eating a jalapeño terrifies you, than this is the Mexican restaurant for you. Eat there with this in mind: There is a lot of flavor in spicy food. You must train yourself to tolerate spicier foods, but the reward is delicious...well that and possible digestive ailments.
