It's really disappointing to go out and pay for a meal that you know you could cook much better yourself. Vegetarian enchiladas did look like microwaved lasagna. Instead of refried beans (with my DIY taco) I was given baked beans as they'd run out! They didn't even ask if this substitution would be ok. They had also run out of chilli (in a Mexican! at 7.30pm!). Iceberg lettuce was unfresh, warm and floppy, and the grated cheese consisted of a few tiny dried out strands in a miniature pot. The salsa and guacamole were good though, and overall the whole meal was at least cheap. However, we could not recommend this restaurant based on our experience last night. Which is a shame because it's quite a cute place with friendly staff. I had a family meal there last night (Sunday 12 Nov 06) and completely agree with this review.
