The salads that we did get with our orders were a few pieces of arugula, a few tomatoes and a few onions. The jalapeno Poppers and taste of the slopper were the only reason they got the extra star. We put sauces of our own on the burger and sandwich. For $60 I'm absolutely blown away by the horrible quality of the food. I can't believe it has this high of a rating.

My favorite part is the portions. You get so much food!!! But what keeps me coming back is the vermicelli. I could literally drink it in a Hydroflask 24/7. I'm telling you-delicious. Most of the plates let you choose vermicelli and beans, but I always ask for double the vermicelli (as you can see my plate drowning in it's heaven). The Chile rellenos were the best I've ever had. We like putting the salsa on our main dishes as well so ask for extra! I recommend ordering a bit of everything and sharing because you need to try as much as possible. Growing up in the valley, there's not many authentic restaurants, so when I visit, I always have to go to Mexico City. Oh and FYI they only take cash! They do have an ATM there though!

Made the trip out with a couple of my no good grown kids. Looks like they just added on a new dining room area. Later on a weekend night, not busy, we were seated right away...and then I felt like the waitresses must have been fighting about who would wait on us because more than five minutes later, was just about at the point where I was thinking about hitting the road, when someone finally came up and waited on our table. Not like the waitresses weren't waiting on other people, it's just no one was waiting on us. Anyway after that, the service was pretty good except at the end where it took awhile to get the check. Food was good. I got the chicken fried steak and it was pretty good. Breading didn't crack away from the steak, the sides were good, and the gravy was really good. Salad was simple but also really good. Others got the pub steak, and I think one of the burritos. All said the food was good. We all got some bread pudding to go which was really good later on. Other than the service blip, it was all good. Another place I would return to.

That was definitely NOT the case with Carmen's... about a block west of the main drag through town, we spotted the restaurant when we stopped to use the restroom at a local fast food joint. Everyone was hungry, the road was feeling longer than we'd planned, and the possibility of a cold drink and a hot plate saw us walking over to this little restaurant. Inside, we were seated and quickly enjoying chips and salsa. The kids ordered their usual bean burritos, Mrs. Picante ordered enchiladas, and I ordered the carnitas. Everything was very good, served with rice and beans... really tasty and fresh beans-- if these weren't made from scratch with a big scoop of Manteca, then they fooled me. Goodness knows when the road will take us back through Las Animas, but if we do find ourselves there again, we're heading here again for sure.

Come on guys, a little heat would be nice! The host was nice yet somewhat quiet. The food came out quickly and was hot. We shared a carne asada burrito (probably the best SoCal burrito this side of San Diego) and an order of taquitos. The salsa bar is nice, but only the green jalapeno one had any heat. The pineapple agua fresca was very refreshing. This will definitely be our go-to Mexican when we're in the area!

I can't even pick a favorite. I would get all three again in a heartbeat. Hubs had the enchiladas and I tried a bite with the red sauce and it was so yummy. He felt there was way too much globby cheese on the enchiladas- which after looking at his plate, I would agree. Their flavors are spot on though. My little's quesadilla also had too much greasy cheese, in my opinion, but she did eat it!
