Why Do I Continue To Patronize Crap 'Mexican' Restaurants Around The World? {Gadling}

Jun 19th 2012 4:51PM The worst Mexican food I ever had now that I think about and have recovered from the illness, was at El Torito Grill. That's El Torito Grill, not El Torito. I ordered my usual cheese enchilada, taco and rice and beans. The beans looked like they should have been flushed down the toilet and tasted as bad too. The rice tasted moldy. The enchilada was dry and the taco had something in it that felt rubbery and turned out to be the cheese I told them to leave out. Fortunately I got home before I lost it. Their receipt gave me a website to evaluate my experience. I did. I have never heard from them about it. My first experience at El Torito Grill wasn't good either. I should have realized there was a reason that I hadn't been back in almost 20 years.

I thought for a while that the Mexican food I had in Atlanta would be the worst only El Torito Grill topped it. You can't fault a hard prefab taco shell filled with sloppy Joe mix, red beans and rice, and a hush puppy. it was good for what it was - southern food.
