I wouldn’t recommend the chicken crispy taco plate. The shell is not homemade & if it was, it wasn’t of great quality. Could be better. Something about the cheese too wasn’t great, low quality. I’ve ordered many other dishes that are delish just don’t recommend this is all.
Great Menudo, did not disappoint; homemade tostadas and salsa came a little late but they were good. My son and I had to steal some menudo from my husband's bowl cause 1) it looked too good to not to, and 2) it was A LOT of menudo!! I had Eggs Your Way and it was good. I liked that the egg was not overcooked. Beans and hashbrowns were good as well. I dont know how, but they vanished from my plate. Tortilla de harina and maiz are homemade, super happy about that. Flour tortilla was really big, the size of the plate. Loved that I could order à la carte for the 6yo. Just a pancake and a bacon strip. 15yo had chicken and waffles, said the waffle was a little too sweet, but overall, good. We liked that they brought a small pitcher for lemonade refills and also an extra thermos for our coffee. Service was ok, every table was taken and only 3 waitresses for probably 16- 18 tables. (More waitresses this time around) Restaurant is clean. What we didnt like is that they put tons of ice in our sons lemonade, so he had maybe 1/3 lemonade in his glass. I believe it was $3.25 for the lemonade. (But then, she set a small sized pitcher - maybe 20 ounces in size - of lemonade at the table for him, filled to the top again, with ice). Missing my fork to eat, it was about 5 mins before she came back to our table to let her know that I needed my fork to eat my eggs. They may be short staffed, and that's understandable. Other than those minor deets, all good.
Update from my post 😮😏🤔 some things have definitely changed. On two separate occasions, the salsa for the chips and dip was no longer what it was before (homemade). No longer authentic Mexican salsa. More of canned sweet tomatoes with diced onion and cilantro. Very Americanized salsa. 😏 Disappointed. She brought the salsa but the chips didn't arrive for another 10 minutes. Menudo was very grease heavy, unlike before how it was clean and light. We noticed only two waitresses today, January 1st. Not sure if they were understaffed or they had the day off but service was still good. Wait times for food was average, maybe about 25 minutes before we got our food.
3rd update for Blanquitas. Came back after trying a different restaurant for a couple of months. Service was better as they had more wait staff for the moderately full restaurant. Food was good. Salsa was left at our table but didn't get the tostadas until 10 minutes later. Food was great. Ordered breakfast plates and they did not disappoint. Tortillas are still homemade, fresh and soft. My 7 year old ordered an enchilada plate, it comes with 3 enchiladas and he cleaned the plate, so that says a lot about the enchiladas. They continue to be a good breakfast/lunch place for our family.
Anaricano - Killer Breakfast!
Ridiculous bursting with flavor and enough for two. Coming from New York City breakfast was sp cheap it felt like it was free.
$20 for two peoplr with a generous grauity.
Very clean inside! Friendly waitstaff, the food is big portions. I had the Tex Mex Burrito, almost more than you can eat, but I did! They bring you a rice puffing before breakfast.
An upgrade on basic breakfast fare - a little pricier than other options in the Valley, but food and service was good. Try the french toast! There's also a donut/desert place located within the restaurant - I was confused at first if it was the right building because both businesses are written on the door, but both are located in the same building, which is predominantly the restaurant.
