I agree with the 3.5 rating that the restaurant had when I looked it up on zomato- not the greatest, but not too bad.
The hot salsa wasn't. I didn't try the mild, but the hot sauce was pretty much tomato paste with a little bit of spices. Chips were good.
I had the Thursday lunch special, which was a junior Monterey for $5.88! And the junior Monterrey still filled your plate up.
The Monterey was a bit heavy on lettuce and beans, and a little short on cheese, so I asked for some extra cheese, and my waitress brought me a little salsa Bowl full of cheese for $0.99. The cheese was soft, melty, and salty, I wouldn't doubt it was shredded American cheese, but it wasn't bad. I had the mild pork, and it was okay. There was a fair amount of meat on the Monterey for a supposedly "Junior" Monterrey.
All in all, I wasn't super impressed, but I would stop in for lunch on a Thursday to get the same deal. Not bad at all for the money.
Also, my waitress was very quick and friendly, and my water was never empty. I tipped her a little over 20%.
Can't believe Cholitas is rated so low. No way sane people think Connies is better. Granted asking for the house sauce is required but the dinners are way better. The ham flautas are excellent.
They are great! where did the bad reviews come from?. Seriously people? Is it competition writing these? I have been eating here for years and they have great food! Service is always good.....and, when I dine in I always have to wait to order dinner otherwise it comes out promptly and hot while I am still chomping on their chips. For the hater who held their queso upsided down....Yup ....the queso is thick...(thanks for not watering it down, y'all)...I always add some of their salsa to it Good food....great service and reasonable prices. Just goes to show you cant always trust what you read....the other reviews are way off.
