Sometimes food ain't
pretty. Sometimes it isn't presented on a white plate with swirled
decorations and garnishes. Sometimes everything is sort of beige,
brown and gray. Of course, food doesn't need to be colorful to be
good. Nowhere is this truer than at San Loco. The chicken looks like
something that has been put through a blender, and the unadorned quesadilla
looks as if it might be made of paper. I was amazed when I but into
the thing that it actually tasted like something I'd want to be eating.
The authentic Mexican food is pretty good, in fact. If I lived in
the neighborhood I'm sure this would certainly be my Mexican quick-fix
joint of choice. The place itself doesn't inspire confidence when
you first walk in, though, as it's essentially a hole-in-the-wall
painted gaudy colors--and we certainly can't vouch for the joint's
cleanliness. Get your shit to go and enjoy some good grub in the semi-squalor
of your own home. [MF] |
