Mocajetes Mexican Restaurant
Posted on May 10, 2023 by Ching under Food and Drink, Travel.
After a late night of playing and watching friends play, there were very few restaurants still open. We found ourselves at Mocajetes.
This place was so authentic they didn’t even serve queso. Apparently queso is an American invention and it’s not even a true Mexican food thing.
They served chips and pico de gallo instead of salsa. First bowl of pico on the house but then you were on your own. Since we couldn’t get queso, I ordered guacamole instead. It was really good!
The pico looked super fresh. As did the guacamole. But I really wanted some queso, though. You can’t go to a Mexican restaurant and not have queso, even if it’s not really a Mexican thing.
Anyway, the service was slow but the food was excellent. I really liked my Mexican-style pork chops. Although, everyone was making fun of me because I told them to leave pretty much everything off that made it even remotely Mexican. The pork chops had really good flavor, though.
Regarding the service, Brian concluded that the service was slow for us because we were a bunch of gringos. All the other tables around us seemed to have great service but they were also all Hispanic. I don’t know. Could be a coincidence. I still really liked the place, though, and would probably eat there again next year.
Until next time, GNG.
