Tierrasanta Mexican Food
Mexican Fare

When my mother-in-law, Joyce, first introduced me to Tierrasanta Mexican Food in February of this year, it was tough not to gain a genuine appreciation for Tierrasanta Mex's authentic decor, friendly service, and delicious Mexican food. Since then, I have been waiting in anticipation for a chance to visit this restaurant again.

I ordered two items yesterday: the chimichanga and the pollo con mole for a take-out total of $23. I remembered that the very first time I tried both dishes, I was blown away by the flavors; this time around, I found both dishes to be quite a disappointment. On the plus side, the chimichanga was enormous, filled with a mix of shredded chicken and red sauce; however, the chimichanga did not have a distinctive flavor and was rather bland.

Ditto on the pollo con mole: a mass of shredded chicken sitting in a bed of tart mole sauce. For an outstanding mole, I'll accept bland chicken, but if both are lacking in flavor, it makes for a very tasteless meal. Sad to say, Tierrasanta Mexican Food is a hit-and-miss diner with very steep prices, and I will have to try this restaurant a third time to rule it out completely.
