El Charro Chicken Elegante Cheesecrisp

I tried a Chicken Elegante Cheesecrisp from El Charro Cafe.

The chicken on the cheesecrisps tasted like the usual chicken that comes on pizza. I thought that the avocado tasted pretty good, and the bacon on the cheese crisps went well with the chicken.

It definitely tasted better than a quesadilla to me. I usually get a headache from eating quesadillas, so I was pretty happy that when I tried this quesadilla-like food, I didn't get a headache. I really liked that it was very crispy, and even after warming it up in the microwave and eating it later, the crispiness was still there.

REVIEW – La Salsa Fresh Mexican Grill: Nachos with Steak

Nachos with Steak from La Salsa Mexican Grill
Range of Salsas at La Salsa

We ate some nachos with steak from La Salsa Mexican Grill for dinner.

I always get the nachos with only cheese and meat and with guacamole on the side because I don't like the beans, roja sauce, and sour cream with my nachos. I also prefer scooping the guacamole with my nachos, rather than eating them mixed in with the cheese.

Sometimes when I go to La Salsa they burn the nachos a little bit, but this time the nachos were perfect. The nachos were crunchy and tasty. They were thin nachos, but not super thin. The cheese was just standard melted jack and cheddar shredded cheeses, which I liked.

The steak was a little dry, but they still had a nice seasoning and tasted pretty good. I would have preferred more steak with the nachos.

The guacamole I asked for on the side was delicious. It tasted fresh, and I liked the avocado and tomato chunks that were in it.

I tried six of the different salsas from the salsa bar with the nachos. I tend to like sweeter salsas over saltier ones. Of the ones I tried, this is a list in order of my favorite to least favorite:

  • 1. Mango Salsa - A little spicy, had the sweet taste of mango with mango chunks (my favorite).

  • 2. Buena Salsa - Dark red salsa, tomato-y, a little watery, similar to salsas from grocery stores

  • 3. Avocado Salsa - Tastes like a creamier and saltier guacamole

  • 4. Deliciosa Salsa - A little sweet, but not very sweet. It was a little watery and onion-y.

  • 5. Roasted Tomato Salsa - Spicy and salty with a tomato-y and cilantro-y taste.

  • 6. Mexicana Salsa - Just tastes like a bunch of chopped tomatoes with salt added.

    Taco Bell Soft Taco

    I had some soft tacos from Taco Bell for dinner.

    The tortillas were nice and soft, and they tasted good. The tortillas weren't sour like the ones that they often sell at grocery stores, and the tortillas weren't dry, either.

    The cheese, lettuce, and beef on the inside of the taco was OK; the beef tasted good and had a savory taco seasoning taste, but the beef was a little mushy.
