The food definitely hits the spot when you have no other place to go. You can get your quick fix. But whatever happen to their fried rice and chicken wings!? They just gave me plain yellow rice and 4 piece chicken… which use to be 6 !? Talk about a recession… I didn't even get any vegs with the rice. As for the tortilla dish. It was filling and good. Can't complain…Did they always mash the beans? I don't recall.. But I guess that works. Sadly I have to knock 2 stars down. 1 for parking and the other for taking so long. 2 orders… in 20 mins!? Really? Guys need to speed up on the cooking skills.
So this place is really a Chinese take out joint that also sells tex/mex food. Don't expect anything authentic, Chinese or Mexican. However, that doesn't mean their food is bad. It's ok as a take out spot. It's standard American Chinese take out food. Good for your basics, like fried chicken wings, beef with broccoli, wonton soup. That sort of thing. The Mexican food is also nothing special. However, I must say the tortillas they make are fresh to order. They are quite delicious. In fact they are so good I could eat the tortilla by itself, no meat, no sauce, nothing. Yeah go their and try one.
As I am driving my vehicle down banged up Union Tpke in the hunt for anything store front that resembles a food service location, my eyes spot a fresh tortilla grill. When I walked in, the place was very dark and very cold… Annnnnd.. Serving Chinese food!… Granted there were some TexMex options, but the dominant food items were from a Chinese food menu. The to go menu/same as the regular menu, reads somewhat as follows: Chinese- Moo Shu, Chow Mein, Lo Mein, Enchiladas, Nachos. I thought to myself that my Chimichanga order had to be changed, as quickly as possible. The kitchen was clearly arranged like a Chinese food location past/present, chefs and all, so I pointed to the early 1980's illuminated plastic, square sign right above the counter with the pretty colors of food. It was a photo of Chicken and Garlic Sauce and I also threw in a side of steamed dumplings just in case the picture was, what one comes to expect from a picture.. The chicken in my Garlic Chicken was a glossy rubbery, off opaque colored mache, the vegetables were synthetic version–glossy rubbery,, resistant, colorful letdown. The brown rice was the highlight,but looked and tasted as if intentionally under cooked, cooked to order from there then re-reheated , throw in another RE… The steamed dumplings were the size of my shoe and there were 8 of them. Huge portion can not undo poor quality and rapidly aging ingredients. The beef inside the dumplings looked like the back end of a mole as he scurried away into his cave to avoid mornings sunlight. The table top's were tacky, in color and texture, like a stretch marbled pattern of a garage sale bowling ball.. The chefs working the lunch shift look like they have not had a day off since the day they hung the photo's of the picture of the food dishes above the counter. Sorry to say, but probably the worst Chinese food experience I have had to date.
I would rate this restaurant two and a half stars.
This restaurant serves both Chinese-American as well as Tex-Mex food. The menu is huge since both cuisines are served.
I opted for a chicken burrito. The service was fast. The price was cheap: my order came out to $6.30 with tax included. I found the quality of most of the ingredients to be adequate; the only ingredient I was suspicious of was the guacamole. I would advise against ordering guacamole here.
I was also unhappy that my burrito was not rolled.
OK, so we had the hankering for "something different" but didn't want to venture too far from home. So…we gave L.F.T. a try. We picked up a pound of chicken fajitas & a pound of steak fajitas. They each came 12 "tortillas" (per lb.) as well as some onions & green peppers, black beans, and some salsa. Aaaand that was about it – no sour cream, guacamole, or cheese..all of which would have cost extra.
So the first thing I have to say is that I am a HUGE lover of fajitas but not to the point where I'd call myself a snob. I mean I generally give some margin for variety and flavor – I just want them to be tasty and generally satisfying. That being said, both the chicken & the steak fajitas lacked in the flavor department and dousing it in the salsa wasn't much help because it, too, lacked any real flavor. The salsa was also pretty thin and on the bland side. The onions and green peppers that they gave were barely cooked and certainly not slightly charred and flavorful, as real fajita accompaniments should be. The "tortillas" can hardly be called that – they felt more like a thin pita or naan in that they were fluffier/thicker than real tortillas. Another delightful aspect of proper fajitas is the textural and temperature contrast among all the ingredients and this lacked in that department, too. Big time.
The beans were so-so and if we didn't top it all off with some sriracha sauce (yeah, really!), the whole meal would have been a huge disappointment. I guess I'll chalk this up to some kind of fusion cuisine. Oddly enough, the sriracha amped up the flavor and made the meal somewhat enjoyable but it's almost a cardinal sin to put sriracha on Mexican or Tex-Mex cuisine so they don't get any points for that. Plus, it was our sriracha, which further reduces their score.
If we check out this spot again, it won't be for the Mexican food!
