Casa de Elian--new Mexican on Metropolitan
We ate here sat. nite for the first time. Since FH was in need of a great and affordable mexican restaurant I've been wanting to try to this place for a while now, but was scared off by the reviews on here regarding the chairs. I have a really bad back and just had surgery this spring. But guess what? I was fine, I sat on the booth side and was as comfortable as I ever am and my husband was fine in the chair. Anyway the food was pretty good, the chips were great and fresh, the soup was very flavorful, the tacos were yummy, the only downfall was the encilladas which had a great flavor but the chicken was very dry. It was fun to BYOB and made the whole meal pretty cheap. I would definately give it another try. Also, I just wanted to say how impressed we were with the owner. I guess the waiter/s were a no show on sat. so he was the host/busboy/waiter all by himslf. Even with a full house and only him the service was good. So congrats to you for doing it all! Well done and good luck with your new place!
