Baja Fresh Food Poisoning at Gresham, Oregon. Two Mahi-mahi Fish tacos at 9pm April 16 2009: in 12 hours exactly I became sick,
This wicked fish poisoning lasted for four days and I feel better but, the pain from the gas and bloating are still causing discomfort into day Five. Mexicans are Idiots they want to trash this country and are not welcome to turn every small town into a Tijuana trash hive. Just last year my friend walk into a Mexican Restraunt in Portland and witnessed a stupid Mexican using a Toilet Brush to clean the whole sink. Hire one and you get what you deserve! Shoddy Crap work with a side order of dangerous ignorant working conditions. How come Baja Fresh only hires Mexicans? talk about discrimination!

Qdoba’s flour tortillas are rubbery and gross, their onions (in the onions and peppers) are waaay too overly ripe and pungent which can be painful on the esophagus after eating and well into the evening. I discovered this after trying Qdoba for the first time at the Third and 53rd location, and I was so pissed I actually complained online – those tortillas were egregious!! They sent me a coupon in the mail for a free meal, and I went back in good faith. Nothing had changed, still sucked. No Qdoba for me ever again! People behind the counter were really nice though.

By the by, those of you who like Chipotle (hey, I’m not judging) just check the caloric content of what you’re eating… those burritos can each 1000 calories a piece and I’m not kidding.

codenamekaren, I ate at a La Salsa this weekend in St. Louis. And got food poisoning. From the factory fish burrito. And was painfully unimpressed with the offerings at the salsa bar.

Why are we clamoring for more chains when all this can be solved by taco wagons?

Green Cactus might do well here, and their food is much better than the other chains, but even after many years they still don’t have the rhythm down — there’s a fairly long wait for the food even when they’re not too busy.

While their lack of factory-ness is probably part of why their food is better, that’d be a killer with Midtown-level volumes/demand. They’d probably crash and burn from the stress, or the wait would be hours long.

Unless they picked a hard-to-find location like Pompano has, where the slowness kind of self-regulates.

Moe’s is actually pretty sweet compared to Qdoba/Chipolte… their queso “a.k.a. cup of fat” is phenomenal on the chicken nachos!!!

I agree that Green Cactus would make a killing… I miss that place so much….

I would not call the 3 cheese queso Pump cheese. It is actually quite good. If you want pump cheese, go to 7/11

For me, a clean Mexican restaurant makes me question the quality and authenticity of the food. That being said, Chipotle, while not great, never leaves me disappointed.

I want a Taco Cabana, even if it’s only open for post-drinking.

I’ll second a Wahoo’s Fish Tacos. Anyone want to open up a franchise with me?

There was a green cactus in Forrest, too bad I was the only person who went there. It was the only reason for me to go to the NYSC there.
