Little Mexico

**imported_elp6n** · March 4th, 2009, 08:22 PM

The Mi Finca menu is not the same as the Little Mexico & Monterrey restaurants menus (you wouldn't know though, since you dont eat at Little Mexico - like you already said).

There wasn't anything in the paper about them recently - no food/health scandal if that's what you're implying. Like I said - all restaurant inspection reports are available online.

As for food poisoning, it's not very easy to pinpoint the source without a Health Dept investigation. A person that has food poisoning on Wednesday could be having symptoms from anything they ate from any place (even home - where the WORST food handling practices are) on Monday or Tuesday. Add to that, rarely does ONE single person get food poisoning from an establishment - contamination is rarely confined to a single dish. Typically it's multiple folks, in which case the health dept becomes involved. If he was "carried out" as you stated I a$$ume a Dr or ER was involved? If that's the case then they HAVE to notify the health dept and considering their health dept reports mention nothing of the sort I'm guessing there's reason to doubt the "Little Mexico poisoned him" front.

I only say this because it annoys me when people (anyone, not picking on B13) jump to conclusions and spread rumors about establishments when there's no fact to back it up. This applies to any establishment for me.
(How many have heard the new fun Asia Cafe rumor, for example?)

Who mentioned perfect English? Enough English to be able to take the order should be expected tho. Little Mexico isn't authentic Mex BTW.

LOL on Asia cafe rumor. Haven't heard it but would imagine it would involve some sort of 4 legged animal.

I never said one time I haven't ate there, I have several times - take out and inside. Stopped eating there after that incident, which was about 5/6 months ago. I didn't see any difference at all in the menus, same names and same food. I prefer Mi Finca and recommend them over Little Mexico everytime. You are absolutely right, yeah it could have been something else he ate the day before(which was the last time he had ate) Now I believe its Little Mexico because there is hardly any cooking done here at home, which means its usually snacking around on things - that usually what he does. So I believe that it was the Little Mexico food he ate a few ours prior, rather then the Little Debbie creampies here at home.

When you come here to America. and set up a business, it should be required that you can speak enough to take my order. Like I said, not being mean..but I don't like repeating myself a million times and having to explain every bit because the person taking my order doesn't speak english hardly. I'm not asking for authenticity, I'm asking for my food with as little h***le as possible...I'm paying them for their service, I want it with a smile and decent comprehension of my language.

It's actually a pet peeve of mine when people use that stereotype of some international restaurants.

They may eat that stuff in their country but I doubt they do it over here.

Wrong. Just wrong. I don't even like eating out much anymore because I know/seen things that go on. I've seen these things happen in alot more prestigous kitchens than a Mexican place also. There are all kinds of variables included as to why I'm saying this, but I'm pretty sure you are better off eating at your house.

Also any corner that can be cut in a kitchen to save even a insignificant amount of money will be done. Goes back to the old "sell it or smell it' saying.

I've seen some mystery meat in the special la casa before at the el potrillo in GC, and I became sick after that. My buddy did the same thing about a month later, and didn't even know it had happened to me. I won't order the beef there anymore.

Hell, I like the "beef" at El Pot...I don't care if it is dog or cat...it's tender and tastes good.

Maybe it was all that snacking on LD creampies with all the sugar/preservatives that got their stomach raw to start with, and then eating spicy carb-loaded mexican just wasn't the smartest thing to eat for someone with that problem to begin with.

I've seen that happen to people too.
