The Food of the Day

So looking at La Jerezana’s menu I decided to get what they call the “Torta.” This is a sandwich that consists of a choice of meat, mayonnaise, avocado, onion, cilantro, lettuce, cheese, tomato, and jalapeño. I elected to go for Carne Asada as I heard from some of my friends that its good. It was about $13 bucks, but it was a decent sized sandwich so not a terrible price. The staff was nice I did order to-go so I didn’t get much of an experience with the staff but for the time I was there they seemed nice.

The Grades

So for price wise I’d say it was more on the expensive side because $13 dollars for a sandwich is a little pricey so that gives it a 5/10 for price. The Torta took about 35 minutes to come out, and I’ve ordered Mexican food before and have never waited that long. When I walked in the person was nice however and as soon as I got in they handed me my food with that being said I’ll give it a 5.5/10. So lastly the taste and I have never had anything like this and definitely was something new. It was very messy to eat and then just quite interesting overall. The ingredients all went well but I feel like it could’ve been better and that landed it a 7.3/10.

Summary:

• Service: 5.5/10: Friendly, food took a while to come out
• Price: 5/10: Overpriced for the quantity and quality of food. 
• Food: 7.3/10: Not bad but it could’ve been better
