Viva la Villa
Three co-workers and I went to Villa Tepeyac (10005 Rush St., South El Monte) for lunch today.
It wasn't magnificent, but I enjoyed my food. The service is fast and friendly, and the prices are reasonable. I'm feeling comfortable enough with certain co-workers now to whip out the iPhone at lunch (but I've yet to muster the courage to put my iPhone right on top of their meals).

The soup that came with my meal was interesting. Tasty broth, but I'll opt for salad next time. The gigantic vegetables were just too hard to handle.
My taco and enchilada plate ($8.75) was satisfying. The taco was very good. The fresh-fried shell glistened and had a great crunch, and the cheese was lovely. My enchilada was a bit too salty, though.
I know we'll be back. Even though this was nothing extraordinary, I'm still looking forward to it. Almost everybody at Villa Tepeyac was Mexican, so I conclude the food was fairly authentic. And, you know me -- like I said before, I could eat Mexican everyday!

ReplyDeleteThose vegetables are out of control.
ReplyDeletei could eat mexican twice every day. i could not eat veggies that large too often, though.
ReplyDeletethat soup is, um, different. i like veggies and all, but if they're gonna be that big, i'd rather have them in a salad too.
ReplyDeleteI could really go for some cheese enchiladas right now. And those veggies scare me.
ReplyDeleteWhoa. Who puts an entire cob of corn in soup? I wish Mexican was diet food. Then I would be one skinny biotch.
ReplyDeletedude, i really love that your lunch escapades have not ceased with your new job.
ReplyDeleteThose veggies are OOC, but the meal looked good. I might have to get some Mexican food today!
