Jorrge's Restaurante Cantina

I'm normally very generous with my reviews and especially of small locally owned businesses. But I really do not have many nice things to say about this place. The Good: the staff were very nice and the chips were warm. The Bad: all the rest of the food and the margarita. The arroz con pollo was bone dry and tasted like a boxed rice mix. The queso was extremely runny. The veggies in the fajitas were barely cooked. The tortillas were dry, hard, and wrapped in paper (as opposed to foil) making me think they were warmed in a microwave. The margarita tasted like lemon dish soap. The beans weren't cooked through. The Ugly: the salsa. I don't know what was in it but it did NOT taste good. All in all, we will not be going back. It's one thing for a single dish to not be great or food to be mediocre from time to time. But this food was just *bad*. Nothing was seasoned or even a little spicy, besides the chorizo. There are way too many good restaurants in the area to bother giving them a second

Jorrge's Cantina has a great atmosphere, ice cold beer in frosted mugs and excellent, friendly service. Their chips and salsa is good. The salsa has a unique smoked flavor. Unfortunately, the entrees we ordered had no flavor and were an absolute let down. Also, the shrimp was like pre cooked and added. No seasoning.

Jorrge's Restaurante Cantina has very poor service. I’ve been there several times because I’m from Albuquerque and I love Mexican food. I also like supporting small businesses. The owner and waitress spend their time catering to their drunken customers and neglect the rest of their customers in the restaurant area. This has happened several times, so I just don’t go their anymore. The food is OK but not good enough to put up
