UPDATE 6/29/20 My hubby and I have been pretty happy with Aceitunos Mexican Restaurant, once again we found ourselves doing the drive-thru thing like many other people were doing as well. So my updated review isn't by any means a bad one, more like an overall suggestion for an improvement that would scale leaps and bounds, in my opinion. This evening I had half order of their super nachos (chicken) the size was not an issue at all, plenty of chips, tons of chicken, pico de gallo, guacamole and a tiny amount of cheese, and the beans??? If there were beans on my nachos I never found them, and the cheese was almost none existent, call me crazy, when I get nachos I want a lot of cheese, beans I could take or leave, but cheese is a must. The very definition of Nachos, coming from merriam-webster.com, is tortilla chips and melted cheese. So please add more cheese! My husband had the Carne Asada Ranchero special, it looked good from what I could see, and he said it was tasty, and he was happy the meat was much leaner then what their burrito usually has. Overall there was plenty of food, and he was satisfied with his meal.
*honorable mention is their rice, not that I had it this time, I have had many times in the past, and it's definitely something I'll order in the future.
3/7/2020 We decided to eat here again for lunch, as I mentioned in my prior review I would have the crunchy taco again, and I did, and it was great! However, I wanted to try something else they had to offer, which was one of their Mulitas. I decided to try their grilled chicken Mulita, diced pieces laying between two mini tortillas that also housed cheese, onion, and cilantro, I asked for extra onion and cilantro it was decent, but not one of my favorites. If you still can't visualize what it looks like, it reminded me of a mini Quesada on steroids. I can see several people liking these, though, especially if you're a Quesada fan. My husband had a Carne Asada Bowl. It included beans, rice, pico de gallo, lettuce, guacamole, cheese, enchilada sauce, and sour cream; he said it was good and reminded him of a giant burrito in a bowl, obviously no shell. The size to me looked decent, and it was large enough to fill him. The little restaurant remains clean, no dirty tables or unswept floors and the staff, friendly and mannerly.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Welcome new kids on the block! On February 20th, Aceituno's restaurant opened its doors. We happen to be the fourth or fifth person in line as this little restaurant first opened its doors. The appearance of a fresh, new, clean restaurant was reassuring. The employees were friendly and clean. And listening to people, everyone seemed excited to have them here!
Aceituno's has quite the menu of many different house-made items, I don't know if everything is home-made, but I know some of their things are. They offer everything from burritos and tacos to tortas and mulitas, bowls, combos, and many, many other options, and the prices seemed reasonably decent to me. You walk in and order at the counter, and you help yourself to the few taco sauces they offer.
I had a bean and cheese burrito with onions thrown in, and my husband had a carne-asada burrito. We were in a bit of a hurry, so I wanted something quick and easy. The refried beans were home-made; over-all, the burrito was decent but bland, which is what you get when you order a bean and cheese burrito. However, the burrito was a suitable size and too large for me to eat. My husband's carne-asada burrito was good, but he felt the meat was a tiny bit dry, but at least it was made correctly. I am positive things will even themselves out and by no means will this set the standard especially being a new restaurant. in fact, we are eating there again on Tuesday, for taco Tuesdays =D
