Azteca D'Oro, South Orlando

I had lunch at this Mexican restaurant on South OBT on Saturday. It was not worth the effort. It's almost at 417 and SOBT. I had the Borego for $13.95. It was lamb shank with rice and beans. The shank was tiny and tough. I've had larger pig knuckles. It was also gamey. The beans were served in their own liquor. They made me naseous after three bites (ok before that). The rice was Mexican red rice. Typically flavorless. The one slice of avocado was abused. The salsa was rubbery and old. It came with tortillas. Why? Oh yeah, to hide the taste under a canopy of spicy mole. The best thing they served was half of the bowl of tortillas. Why some were hot and others not is a mystery. The salsa with the tortillas was probably canned. They even had the audacity to charge $2+ for a soda. No refills. The service was fast and polite. The silverware had dried cilantro on it. The place looks like a hacienda from a Anglo-cartoon depicting Mexico in the Fifties. It seats over 100. It was pretty full. It is a chain. Much better options than this. Don't let their ads in My City Eats fool you. This is not high end Mexican. Which means it's...well you know.
