Eva's Mexican Restaurant Review

The first stop for the SS Dinner Club was to go to Eva's Mexican Restaurant in Old Roseville. I am a big fan of going to small Mexican restaurants. The atmosphere is always fun, and the food is usually really well made. However, I was not impressed with Eva's.

The first thing that was not welcoming was that on a hot summer night the it felt as if the AC was either broken, or that they had avoided turning it on all together. The room was warm, muggy, and not very inviting.

I decided to order a shrimp dish, and my wife ordered a chimichanga. Neither of us liked what we ordered. The sauces on both dishes were fine, but the shrimp were cooked way too long and were gritty, and the chimichanga was not fried at all, and was basically a burrito. It was disappointing.

The one thing that was nice was that the quantity of food was incredible. The amount of food they dished up versus the price was impressive, but I would have accepted far less food that tasted good, than tons of food that I didn't want to finish.

Overall, the rest of the group seemed to be happy with the food, and it may be something that I'll try again in the future, but I would have to say that there are several other Mexican restaurants in the area that I would choose above this one.
