Mexican
Food Factory
601 West Route 70
Marlton, NJ 08053
One of my supervisors at my former job and I
spent a week out a client in Marlton once a quarter. We used to hit up a lot of
the same spots, most of which I had reviewed on this blog in the past. One place
we hadn’t ever been and actually forget about a lot of the time when deciding where
to go for lunch is the Mexican Food Factory. We shot over there one day when I
suggested it. It was my first time ever being there, and it seemed pretty
legit. It has been in the same spot for as long as I can remember, so I figured
it must be pretty good.
They brought us out some chips and
salsas, two different kinds to be exact, while we perused the menu. I was as
always in the mood for some tacos, and the carne asada tacos caught my eye. I
hadn’t had steak in a while and I love me some carne asada, so I figured it
would be a nice treat. We devoured the chips and salsa. They were delicious,
clearly made fresh in house. The salsas were pretty tasty as well. One was more
of a pico de gallo than a salsa in my opinion, but it was flavorful
nonetheless. I prefer my salsas pureed a bit more. Chunks are always ok, but
they have to be a little bit blended for my preference.
When our order arrived I was pretty
impressed. The tacos were served as they traditionally should be, doubled up
corn tortillas and topped only with cilantro and onion, and garnished with a
lime wedge. The steak was cooked well, but I wish it had a bit more char to it.
I am a freak for texture, especially when it comes to tacos, so for me they
were a tad bit too one note with the textures. The flavor was very good though;
hitting all the points I wanted it to. The herbaciousness of the cilantro, the
acidity of the lime juice, the bite of the onion, the heat from the sauce, and
the richness from the beef provided for an excellent taco. As you all know my
now, I also love refried beans. Actually I love beans of all sorts, which I can
attribute to dating a Latin woman, because I never really ate them before her.
These particular refried beans were very nice. They were very smooth and deeply
rich and creamy.
Two and a half pints for the Mexican
Food Factory. I will definitely be returning, as there were a few items on the
menu that really caught my eye. As I have mentioned before, I am currently
obsessed with Mexican food, especially tacos and sopes, so anytime I can get
them I do. Check it out when you get a chance and let me know what you think!
Cheers!
