Grunge rock meets pool hall in a sports bar/Mexican cafeteria. That was my first impression of El Balazo right off I-580 at Hopyard. They serve generous quantities of mediocre Mexican food and since I don't like getting full without being fulfilled, I don't plan on coming back.

Shrimp enchiladas: blah.

Carnitas taco salad: better than the shrimp enchiladas.

Our $25 Restaurant.com gift certificate (purchased for $2) made this meal $13...at that price, it's worth it! If it was regular price, this review would have been 2 stars...
