Editorial Review for PR's Mexican Restaurant – by Elisha Pappacoda
In Short
The exterior resembles a roadside shack and the interior doesn't do much to improve much upon first impressions--chairs vibrate with the passing trains and the decor could be generously described as "early pool hall." Parking is tough during peak times, particularly due to its location--between railroad tracks and a busy intersection on Fairbanks. Once inside skip the appetizers and indulge in warm, home-made tortilla chips and spicy, chunky salsa. Fajitas sizzle, and the black and white enchiladas leap off the plate. The pollo fondido, similar to a chimichanga, comes packed with beef or chicken and topped with cheese, a spicy red sauce and sour cream.

I love good TexMex and that is hard to find in Orlando. The restaurant is a little hole in the wall kind of place. and there are actually holes in the wall. Nothing remotely fancy here. Ok, it's a dump. But the mole sauce is worth the trip alone. It is perfect. The service is always friendly but they tend to be a little short staffed when the place is busy. So bring some patience if it's busy cause you'll need it. I've sampled lot's of items and have enjoyed most everything. If TexMex is your thing you might wanna try PR's.
Pros: good texmex: love the mole sauce
Cons: the place is a dump-- like in Mexico,lol

After finding this restaurant from City Search, my husband and I decided to try it. First, the restaurant is a nasty looking hole in the wall. When we walked in the place was crowded and the hostess/server sat us in the back corner at a two top table. So far, I still had hopes for this place even though it looked nasty. The walls are covered with hand-written notes from past patrons. On the ceiling, I noticed some profanity and a drawing of a fist flipping the bird. The waitress took a while before she took our order. Since the place was crowded, it didn't bother me that much. When our orders were finally taken I ordered a taco and a tostada, and my husband ordered a taco salad. The salsa was really good. Unfortunately, that is the only compliment I can give this restaurant. When my food was delivered, I had no utensils and the server ran away before I could catch her. I waited and waited and was finally able to flag down my waitress and when she returned, she slapped them on the table and ran. By this time, my husband was halfway done with his taco salad. The black beans that I had ordered were overcooked, dried out, and somewhat crunchy. The taco beef was completely tasteless, including my husbands taco salad. It tasted as if the cook browned some ground beef and threw it in our food. No seasoning or real Mexican spices were added, so my question is, other than serving some salsa and having Mexican style food on the menu, how can this really be a Mexican restaurant? When the waitress returned to clear our plates, I had barely eaten anything off my plate and she didnt even bother to ask me if everything was okay. She brought our bill and I promptly handed her back my credit card. After about 10 minutes she still had not returned and I was beginning to wonder if she ran off to make some purchases on E-bay. Finally she came back after what felt like forever and we were able get out of that awful dump.
Pros: Good Salsa
Cons: Service terrible, food even worse!
