Going to Besito in Huntington Village is always filled with excitement. It's not the food per se but rather the ambiance. Whenever I write food reviews I try to focus on the food and not really write about what the restaurant look likes and the atmosphere. This review won't be much different except for one instance. Every time I've thought about going into Besito it's been because of how good their beverages were, their guacamole was and the ambiance was. Never was it really the entree's. So today I decided against the Guacamole and a drink and opted for water and the meal.
I decided to stay within my weekly budget and ordered the Queso Quesadilla. The dish was accompanied by salsa, sour cream and a light green sauce all great for dipping. In addition, the meal came with rice and beans. All in all, I was pleased with my 9.00 dish. The Quesadilla was perfect. It was tasty, baked well and had the perfect amount of cheese. I really didn't need to dip it but by doing so it added a wonderful flavor to an already appetizing dish. Adding the rice and beans in my opinion would have only made it that much more appealing. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. The rice was under cooked and at times crunchy. The ends of the Quesadilla and the rice should not have been in a competition for crunchiest bite. But, the rice was indeed not cooked. Even by placing the beans on top as a way of softening and blending them I still would sometimes crunch on my rice. I've had rice there before but this was definitely a first. The beans were cooked well and made up for were it's counterpart failed.
At the end of the day, my meal was pretty good. Besito although a chain never comes off that way. The service culminated with the atmosphere and menu choices definitely pleased this hometown girl. I'm willing to give them another chance in the rice department and if that fails I'll definitely order my guacamole and margarita.
