Don't you hate it when...

...you order an appetizer of guacamole and salsa at a Mexican restaurant and, while the dips are authentic and highly flavorful, the accompanying tostados/chips are store-bought crap that taste like salted cardboard?  This is exactly what went down last night during Alex and my dinner at Cafe El Portal.  And to make matters worse?  The rice that was served with my chile rellenos was about as authentically Mexican as 'General Tso's Chicken' is Chinese.
