The Bean House is a Mexican Restaurant at the intersection of Lemay Ferry and Telegraph. From the outside of the building the place looked like it had a nice patio, but it was too cold to sit outside. The inside of The Bean House was not decked out, and didn't look like every other mexican restaurant that feels the need to put up that ugly fake Mexican decoration. This was a very straight forward place. The menu did not have the 50 combination dinners that other places have. It was very simple and the prices were very cheap.

I ordered the chicken chimichanga and two tacos. The chicken inside the chimichanga was outstanding. It was not covered in spices like other mexican restaurants, but it was shredded and very moist. The tacos were not anything special, but they were still good. If you go to this place order something with the shredded chicken. It is very good.

Downstairs in The Bean House, there is a little sports bar area. This is a cool little space with a bar, a few T.V.s and darts. We had a few beers down in the basement after dinner and it was a good time. The place was not that crowded and there were definitely places to sit, which is always nice.

The worst experience I have aver had at restaurant. Less than half of the restaurant was full and it took 50 minutes to get our food. Even a packed Mexican restaurant shouldn't take that long. When the food did arrive it was sub par. More Taco Bell than sit down Mexican. The shredded chicken was soggy because it was frozen, the ground beef was salty and very greasy. The best thing about the service was they did finally get me the check, but only after I waited twenty minutes.
