Las Antorchas is popular and I was passing it when walking back to my hotel so I decided to give it a chance. The restaurant was maybe 50% full, many tables were taken by teams of young soccer players and parents because there was a regional tournament in the city that week. This was the week leading up to Easter. Service was slow but I was okay with that. My waitress was very good, though a bit harried with the number of customers in her station. My order was 'Bistec a La Mexicana ' thinly sliced steak in a sauce of 'Salsa Pico de Gallo ' , accompanied by refried beans and corn tortillas. I ordered a side of guacamole. For a beverage, I ordered a bottle of beer: 'Barrillito '. The main dish didn 't include a lot of meat, was a bit soupy but had good flavor ... as did the beans. The guacamole did not taste good and was as soupy as the meat course which is not a commonplace presentation . I ate little of it. With an outdoor air temperature of 86 degrees. The restaurant was not airconditioned. Cost of the meal, that included 2 bottles of beer and the entree and guacamole: MX$190 US$12 . If in Aguascalientes in the future, which is likely, I may return to try other entrees on the menu and at times the restaurant isn 't as rushed. Overall, though, it was an okay meal and 'hit the spot '.

Cheap and busy, but the food is pretty bad. It’s OK for what it is, but there are so many better options around. Service is incredibly slow. read more Cheap and busy, but the food is pretty bad. It’s OK for what it is, but there are so many better options around. Service is incredibly slow.
