This was the worst dining experience in San Pancho, and though I love the town, I wouldn't consider San Pancho a culinary hub, so this is saying a lot.
First: it looks like something pulled directly out of an American Strip Mall, "Suburban America now available in your local Mexican town!".
Second: To no one's surprise (ref: American Strip Mall) the ribs are smothered in a sauce of your choice. The meat is really just a vehicle for sauce.
Third: The Mr. Ribs Jimmy Buffet cover band. A bunch of expats (I can only assume individuals who have a personal interest in Mr. Ribs being financially prosperous?) wearing Mr. Ribs gear, singing Margaritaville and asking for tips, was just too much for me to bear (Clarification: slightly demanding tips:"didn't you enjoy the music?!"- this may shock you, but your music actually just compounded the negative experience I was already having).
With all that said, their staff (mostly nationals) are super nice and accommodating, truly exemplary and I have only the best to say about my experience with them
All in all, it's my fault. I should not have patronized this establishment to begin with. All the signs were there. But I did. And all I can do is leave this review in hopes that I can spare another soul.
Also, they don't accept card - there must be some tax dodging play here if the tiny coffee shops accept card, and the most expensive restaurant in San...
Read moreI liked eating her. I ate twice at this place during my stay in San Poncho and was happy with my food. Each time my ribs were slightly on the tough side but not to the point where i felt it was doing a disservice to my meal. The first time I had more BBQ sauce and the second time was just slightly less. The potato wedges are of the frozen food variety but had no complaints on the way they were cooked. The coleslaw was quite good and flavourful. The 2nd time I ordered a side of onion rings and while I only 6 on the plate they were absolutely enormous. They were cooked well and tasty AF. I had strawberry daiquiris along with my meal and they were all top notch. The staff were all attentive and were on top of anything I wanted even while it was during the busy dinner rush. It's unfortunate that others haven't had a similar experience but like any place there are good days and bad days. Me personally, I will definitely come back until given a reason not to. I hope this helps anyone considering...
Read moreDecided to fare Zenizas for our special Valentines dinner 2023. Unfortunately our experience was very disappointing. The location and ambience was to be expected - a busy, party atmosphere, but the extremely long wait for a New York steak fizzled the party of 2. It took almost an hour to get our 3 shared plates. Once we asked the Manager to find out why the delay was so long, they suddenly brought out the Salad, Veggies and Steak - immediately.
To add to our disappointment - they brought an extra beer that we didn't want but had to pay for, and the overpriced NY Steak was full of grissle and fat. The 6 street dogs had a heyday! We were given a couple fruity drinks to lessen the disappointment, but to no avail.
Although we had a fabulous day enjoying the Tuesday SPancho street market, our evening was a bit disappointing due to slow service, overpriced medium quality food and unhelpful management.
Recommendation: ...
