El Bistro Taco — Restaurant in Ashwaubenon

Was SO excited about this restaurant. Lots of good reviews. Small but cute and quaint environment. I’m a server at a restaurant so the first thing I noticed was a very RUDE and unattentive server with zero personality and seemed to hate her job. Was not welcomed. Was not said “hi” to. Was not told about the lunch special. Salsa and chips were brought out about 10 minutes after ordering our food. Salsa was bland and boring. Chips were ok. I would have to say from being an experienced server and restaurant manager- the first thing a consumer experiences is the wait staff. That sets the tone for the entire experience - and will cost an establishment A LOT OF MONEY. STARTED BAD. ENDED BAD… and it’s a shame. Didn’t get soda refill until some random gal came out and asked. When lunch was done, asked for ONE extra tortilla to take so I could enjoy my leftovers at home. Waited 5 minutes for 3 unrequested tortillas to arrive, then noticed on the bill we were charged extra. When checking out with the same person who served us, I told her that I was simply giving a word of advice in saying she should have stated there was an additional charge for 3x2 in tortillas when only 1 was requested- and I wasn’t rude about giving the advice because I felt this young girl needed guidance. She stared at me. Said nothing-not even an apology or admitting she errored. We paid our bill and left so overall this was a HUGE MISTAKE coming here. Management as they should- say on the posts that the people should say things before making posts. WE DID. WE GOT SILENCE. That being said - while we like to support local, it’s doubtful we will return. Service and how you feel about a place mostly relies on a server from the moment you walk in. When feedback is provided when payment is made and you feel like you aren’t heard- THAT IS WHEN PEOPLE DONT RETURN REGARDLESS OF THE...

This is a unique, tiny little restaurant that creates some delicious food. A great combo of Italian and Mexican food (not together in dishes, although I think they could make that work too!), there are some outstanding plates. There is limited seating, so choose your time wisely or take out, although I think some of these creations are best fresh in house. We had the mussels app in the spicy Nepali sauce...they aren't kidding. My Korean tastebuds were on fire! But the sauce was crazy flavorful despite the heat.

I got the bistro de mare, an Italian seafood dish with a tomato-inspired sauce. The seafood was cooked perfectly, the sauce had a depth of flavor that was shocking, it was so good. My other half got the burrito of the day, which came on a dinner plate and took up the whole plate. The meat was well seasoned and the burrito lacked nothing.

While we were there, a couple people ordered the other item I was considering, the lobster shrimp linguine....I can tell you I'm planning my next trip to green bay just to have that dish.

It's a unique establishment that deserves...
