River Cantina Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Beattyville

My family placed a to-go order here during memorial Day weekend. It was a holiday weekend and very busy. This was the only place in the gorge that allowed us to place a pick up order and saved our dinner! We ended up having to wait quite a bit to actually get our food, but considering the amount of people they had crammed in there, I think that was a small price to pay. When we did get our food it was hot, fresh, and everything was correct.

The food was unfortunately a bit bland. I'm not sure if this was due to the obvious rush or just standard, but it did leave a little to be desired. We ordered carnitas and flautas....

THE BEST DINING EXPERIENCE EVER IN MY LIFE

first of all, we ask for a lot of chips and salsa and they DELIVER!! nearly one basket and salsa for every person. we later ask for more salsa and THEY BRING OUT THE WHOLE FREAKING PITCHER!!! drinks were phenomenal, food was plentiful, and to top it all off, my group went to take a pic outside and our server noticed and came fully outside to offer to take the picture!!!! unbelievably positive. lastly, someone forgot their leftovers at the table and the waiter rushed out AGAIN to deliver...

Food was awful. Meat missing from taco, bacon missing from dinner meal. Let them know the issue bought out a bowl of meat for the taco and a bowl of what looked like bacon. I have some bad bacon in my years but never so bad I couldn't eat it. Nasty bavo I have ever had. Let the server know and they were going to let the owners know but was not offer a discount or anything. The person cooking that night should not be in a kitchen or needs to be trained properly. Will not return unless we find out food and service...
