Señorial Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Beaumont

Stopped here at 8:15 pm on a Monday on our way back from a trip out of state looking for a meal to go. This places hours of business showed a closing time of 9pm and the sign out front said “yes we’re open come on in.” When my daughter and I entered the restaurant I told the hostess that I wanted to place an order to go. She replied by asking us to let her check if they could still cook or if the grill had been cleaned already. When she returned she let us know they already cleaned the kitchen and “couldn’t” make any food. I’ve worked in several family owned restaurants over the past 30 years and never did a customer get turned away before closing time. If the kitchen staff cleaned the grill early in hopes that they could leave early after their shift and a customer came in to place an order they’d have to cook food for them anyway. A line cook 100% can make food after the grill is cleaned, they just didn’t want to because that would mean they wouldn’t get to leave early. If your hours are until 9pm stay open until 9pm. But if you’re gonna shut your kitchen down before 8:15pm change your hours to 8pm. You wasted my time stopping at your place only to be turned away on a long day...

This place was pretty full when we were seated. We were served drinks rather quickly. After about 10 minutes, our order was taken (2 of us). About 15 minutes later, chips & salsa arrived. Then about 50 minutes after being seated, our orders finally arrived. After we were done, I was standing by their register to pay the tab for about another 8 minutes maybe, as the waitresses were going back & forth. A couple of them saw me there waiting but never approached me. This place used to be The Country Junction until it was acquired by it's current proprietors. The food was ok, but they need to get their act together or they'll lose business. Not a place to eat at if you're not willing to spend alot...

I asked for 2 salsas red and green, she said 1.99 each over the phone, I said great, I get these two for .69 each, and both half full and one was hardly blended. What is this even? The shrimp cocktail was good but lije 10 shrimp in it. The political pictures when you walk in? Def not going back and I was just picking up, she had ear things in her ears couldn't hear me, strange. First time here, usually go to banning which totally went down too, server was nice but HOLY moly was she the worst server ever, gave us the wrong food, 2 tables and we waited like the restaurant was full. It's so "let's see what happens" when we go to senorial and options are very limited...
