We were seated in a rickety booth, next to an unbussed table fairly quickly. We were given menus and we ordered cocktails. A few minutes later, chips and salsa and bean dip arrived. We were pretty hungry. So we enjoyed the chips and dips while we waited for our drinks. We had just about finished the chips and dips when our drinks finally arrived (after we asked another server to check on them). The food was delivered soon afterward. I ordered beef enchiladas. Have you ever had a frozen Mexican dinner? Yeah, it was like that. Not bad, but not really authentic. Nothing to elwrite home about, but I ate the whole thing anyway. My wife ate about half of her burrito. She thought it was okay. Eventually the dirty table next to us was bussed, and anything that was not a dish, glass, silverware or napkin was wiped onto the floor. Several minutes later, a young woman came by and cleaned the mess off the floor. Not very appetizing to witness. Overall, it wasn't the worst meal we've had in Brentwood. I supppse we will...
Read moreHowdy Folks, Yobi here.
The grumpy elderly servers bit DOES have a charm that keeps you feeling like you MIGHT actually get straight up booted out the door,or not so subtly ignored if you are accidentally insensitive.
"Rude" never even crossed my mind. I have situational awareness. I want to survive.
My first wife was Mexican, and a couple of the restaurant elders are women. I am a Marine, and let me assure you, do not mess with any of them when they are grumpy.
Most of the time, their choices of how to 'deal with a pest' will inevitable include strategies you would never actually considered, even remotely.

Keeps the A-holes, and butt nuggets in line. Food and pricing are average. I mainly enjoy the grumpy dynamic.
As long as the balance doesn't get tipped to far either way, go and enjoy it! You will know in your gut if you have upset...
Read moreI ordered 3 bowls of menudo and when I got home I put them in a bowl & threw away the containers. When I tasted the menudo it was salty. I asked the other 2 people what do you think of the menudo?They said it was salty. I tried calling the restaurant and the phone was busy and when it rang no one answered. I called later and told them and they said they didn't have my order. I said I have your receipt they finally found it and said bring the menudo back. I said I called and you didn't answer so I didn't have the containers and it's been 3 hours so I threw it away. They said we were busy, the phones don't work sometimes, and the menudo isn't salty. They couldn't give me my money back. I said ok I'll take it out of the garbage and take it to you and they said no. Before today I hadn't been there in a while because they're food and service seems to be getting worse in the past year or two. I won't be trying their...
