El Mexicano II — Restaurant in California

Food was not the best but the service was awful. We had a large group so we were going to split the check. The man who greeted us originally said we could do that. Another man came out who apparently would be our server and said that he spoke to the owner and since our group was over 10 people they couldn't split the check. I think math scared them or something. So we decided we would figure out amongst us how to handle it. No big deal. Then when he took our orders he didn't even seem to know the menu. He seemed to have more questions than us. After the orders were finally taken and the food was ready he brought out food that wasn't ours and was unsure of what most of us had even ordered. Brought the wrong tacos to us but we were fine to eat it either way. Once the food was dealt he never returned for refills or to check how things were going or tasting (not very good but bearable). When the check was ready he literally tossed it on our table and walked away. I work in the service industry and I understand how crucial tips are but I believe you should earn your tip. We collectively decided not to tip and paid our bill and left. As we were outside leaving I was tracked down by the server who was complaining to me that we didn't leave a tip and that he took good care of us and he didn't understand how a large group could not tip. So I told him that he was not there for us and the service was not good so we decided not to tip. He then walked off clearly upset. So I decided to call and let the owner know how we were treated by his server. The "owner" gets on the phone and wouldn't you know it, the server is the owner. When earlier that same server said he spoke to the owner about not being able to spit the check. Not sure what is going on over there but they need to get a handle on it. He proceeded to tell me that he doesn't need business from people like us so I reassured him that he...

The food is average Mexican food, not great, and not bad. The reason for the 3 stars is strictly based on the actions of the owner. I was up in Oak Glen yesterday, and as we all know Oak Glen in Oct is extremely busy. With that said, we managed to find a parking spot at the restaurant....it's a dirt lot with wooden parking dividers. When we arrived there was a woman up there with her 3 kids who accidentally got her SUV stuck trying to go forward over the wooden parking dividers. Although many of us attempted to push her SUV....it was stuck. Anyways the owner came out recording her, instead of offering help he actually called the police on her saying she did property damage. He called it his fence....but it wasn't it was a parking wood divider. Police came up and looked confused themselves om why this was a police matter....regardless a police report was done....the poor woman was in tears and the owner was acting like an ass....instead of doing the right thing and trying...
