Rey's Mexican Grill — Restaurant in Cookeville

This was one of the worst experiences I've ever had in a Mexican restaurant. The server was nice enough but he seemed to have forgotten about us on the back patio, which would seem difficult considering we were the only patrons in the establishment. . . The drink glasses are not appropriate to the drinks being served, in essence the establishment only wants to give you a shot or two of alchohol per request of the customer which is appropriate, what is not is then pouring that into a glass that will appear empty with the proper amount of sweet and sour/mixer and to counterbalance the mistake that has been made they fill the glass with more mixer thus making the drinks taste awful, whereas they couldve served them in the proper glass and everything would've been fine. Drinks aside, seeing as this is a restaurant before a bar, I've worked in numerous Mexican restaurants I'm well aware the presentation leaves something to be desired, but at the risk of sounding redundant, presentation aside, this meal was made without care and tossed onto a plate as if it were made for some sort of cafeteria line or animal slop, which al biet are only comparable when you consider the similarities between children and animals, but I digress! This restuarant is horrible...

What was I going to say I don’t want it then I had already drank it. I would have not ordered it had I know it was not the 2-1. I feel this was the mistake of the waiter not me so it should have been honored. . Not a really good way to do business as far as I’m concerned. Guess it’s time to find...

Rey is an amazing owner. I really loved the food and the wonderful hospitality that was given. The food was so good and the drinks were amazing . I have lived here in Cookeville for about 5 years and this is the first time at Rey’s. I had the best experience at his restaurant and I will definitely be going back. The servers are amazing as well. Me and my family went for Mother’s Day and everyone enjoyed their self’s and said they will go back as well. Thank you so much Rey for the great hospitality. This was the greatest Mexican authentic food I’ve had in a long time. Also they have a patio which is relaxing and really nice area to...
