Armandos Taco And Pasta Shop — Restaurant in Gillette

Maybe I hit an off day.... Myself and 5 co-workers ate here for lunch and waited a LOOOOOOONG time before our order came, and even then it was only 4 entree's then another 3-5 minutes before the last two came out. Even though this was during lunch the place wasn't overly crowded, and it was only a group of six, not like we brought the whole office. They were trying hard, bugging us constantly to take plates/give refills (I know it's a fine line between being vigilant and annoying...) that I sensed they were overcompensating for the slow service. Though I can't vouch for any of my co-workers (nothing great/terrible was said), my meal was average at best. The pulled pork sandwich was really soggy, and must've been sitting a while because the bottom bun was so drenched it basically fell apart after only 3-4 bites. And for pulled pork, it looked more like that cheap off-brand tuna you had to eat in college - sort of a stale grey color and really finely shredded. The microwave fries that came with it were okay, but I bet the fried potatoes I actually ordered would have been better..... Like I said, maybe it was an off day. But so far I'm thoroughly...

As for the establishment, itself, the atmosphere is fun and a bit quirky, like a sports bar and grill, but with a unique twist. If you're looking for that vibe, they've done it well. There are quiet corners, too, if you're wanting a more intimate experience.

The staff were pleasant, genuine, friendly, and accommodating. The manager took particular care to see if there was anything they could do to meet our needs.

You can see the menu for yourself, but it has a lot of options, including a kids' menu. The prices were overall pretty reasonable, or at least comparable to other places. Some items were a little high, perhaps, but there are some definite deals to be had, too.

Unfortunately, we had to leave before we could order. I know, a restaurant review that can't talk about the food seems useless. Other reviews can tell you how it tastes (apparently very good, and I believe it.)

But just how they treated us impressed me enough to leave a review. I would like to go back and enjoy the full experience, but regardless, I would recommend...

UPDATE: My husband and came in for a night out and the first thing I saw on the menu I pointed out to my husband and we decided to try it. Its called the 307 burrito, they might want to change the name as my husband has started calling it "the kids meal" mac and cheese, chicken strips and fries with a Chipotle sauce in a grilled burrito. Incredibly AMAZING!!! Their food combos seem strange but trust me try ANYTHING on the menu and you'll be back!

Absolutely LOVE this place. Always get exceptional service. When I first moved back to Gillette and saw this in place of Golden Coral. I was intrigued by the Italian/Mexican food combo but still completely sure if I was willing to try it but after trying the fajita Mac and cheese I was in love with this restaurant. My husband and I usually split the big burrito (that is the actual name) it is almost too much for the both of us. Definitely worth a try for...
