Jalisco Restaurant — Restaurant in Homestead

I went to try to have a nice dinner with my mom and instead had one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had. My mom and I both ended up getting mole enchiladas. As soon as I had my first bite I put the entire plate to the side. It’s was incredibly spicy, sour, and overall just not very tasty. The waitress came, we made a new order, and then the owner came out. He questioned us on why we sent it back, whether we had ever had mole (we’re both Mexican and have had different kinds of mole... so we know how it’s supposed to taste), said that the way he made it was the way it was made ( different states can have different ways of making mole but bad mole is bad mole in any state) and even though both my mom and I had only had ONE bite we had to pay for it. To top it all off, the waitresses had their masks on their chins, no soap in the bathroom, and their agua de Jamaica was also atrocious.

Háganse un favor y no ordenen el mole. O quizás después de tantas micheladas no sientan el sabor amargo de ese mole...

The food was basic. Taquitos were very good. The regular salsa had great flavor not the "special" salsas at the salad bar were flavorless and not impressive. Fajitas were chewy and grisly. Definitely not skirt or flank, more like round steak or lesser. It's not worth the price.

Service was horrible, place was packed and looked like it needed more staff. She forgot to bring tortillas with my food. The service assistant was very good, he did more than the waitress did.... My bill was $40. I asked the waitress to put $15 on cc, and I have her $30 and said to put $25 cash and give me $5 change. She split the bill on cc and did not give me any change. When I asked her, she said sorry and then gave me $5 back. I didn't want to argue, so I left, but she basically stole money.

The atmosphere was OK, but good was inadequate, and I would recommend going...

Overall, I enjoyed the meal. I forgot what I ordered here, but it was pretty good. I think I posted a photo of it. Anyway, there wasn't a wait (we went on a Monday evening) and the staff was very nice. The prices were not too bad and I'd say that it was worth it. One of the interesting things was that the restaurant streamed music videos on this large projector on one of the walls. I really enjoyed it when they streamed the older songs. For example, "La Hielera". This is a different culture from my own but the music was great. I don't think I've dined at many establishments where they stream music videos on a large projector. It's an interesting set-up and I think it fits nicely with the atmosphere. The restaurant itself was very 'cozy' and located in an OK area. All in all, not a bad dining experience and it's a place that I wouldn't mind...
