La Casa Del Mariachi — Restaurant in La Quinta

Ok.... so we had such a great experience 2 weeks ago when we went for the first time that we bragged so much about it and decided to return last week with a friend. Well it was a completly different experience and it was so terrible that i said i would not return. I even gave them such a bad reviews because I was so angry. Anyways today my Husband talked me into going again because he said let's try it one more time. Give them a chance we might be surprised. When we walked in....I knew the young server from last week remembered us from last week and I told my Husband I know they saw the bad review I gave. I was uncomfortable but stayed. The young woman that came up and asked if we wanted something to drink she was very nice. We Hadn't seen her the last 2 visits. But it turned out that she's one of the managers. Her name was Yvette. I think the server from last week didn't want to help us but I can't say that I blamed her. When She brought our coffee and asked if we were ready to order. We ordered and my Husband mentioned we had a bad experience last week but we would like to try the fruit plate again. She told us right away that she had seen the review and so did the owner and she knew it was us from the server telling her it was. She apologized right away about what happened to us and explained the young server we had last week was new and that they appreciated our real input because it helps the restaurant learn. She said the owner even had a meeting about things to improve on. She Thanked us for giving them another try. She continued to be our server. Everything was awesome. She talked to us off and on a few times and even though it was awkward.... it was really nice. When she gave us our check.... she tried to comp the ticket which was nice. We said it was unessasary. She still gave us a few bucks off anyways which was nice. I attached a picture of the wonderful fruit plate too. Anyways.... I guess the moral here is.... sometimes a bad review helps like in this case. But sometimes.... including myself.... we sould maybe stop think that maybe everyone has a bad day and sometimes it's better to remember that. Thanks Guys for a great...

I went into the dining experience with little expectations, yet I somehow managed to leave feeling disappointed. Before I start, I wanna make something abundantly clear. I took issue with the quality of my parties food, not their service. Our server was fantastic. Firstly, the guacamole was discolored and had a sparkling water-ish taste. I’ve eaten a lot of guacamole in my time, and I’ve never had guacamole that tasted quite like that before. You can tell it was going bad. Second, the beans we were served were straight up inedible. They had a funky smell and were really sour. Again, I’ve never tasted anything quite like it before. Overall, I’d say the food was ok and left much to be desired. #stanloona...

Where to start .. the atmosphere is nice , nice painting but dang the service is not good at all! You have to ask for everything once your seated you don't get chips and salsa till you ask. You don't get napkins, forks with your food you have to ask. Ask for straws. There's no drink menu look at wall the server said so Paloma's was on the wall which I got and expensive for a small drink which cost $12.50. The food was okay very limited unless you like enchiladas and seafood is primarily the menu. There's no excuse to service if it's Mother's Day and busy are you gonna make the same excuses for Father's Day, graduations , birthdays?! Service sucks plain and simple and so...
