El Pico de Gallo — Restaurant in Louisiana

I cannot see how this place is 4 stars. I place my order. The sweet tea is good. It is not busy at all. The server brings me my food then she is gone. The table behind me kept shaking their glasses letting someone knows their cups were empty. NOTHING. I needed more napkins and would have also liked a refill. NOTHING. I would have liked some more salsa since the food has little flavor. NOTHING. The server is no where to be found. We are shaking our cups and slurping our drinks to let anyone know we needed refills. NOTHING. The table behind me goes to pay. The only other table besides me and the table behind me go to pay. I get up to go pay because clearly I'm not getting a refill and the food was so bland. The two ladies pay the amount. No tip. Exact amount. I get up to pay. 12.08 for this trash. I pay the exact amount because why would I leave a tip. I am walking out and this..I WANT TO CALL HER SO MANY VULGAR NAMES... lady tells the bus boy. OUT LOUD.. For me to hear I guess... SEE ANOTHER NO TIP.. WHAT'S WRONG WITH PEOPLE...

BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHHHHHHHHH... what the FUUUUUUUUU...... Is wrong with you. You did not check on anyone of your customers. You took our orders brought our food and that's it.. I could not believe the audacity of that woman to say that...OUT LOUD.. I am not a confrontational type of person but she almost brought out the bad side of me. Oh and again the food I ordered was darn near tasteless. The smallest damn sides of beans and rice... And look at the size of the chimichanga.. for 12...

The food taste great but the service is terrible. I've given this restaurant many opportunities to redeem themselves before leaving this review but every time I come here, I get the same waitress. She is not professional, rude, and has a friggin attitude. They give you one small bowl of salsa that I can eat in less than 5 minutes so I asked for another one and they charged me $1!! Wth? I got 1 taco, 1 enchilada, and a drink and the total was over $9. That would be $5 in my home town. Nearly half the price. Then she had an attitude when I asked her what the charge was for. She said "first one free, second one charge" and then laid my receipt down and walked away. I never once had an attitude with her. Totally uncalled for. I was the only customer in the whole place (that speaks for itself). It's dark and gloomy, no music. Just Judge Judy on the TV. Terrible...

Good food,good service, yes a little pricey on the drinks, but hey a truck stop with a real sit down restaurant I don't care if it costs a bit more, I will support them. I had the fish tacos. You get 3 with a plate of beans and rice way plenty of food for me.. I don't know if the owner reads these reviews, but I overheard a conversation he had with a local fellow. The man said he wished they still had gumbo, it was the best in the area. The owner said another fellow made it but was worth his time to come in and make 1 batch. Why don't you pay the man to teach your cook how to make it? If you have people wanting that product, put some money into your help. If nothing else give your cook incentive to sit down and watch one of the hundred or so YouTube videos on how to make gumbo. Not telling you how to run your business, but it's...
