Was really quite disappointed in the recent service and in the food this past week- Wed. 1/1-NewYears Day... not sure if it was due to being understaffed & being a holiday-day??? but in the past this was one of my Mom's and my favorite restaurants to go to for Mexican lunch or dinner. Also my Girlfriends & I frequently went/would go there when they are in the area/in town. This past Wednesday- I took my husband to enjoy it for his first time (raving to him that this was one of the best Mexican restaurants local to our home)- But... our recent experience was such a sad disappointment... #1) the service was almost non-existent (waiting for or looking for the wait-staff- for any questions or assistance) also #2) the food was cold... the fajita's when I had gone in the past with my mom or my girlfriends- we always got the fajitas and they came on the standard serving sizzling skillet(Weekday or Weekend - lunch time or dinner) and this time when eating there this wed. 1/1/20 the fajita fillings(steak/shrimp) was only served on the plate- and the plate was cold- and the fajita filling was luke warm at best- not hot(as it would be if served on the sizzling skillet)- and when asking the staff(male waiter we had) they said that they do not serve the on the skillet during lunch time anymore... but yet you still charging customers the same dinner prices for the same service??? - if it had come on the skillet - then we would not have had to send it back due to being cold.... was disappointed by the lack of effort & attitude from management/server gave me/us - like we were some bothersome customer (no apology or concerned customer care I had experienced in the past at this establishment). It was a total disappointment bringing someone new to enjoy what I had remembered the place to be with bringing my mom(who is since passed away) and my girlfriends in the past with always enjoying the food and service. Was quite hurt and upset with the lack of care and concern - also had ordered an extra dish to go and it was packaged in some very soft cardboard to-go box - unlike the styrofoam take home box I got when packaging up my leftovers- the extra enchilada dinner we had ordered to go - when we opened it to re-heat for eating the next day- was totally melted and stuck to the inside cardboard container- loosing 1/2 of the meal/dish without pulling on the containers paper- and eating cardboard with the food we tried to extract to reheat on a separate microwave plate... the box was soggy and falling apart and when trying to open it to take out - it nearly ended up on the floor due to the weakness of the to-go container it was placed in.... not sure why our dish was not place in the same styrofoam container my left-overs I was given at the table to place in? Is sad that when you have a favorite place with fond/favorite past memories of enjoying that it gets spoiled by an unpleasant experience like this... Certainly made for an unpleasant 1st impression on my husband who had been in business of waitering and was quite take aback with the lack of customer focus and care shown to us. ...this recent bad experience certainly makes for not wanting to come back and re-visit again...which is quite sad because it was one of my favorite places to remember good times I had with my mom there.
