El Tenampa Mexican Grill & Cantina

If you’re looking for average food at average prices and below average service, then you’ve found the perfect place. If you’re looking for much more, I’d suggest Corona Village or Fiesta Guadalajara. My first experience with our waitress: W: “Would you like to start with drinks?” Me: “I don’t see your drinks menu?” W: “We have a full bar” Me: “I don’t see a list on the menu” W: “Well what would you like?” Me: “Do you have a drinks menu?” W:”Yes...” “Would you like to see it?” It really shouldn’t be that hard to get a drinks menu! My wife ordered a michelada and the waitress didn’t even ask her what kind of beer she wanted in it. I ordered a sangria and we here from the bar “Sangria is made from orange juice, right?” The michelada was less than average as was the sangria. I ordered some enchiladas w chicken and my wife got the carne asada. Both were good, nothing “wow” but they were good. Our server hadn’t been around and we were done so as the server of the table next to us came by my wife tries to get him to stop. She says “excuse me “ 3 times and he just ignored her. A couple minutes later we heard him telling our waitress that we were needing something, so obviously he heard her. If you like Mexican food, you won’t be disappointed by the food at El Tenampa; but you won’t be blown away either. Corona Village has GREAT food with good service and Fiesta Guadalajara has GREAT service with really good food (both offer really good drinks, I recommend the sangria from Corona Village).It definitely wasn’t a huge disappointment like El Tapatio in Boise was, but definitely not the best option out there.
