Old Mill Restaurant — Restaurant in Pecos

Food was pretty decent, but the service was absolutely horrible. 1st and last time to eat here. Won't be back. Walk in, place is pretty empty, maybe 3 tables being used. Hostess sits me literally against the restroom door. Very back corner of an empty restaurant, up against the restroom. Ordered fajitas, they come out fairly quickly. No sour cream and one tortilla.(it's wrapped in aluminum so at this point I don't know how many are there) Ask the waitress for a drink refill and sour cream. I get the refill, no sour cream. Ask again, she goes to the back, comes back and says they're out. Open tortilla pack, immediately know it's gonna take way more than 1 tortilla, ask for a few more. Brings out 1 more tortilla. By this point, I'm like whatever, let me just choke down these greasy sub par fajitas and be on my way. All the while I'm eating, what seemed like the entire staff, minus my waitress and any source of management, is sitting across the room eating and laughing, just having a good ol time like they're. It on the clock. Waitress literally disappeared. Like 25 minutes. Manager comes over kind of snoody when I flag her down. I ask where waitress is. I'm told it doesn't matter where she is, can I help you? Yes, I'd like a to-go box, a ticket, and sour cream if you've got any. (Which they did, and she brought) Go to register, wait about 4-5 minutes for someone to come out of the back to ring me up. My $10 fajitas come out to be $16+. Got charge $1 a piece for each tortilla. For fajitas! Are you kidding me?! Got a sweet tea to go, it was unsweet. Minor accident, yes, but I literally called it. Was walking out to the truck to leave, thought to myself as bad as that was, I bet they even screwed this up. Put the straw in, and...

We stood at the "please wait to be seated" sign for quite some time. Wotkers kept looking at us, and one kitchen worker kept telling various people that we were standing there. We started to leave, but someone finally told us from the kitchen to sit anywhere we wanted. A girl came and asked us about drinks but walked away before we could finish what we needed with our drinks, so she had to go back for the lemons and correct sweetener. Then our waiter came and he was fabulous! Very attentive and nice and took our order. He brought it and everything we asked for. He refilled our drinks and was very attentive. He was wearing the cutest hot pink sneakers. He was very nice and friendly. I ordered the fajita salad, which was very odd. They obviously make all their salads at one time and then just add whatever is needed at the time to serve to make it whatever salad. So it was a regular dinner salad with chopped cucumbers and carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese and then topped it with grilled fajitas, onions, red bell peppers and slices of avocado. The fajitas were delicious, as were the grilled onions and peppers, and the avocado was perfectly ripe, but the lettuce was wet, and quite a lot of it was "rusted"/brown and was bitter. The ranch dressing was good. So I ate the top of the salad and left the rest. My husband got the club sandwich and fries. He said it was good but did think the meat was cut very thick, so it was not a normal club. When we left, we asked if our waiter had to share tips or if his tips were his. He said no, they did not share tips, so we tipped him very well. He got us to go cups, and we paid the bill and left. They were pretty busy, so maybe it was...

This was a strange one for me. We honestly heard good things from some fellow coworkers in the area about the food here, which wasn't horrible. I got the brisket barbecue fajitas. Which kind of summed up the whole place as a strange Texas BBQ / Mexican infusion of some sort. It's basically fajita meat and vegetables just swimming in barbecue sauce that I guess I was supposed to eat on a tortilla? Frankly none of us thought that any of the Texas BBQ options were very good, just average. One coworker got the regular beef fajitas, and that was actually the tastiest thing anyone got. I guess you're going to go, stick with the more traditional Mexican food options. Aesthetically, from the outside, from where I come from in Portland, this definitely would have been a strip club. Boxy building with no windows and really no markings of mention. But even the good ones around here have big flashy signs and really let you know where you're at. Anyway, this is not that. The Stanford was nice enough, if a little unattentive, and who I assume is probably the chef/owner was running around quite a bit and making sure everyone was relatively happy, better than the rest of the staff. I hesitate to say anything really negative about it, cuz they're really wasn't anything super bad. Everything was just okay and I would give it a "meet's expectations" at best, but nothing more. Certainly is was cool enough and a pleasant break from the 108 degree...
