El Rio Restaurant, LLC — Restaurant in Porterville

No dude, that’s not how it happened. You arrived about 11am, asked if you could do your work there. Two of you sat at a table for six. You weren’t just charging your phones, you unplugged their neon sign to plug in your computer. 6 hours later, as the diner crowd started to come in , the waitress kindly tryed to convey to you that they were going to need the table for six and that there was a resource center down the street specifically designed for people to do computer work. You used their facility for 6 hours, bought 2 cokes and split a burrito. An hour or two, okay, but 6 hours. Those ladies are the sweetest, kindest, very hard working ladies and you took advantage of them. They had a family come in and you were too rude to get up and leave to the point they had to slide two tables together to accommodate their dinner guests. Then you gave them a 2 dollar tip/how rude.

The owner had to physically restrain her employee who advanced and actually tried to fight us! It was unbelievable. Law enforcement had to be notified, sad part is the owner allowed this entire exchange to occur to her female customers without interference or consequence. This...

Prices are definitely way too high for what you get, the asada fries were dry with just melted shredded cheese and chunks of carne, no veggies or sour cream, or salsa or anything on them and they charged $14! The fries were half soggy and cold, half hot and crunchy, the meat was flavorless and cold with a rubbery chewy feel. The chili Verde quesadilla was flavorless, watery and the shell just sogged through and fell apart. Horchata is usually my favorite thing to drink but this one did not taste right at all! I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone in or around kernville, for the prices you pay here you can go to the other restaurants there for the same price and...
