Amigos Acá y Allá — Restaurant in Richardson

Update: I don't know how they did it, but it got worse. I do Grant them one thing the presentation of the food is pretty much spot on. But that's the only thing that's good about the food. The guacamole, tasted like just plain avocado almost no flavor no texture. Devoid of any flavor of onion, cilantro, salt, pepper, pretty much everything that goes in guacamole, didn't even have hardly any onion to it. And it's so easy to make smushing avocado throwing some pico and voila you got amazing guacamole. The Spanish rice or Mexican rice whatever you want to call it was almost a dry powdery flavor consistency, almost no moisture to it, you could tell it was cooked but it just had this powder taste to it that it left on the tongue. Beans bland is all get out, they taste like generic beans you would get at the grocery store that just say refried beans and then has a white label that's it. I had the Tex-Mex platter and it was atrocious, it's hard to get worse but these people managed to do it. My wife had the chicken enchiladas with sour cream sauce, the chicken looked like potted meat to me, the texture was mush, they tasted like chicken but no real flavor other than just a little chicken flavor. My wife liked the sour cream sauce, because it was fluffy but I swear it tasted like something you would get out of the grocery store that's packaged and you throw it in the oven for 30 minutes and then serve it to your family. I have made better Mexican food at home in my kitchen and I'm not even Latino lol. And I have made these same dishes with way more flavor, with way more pleasurable consistency as it goes across the tongue and while you chew it it releases flavor. This stuff is horrible. And I hate being so dang critical, but the truth is the truth. The service was not great but it wasn't good. I think our waiter was working two stations which that's not his fault, that's managers problem but the atmosphere on top of that was way too dark and I was not the only one trying to find light to read the menu. People at other tables were struggling to read their menus and doing the same dance in their chair trying to get enough light to see. One girl was even using her phone flashlight lol. I don't know what's going on with this place but my God please fix it before you go out of business, or is...

I never leave bad reviews as I always have something positive to say about places I go. So here goes the one positive thing-the chips were delicious and our server who was new was excellent for how busy it was. Now I would give it zero stars if I could as we had the most ridiculous experience. It was very busy and we decided to sit outside. After sitting there awhile we were able to order and decided to get it to go because it was so busy and had drinks while we waited. We paid for our food and waited for them to bring it out. They messed up my friends enchiladas but they came out immediately. After waiting 30 minutes we did not get our other orders. Half our party left while the others waited on our food. After an hour and half of sitting there they finally got their food because they couldn’t leave as we already paid. Before they brought the food we asked for our money back for the items that were not yet out there. After arguing with the manager he stated he could give us $20 of our total $70 bill as he stated it was our responsibility and we should have not have given our waitress our cards before we got our food. We never asked for tickets-she brought them to us to pay and took them as any food waitress would. He refused to refund our cards because he closed out our tickets. The only thing he would offer is $20 out of his Pocket and me sure we knew it was out of his pocket. We still did not have all our food at this point and the other is now cold food b cause our orders were still not complete after an 1 1/2. This could have all been fixed if he was more accommodating and not blamed the customer as the initial complaint was just the food wait but now turned into a huge ordeal. Stay away from this place if you want an arrogant manager and staff that don’t know how to provide...
