Friendly waitress, clean restaurant. Gross food. Poorly laid out menu.
My brother and I have often joked that the easiest way to tell a good Mexican restaurant from a bad one is that the floors must be slippery and the tables must be sticky. I should've listened to the joke! I ordered a margarita, a tamale, a bowl of queso with pork, and a chimichanga platter. The margarita had a strange tequila-forward taste with notes of coconut; I dislike coconut but didn't really hold that against the restaurant. It would have been nice if the menu mentioned the ingredients. I'm fairly certain the tamales were pre-packaged then reheated in the oven. The corn husk was smaller than the tamale itself and practically spotless. The tamale was uniform in texture and bordering on flavorless. The chimichanga was very short and fat with a well crisped tortilla, but the innards were unmixed; all the cheese was on one side and the meat on the other. My first bit was actually pretty good but once I got to the inside bits, I had 1 bite of solely dense stringy cheese that made me gag, and 1 additional bite of gritty fajita beef. Not great. The sides were pathetic and not worth mentioning. The pork queso was an oily mass, stringy to the point that the whole bowl was practically a unified solid. It was difficult to remove a portion from the bowl and only ate one small bite. The menu has a bunch of different sub-notes telling you the circumstances under which you're required to pay extra for certain menu items. Drink prices are not listed on the menu. Total cost came out to ~$56 including my wife's meal. I only ate maybe 5 bites and didn't finish even a third of my drink Definitely do...
Read moreRude & horrible service. Giving 2 stars because the food was pretty good. My husband and I went in today for a late lunch. We stood at the door for over 5 minutes without being seated while wait staff washed silverware mere feet from us looking at us and laughing. Several others walked by and looked at us but none seemed to care that we and another party were waiting to be seated. Once we were finally taken to our table we watched as the waitress picked up her tip but didn’t wipe the table down and she walked off. When she finally came back, she seemed upset to take our drink orders which were just sweet & unsweet teas. As she took them she immediately wanted to know if we would place our order even though we had just been handed the menus. We asked for a few minutes and she walked off without a word. When she finally came back and took our order she seemed put out by taking our order even though it was straight off the menu with no changes or variations. Our food came out quick and was pretty good but she seemed angry when my husband asked for sour cream. They were not busy so there was really no reason for any of the rudeness. Then when we went to the counter to pay we were again left standing by there for quite awhile while many of the staff looked at us as they walked by or stood near. We are normally really good tippers and almost didn’t even tip her because the service was so bad but, we did because technically she did do her job. Left very...
Read moreI have never been a huge can of the food here. There are better places with the same food close by. However I was in here to eat before the Christmas parade. It was just with no room to wait inside for your name. We were waiting outside. I had gone in to check where we were on the list. We were next. I went to get my party before they called my name. I was gone maybe 5 seconds. When I for jack in they had marked my name off and seated someone else. I explained I was here and was out long enough to go get my party. The "manager" stated he waited awhile and called my name twice. He stated he would seat my party of six next. He then proceeded to sit a party of 2 and then a party of 8. He looked me right in the eye and said "name your still here?" I said yes however I won't be. I will be leaving now. I then left and called to speak to the manager. The girl who answered the phone said "you just talked to him when you were in here" and hung up. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Go 2 mins up the road to acambaro. Good food, great price,...
