I tried to give this restaurant a second chance but today made me not want to ever come back. I have no idea how people can eat their hideous food. Food used to be soooo good when it was a small restaurant, the owner would come by and ask if you’d needed anything else. Breakfast tacos was my favorite thing go eat there. Well long story short today I ordered red chilaquiles and they’re usually made with a guajillo sauce, I’m not crazy, I remember eating them like that there. When my plate showed up it looked nothing like the menu photo or how I remembered them being. I asked waitress if those were the only chilaquiles rojos they had and she stated that they had changed them. But that next time I would have to tell her I wanted them with guagillo sauce and that they would be able to make them. I said ok fine, I’ll just eat these, didn’t wanna look too picky…I took the very first bite of them and it was just so gross, they threw ranchera sauce on them and cold cheese on top, the sause tasted like straight up tap water, I don’t know how else to describe the taste but it was NASTY! I kindly told the waitress I won’t be able to eat that plate because the sauce had a nasty taste. She said no problem, she would have the cook make them with the sauce I wanted. I saw when she went to tell the cook to remake them and he made a really ugly face, he was very bothered to have to remake something that was freaking nasty in the first place. I don’t know if they know but the customers can see their faces from far away into the kitchen. I saw how upset he was making my food. Upon food arriving to table I noticed they just dumped the same nasty powdered eggs back in the plate and the same nasty and smelly pork chop and on top of that the ā€œfreshly madeā€ sauce was cold. At this point I just wanted to eat whatever was on my plate and leave. Cashier asked if everything was ok and I said no, but didn’t bother to ask what was wrong. This place sucks, don’t waste your money. They don’t care to make you have a pleasant experience, they’re just inviting people to never come back. And I only gave it 1 star because there’s no lower...

If I could put a zero I would! Customer service was the worst. My family and I always order the same plate and today when I went in and ordered my meal I noticed my plate was made different so I brought it up to my waitress which was also the owner and she argued with me stating that the plate was made the same as always and I even showed her a picture I had taken of my plate in the past and still she kept telling me I was wrong and she was right so they brought me what was missing and still charged me separately instead of making it right and by then my food was cold. When I finally got to the register I questioned the cashier about the charge on my ticket and she then also started to argue with me and telling me that I was wrong and that the picture was probably taken somewhere else, I asked her not to make me feel like I was lying after showing her proof and she started laughing at me, I asked her not to so she made a comment saying would you rather me having an angry face and I said no I rather you have a friendly and concern face due to my service but please just charge me so I can leave and as I turned to leave another waitress said it’s people like that and I turned and said people like what? and she keeps saying just leave and and waving her hands for me to get out. What ever happened to...

My husband and I ate here on Saturday. We go to many Mexican food restaurants. El Alteno didn’t wow us it’s not the worst we’ve had either. My husband had a large menudo and I had the combination plate. My plate had an enchilada, chalupa, and crispy taco. The enchilada was pretty much just a red tortilla with cheese. I had the chalupa and crispy tacos with beans. The beans had a good flavor so did the rice. The salsas provided had very good flavor. They don’t sell alcohol here, the lady told us they were working on getting the permit. The service was good. Our server checked on is multiple times while we ate. The prices were good and our plates were well served. They sell flavored paletas/popsicles. We each had one and they were delicious. If you’re in the area this restaurant is worth a try.

Been a few times here but last time I was there it was still humid and warm inside, service was a bit slow. I had waited for a table of three that wasn't cleaned even as they were wanting to seat others that just came in. Usually not too busy but on Sundays it's bad. So I waited at table for chips and salsa but never got them after 15 min. I had to leave and they were not apologetic at all. Why would I go back to that beats me and plus lately food is too greasy, way too much fat and oil. Had to return food last time ...beans not very flavorful either. No thanks
