El Queretano Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Sibley

Well this turned out to be a huge disappointment. The food was actually some of the best Mexican food I've had in years. The service was decent. We were making plans for this to be a regular stop whenever we passed by Sibley. Then it came time to pay.

We had ordered two items totaling $22.50, plus some tax. The total I was told was right at $34. Hmm, seems a bit high. They overcharged me by at least $10, and when I questioned it, I was first told that the prices had gone up and the new menus hadn't been printed. I said, I ordered off the menu I was provided, with prices printed. So I asked to see the itemized check, but there wasn't one. They were just keying numbers into a calculator. I asked what the prices were on the items we ordered, and got the same numbers as was on the menu. Where's the extra charge?

Then I was told that spoonful of green sauce I asked for on my burrito cost an extra $3, then it was $4, then it was $4.50. $10 for the burrito and $4.50 for the spoonful of sauce on top? Still not adding up.

Then I was told that they charge $3 for the chips and salsa which I didn't order. They bring chips and salsa to the table upon seating, just like every Mexican restaurant in the country does gratis! Apparently this restaurant charges you $3 for the chips and salsa they bring which you didn't order.

The owners apparently don't speak English, and the two kids running the register and serving the food just kept making up things but could never actually produce an itemized check showing what they were actually charging for. In the end, I just paid the bill and left. I did cut the tip in half from what I would normally leave. She did actually get the order and serve the food, but the final bill was just a fabrication. We certainly won't be going back to this place. It's too bad. We were actually looking forward to enjoying more of the food, but not after the experience...

The food and service I would say is fantastic. However, for me pricing is never consistent. If you don't mind paying for more than what is listed then it won't be a problem for you. Example: list price on menu for an item is $10-- bill total comes to $14 for a dine in experience one week, the next week it's $13.25, the next it's $12. A carry out order for 2 of the exact same item was $26 and some change. It lists price on menu for chips and salsa is $2.00. I assume they charge $2.00 per person regardless. Even if 2 people are sharing one bowl. The food itself is great. I have yet to have any food I didn't like. The chips are homemade and fresh and the salsa!!! They have 5 different kinds of varying levels which is absolutely fabulous for a salsa junkie! You can also have any salsa as a side or put in any menu item. While the portions aren't as big as other Mexican restaurants I have always left full just don't expect to take leftovers home usually. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone to eat but with a warning that their bill maybe more than they expect. Update: pricing consistency is getting better. They absolutely have accommodated every request to tweak a menu item as I've requested. The guacamole is fresh and...

The food that I order was good.the restaurant it self looks cool but the seats them self isn't very comfortable and wasn't to happy to have kids take my drink order as I am pretty sure that not legal under 14 plus I order one drink but ended up with two and the price isn't the best for two people it costed 27.82 and I am pretty sure they charged us for both drinks and it was just tap water overall if you want good food it not Abad place to eat the atmosphere with kids running around and playing while you're trying to eat you're meal seems Abit odd in a business and a child taking you're drink order that can't be more then 12 probably younger isn't a good look overall one of the most weirdest exprice that I have had eating out anywhere I don't strongly...
