Spanish Inn — Restaurant in Snyder

My enchiladas were average—not very memorable. As one of the other reviewers stated, the rice was some of the worst Mexican rice I've had in any restaurant. Refried beans were delicious. My wife didn't care much for what she had. The salsa that came with the chips before the meal was atrocious.

Worst part was the service. This is one of the most joyless places my wife and I have ever visited. No one smiled. They all seemed like working there was the most miserable experience they'd ever had. I can imagine why. There was a lady who appeared to be in charge who I observed barking orders at employees on multiple occasions. One of them reacted to her by throwing a menu on the floor and stomping off in a fit.

I observed the hostess in seating the guests would ask, "How many?" Then, she would lead guests to the table, plop down their menus, and walk away before the guests even arrived at the table. No other word was offered, such as, "Your waitress will be right with you," etc. This sort of unfriendly attitude permeated the business.

Our waitress left our table for long stretches at a time. When she did come by, she was prompt to meet our requests and was very helpful. It's just that we hardly got her attention during the visit. Our chip bowl went empty at one point. The food took excessively long to prepare. I sat around for about 20 minutes with an empty water glass and waiting for the check. Our waitress visited a neighboring table at least four times before ever coming to ours.

We won't be back...

Husband and I stopped here for dinner on our way from Lubbock to Abilene. We were looking for another Mexican food place that we could not find via GPS and had passed by The Spanish Inn, so thought we would give it a try. There were lots of cars in the parking lot which is usually a good sign. The food was terrible. The salsa was watered down tomato juice with a few chunks of tomato and onion in it. I love green sauce and their menu raved about using grandmother's recipe from 1943, so I ordered the green beef enchiladas. There was absolutely no spice/heat to those enchiladas which had very little ground beef in them and had mushy corn tortillas. The cheese on them was cheap, yellow cheese. The rice looked like it had been ground up and had as little flavor as the stiff refried beans. The wait staff was nice but it doesn't make up for the food. Also, my husband ordered a beer since I was doing the driving. They asked if he wanted it dressed with salt and lime - which he likes. Expecting to get a mug or glass, he was surprised to received a beer bottle that had been dipped in salt with a lime sticking...

The rice was absolutely nasty and then I brought it to the servers attion and he had told me I wasn't the first person to say it was burnt so I asked to talk to a manger then a younger girl came out and said she was the assistant manger and I told her what was going on and she said she would let the owners know about it then I noticed the owner came in so I asked to talk to him and then he tells me that he just tasted the rice and it wasn't burnt it just had something off to it... Then I was trying to explain to him no it was burnt and it ruined my food as I mixed it in with my food... But he didn't wanna hear it or have to listen to me... And just blew me off so I payed and left I will never ever eat there again it was the absolutely worst Mexican food I have ever eaten.... The worst service and a jackass for a owner to top it off and the girl wasn't even a manger at all as the owner tells me he didn't have one.... Place is a joke I am from a small city and that's not how take care of people go to any restaurant in my little city Juneau AK and you will have the absolutely best experience ever anyways you...
