Came here today to TRY and celebrate my sister in law's birthday, since this is our go to place for celebrations. Once my husband and I arrived, we were seated and waited for the rest of our family, but there was a table right behind us who had a lady who was obnoxiously loud and kept yelling "shut the f up" and swearing. I went back up to the front to request for us to be moved since we would be having kids around, and it was honestly just disturbing. The hostess couldn't comprehend what I was saying so she kept talking to the server in front of her in Spanish, asking what I was saying, so he tried to tell her I was asking to be moved, but he refuses to take us in his section. They didn't think I could understand what they were saying because I'm not Hispanic, but they were unaware that I actually understand the language as my husband and his family are Mexican. The hostess kept asking why he wouldn't take us and he just said he didn't want to and he left. She asked the bartender if we could be seated in their section and not even allowing her to finish her sentence, she also declined. At this point not a single person would talk to me directly, they were just wandering around and talking to one another. I told my husband what was happening, so he got up and I asked the bartender for a manager since everyone had ignored and walked away from me at this point. The manager came out, who ALSO didn't speak to us but instead just told the hostess to seat us in a different area where the bartender was and walked away. As the hostess tried to bring us to the new table, I asked her "so she's not going to talk to us?" And she said "no I'll just take you to your table" and I refused. Assuming the manager heard us, she came back out, and I explained the whole situation to her and only then did she say "oh I'm sorry I didn't know all that was happening" Well, if she had only spoken to us first she would've known. She also said it was her first time working with the staff so she didn't know them well. I've never felt so discriminated against, just because I didn't speak Spanish and they thought I couldn't understand so they could be rude, ignore me and be completely disrespectful. The manager insisted we stay and she could take our order, but at that point we didn't want to be there as we were obviously not welcomed and who knows how we would be treated then. What a horrible experience... especially for us loyal customers who use to speak SO HIGHLY of this place and have brought many friends and family here. Now, only to be ashamed and embarrassed. I understand bad days in the service industry, but there were so many other open areas available, and it should have never gotten to this point, especially with the...
Read moreOverall this place is overpriced and not worth it.
I got really excited about coming here mostly because my Mexican-American supply vendor’s for my work really talked it up. We normally go for the Authentic Mexican food, not so much, the commercialized very Americanized Mexican-American Chain Restaurant.
The service when we came in was very welcoming; I.e. when we approached the door the host and staff opens the doors for us which was a very nice touch; again I was super pumped to try this restaurant and the welcoming added that much more to excitement of trying this place for the first time.
Despite from hearing from my colleagues that this place was packed on a Friday night with a Mariachi band playing (a sign outside the restaurant also denoted Friday nights had Mariachi Bands), the outside at least didn’t have much tables occupied, and at least while we were there 6:30-7:30 p.m. on a Friday, there was no band playing- Bummer #1
Okay now on to the meat-and-potatoes, the drinks here are SUPER overpriced. I’m talking most speciality margaritas are $16 a drink (pre-mixed house marg is like $9), and other cocktails are between $13-$17. I got the Sweetheart Sangria which was was super sweet with not much wine. My wife ordered a Brut, but it came like 30 min later.
Service was “eh” at best. Despite not many tables being full, the service was mediocre with drinks and food coming out quite late from the time we ordered them. I get food taking awhile to cook but drinks, and the fact one drink (my sangria) came out 30 min before my wife’s sparkling wine (which comes from a bottle) was just poor service.
We got the Fajitas Los Cuocos over the Mar Y Tierra because The Fajitas Los Cuocos was supposed to have roasted jalapeños, peppers, etc. Our dish for two came with just the meat that we ordered and sautéed onions. We had to ask for extra jalapeños- which to our server’s credit, did come rather quickly when we brought it to his attention. The Fajitas for two (we got steak and shrimp) will be like $55.
We walked out paying $120 for essentially fajitas for two, Side Guacamole, one sparkling wine, one sangria, and one small Pacifico. Was it the worst Mexican Restaurant I’ve ever eaten at? No. But despite seeing this place had a 4.5 star rating on Google, and the word-of-mouth from the vendors I work with, left us very disappointed by this experience. We thought it was going to be way, way better than what it was, and in the end it was like a typical Mexican-American chain restaurant with not much authenticity and again, way overpriced for what...
