Jhonny's Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Texas

I had not visited Johnny's in awhile. We decided to give it another go. Chose to sit on the patio because inside is always so loud it's hard to have a conversation. There was only one other table sat on the patio, although it was a larger party.

When we sat at our table, we were greeted fairly quickly for our drink order, but unfortunately it went down hill from there.

My arms literally stuck to the table. I asked the server to please bring a rag (when he brought our drinks) to wipe off the table. It was still so sticky after he was done, I put a napkin down. The napkins would not come back up and literally stuck to the table ...the entire napkin.

It took the server awhile to come back for us to place our order.

When placing our order, the server asked if I wanted corn or flour tortillas. I told him thank you for asking and that I needed corn.

When our food came out, my tacos came out with flour tortillas so I had to send them back. The server was apologetic that the order came out wrong.

My shrimp tacos were cooked perfectly but lacked any seasoning at all.

I was really hoping this could be a go to place for us but between the gaps in service, my order being wrong and complete lack of cleanliness on the tables, don't know that we...

WOW. The food here was really amazing, and reasonably priced compared to what you would get at any typical Mexican restaurant. This is a true hole in the wall place to eat, but the food will not disappoint. The chips and salsa are pretty standard fare, but they also give you a cup of spicy avocado salsa to dip your chips in which tasted fantastic. The dish I got was the the Gordo's special, which included a sour cream chicken enchilada, a cheese enchilada and a ground beef enchilada with rice and refried black beans included. It was really fantastic. I especially appreciated the black beans versus normal refried beans.

The only part of our experience that was lacking was the waiter that we had. He was not very attentive, never offered to refill our drinks, and completely disappeared when it came time to give us the check. I even had to get up and ask one of the other staff to track down our waiter so we could get our check.

But other than that, it was a very good meal that we enjoyed very much and will almost certainly come...

My husband and I frequent Jhonny's in St. Paul, Tx. We normally ever have any issues with service or food. On Monday, Feb. 5, 2024, the service, food and night manager were extremely disappointing. Our food was brought out to us barely even warm. My order was input incorrectly by the bar host. Once we found her long after our food was brought to us, we let her know right away the issues with the order. She then went into the kitchen and spoke with the night manager, a Hispanic young female. After approximately 5 minutes later the bar host apologized on behalf of the manager and brought out some heated beans and rice only after we had finished our meal. This was supposed to fix our order? The manager never came and spoke with us nor apologized to us. As we were leaving all she said was have a good night. To the manager and staff; It only takes one time to make a bad impression that results in reviews...
