Mr Queso Restaurant and Sports Bar — Restaurant in Village of Cottage Grove

My boyfriend and I went for dinner at Mr Queso's Saturday of Labor Day weekend and unfortunately the place was empty, we were the only ones there. However, the whole experience was fantastic. Our waiter was great, his attitude and energy made the night even better. I had 2 small Hawaiian Margaritas and my boyfriend just a regular margaritas. The drinks were great, the didn't taste strong, but I can tell you they didn't skimp on the tequila. We had the chicken empanadas, they were a little dark, but everything was freshly made not frozen, the crema was very tasty, you could tell the pico de gallo was fresh as well. Lastly I had a burger and fries. The burger was made out of ribeye and was cooked exactly as asked, very well seasoned and the bacon sauce is great, I had mine on the side for my fries as well. My boyfriend had the smash burger tacos, the ribeye the use again was well seasoned and cooked. The tacos were full of filling and he was very happy. Both meals were served with fries. I think next time if I do an appetizer I will skip on fries, everything is just filling so I would do one or the other. We had to try the Flaming Peach Dream for dessert, great was to end the night. Not overly sweet and the brandy sauce and the peach pair very well together. If i had to mention negatives the menu is very large so lots of options almost too many and prices are on the higher end, but for example the burgers are made of Ribeye meat. So, not your everyday ground hamburger. This is a higher end quality Mexican Sports bar not just a standard chips and salsa Mexican Restaurant. I...

Update: Since the owner only wants to respond to 5 star reviews rather than address customers providing valuable feedback and call a review that claimed to know my whole situation an "honest" review, they also charged my card more than what I signed for after I left. Steer clear of this place.

Original: Party of 3 for a late dinner. Minimal tables eating, seated quickly, and food delivered very quick in less than 10 minutes. However, be warned that their pizza crust is pre-cooked in order to serve quickly which resulted in a luke-warm heated pizza to melt the cheese and toppings. Burgers were solid and their bacon sauce is pretty good as well.

Feedback was provided to not trade off quality of food for speedy service.

Waiter accidentally spilled a full water on a member of the party and was very apologetic. Offered a free sundae or future free sundae as courtesy but did not want after being full from meal. No bill relief was given until the complaint about cold pizza. Then was lied to about amount of credit provided before card was already run, which I don't know if it was an oversight or lack of training on the system. Did work with manager to eventually be made whole.

Rooting for this local restaurant and hope they take feedback seriously to make...

And they are eating, the bar top rocking under the plate of crushed pepper tamarind wings. Sports play on furiously on their big screen tvs.

Towering over them all is the Mr.Queso and he is dancing, his parmesean feet lively and quick and now in doubletime. He bowing to the ladies, yellow, and fragrant and wax coated like an enormous Babybel.

He never sleeps, he says. He says he’ll never die. He bows to the wing eaters and pours another round. He throws back his head and laughs deep in his throat and he is a great favorite, Mr.Queso.

He moves from table to table, the ultimate cheese mixture falling shredded from his sleeves melting to perfect consistency under the lamps. He swings about and takes possession of a Volcano Rib Eye Burger. He pirouettes and makes a pass, two passes, dancing and eating at once.

His parmesean feet are light and nimble. He never sleeps. He says that he will never die. He dances in light and in shadow and he is a great favorite. He never sleeps, the Mr.Queso. He is dancing, dancing. He says that he will never die.

I recommend the...
