El Mariachi - Wallace, NC — Restaurant in Wallace

We found this little oasis on a fast food strip in the Tin City part of Wallace, NC. If you find yourself traveling along Interstate 40 and must stop for lunch or dinner, drive pass all the fast food places, that nasty country buffet, and stop at this awesome little hole in the wall next to Food Lion. I got up early in the morning that day, and I had been on the road for hours. I needed a cup of coffee with my lunch, but I stopped at a restaurant across the street from this one, and they didn't have coffee, so I left and found this Mexican restaurant. Before I even sat down, I asked if they had coffee, and the waiter said, "No, but we will make you some." That's customer service! The young man who served us was very polite, friendly, and very attentive. We ordered the fajita quesadilla and the cheese steak burrito. The quesadilla was delicious. You could tell that they had grilled the meat on the plancha, and the blackening of the meat and veggies was delicious. The burrito was very good as well. Now, that cup of coffee! Man, it warmed my heart...

Worst food I have ever had in my life. I have been severely nauseous for 5 hours now. $15.00 dollars of hard earn money down the drain. And my friend at work wouldn't even eat it, so a whole meal in the trash. I can't stand the sight of food right now. It was my 1st time having food from there, I was at work so it was ordered by my co-worker and I paid over the phone for it, since my co-worker was going to get food from there. I have no idea what kind of meat that was, it was very dark and so oily and in thick chunky slices and smelled like nothing I've ever smelled before. The stuff you dip it in was some type of oily mess, which didn't have any certain flavor. It all smelled and tastes just nasty. I was very disappointed, it had been a hard day, I was hungry. So, 15.00 dollars wasted and nothing to eat to finish my night out. And still so nauseous right now, now that I'm home. Maybe tomorrow I will be able to eat again. But sad to say, it...

Upon utilization of a 3rd party delivery service (DoorDash, who absolutely excels), I learned that my order was not going to be fulfilled. I placed the order 3 hours in advance. When my delivery person arrived. She called me and verbalized that this business' DoorDash system was "down." Now, my order was charged on my credit card, already. I told my delivery person I'd call the location. She patiently waited. This restaurant was very rude, telling me "the system has been down for days!". I asked if I could get the order made now that my delivery person was waiting and I was told "No, unless you want to pay now over the phone", which would have been double paying. Two staff members were so rude to me. I used to only choose this Mexican restaurant. No more. The previous time my order wasn't correct and I chose to ignore it. Now I am seeking a better, more reliable Mexican establishment. Choose Del Rio or Camino Real. The service is superb. This...
