First let me tell you about the Taco Tuesday scam, then I'll review the food. The lady working today told us that it's Taco Tuesday and pointed to the table tent I have in my pics. We told her we'd get that - 1 of each flavor for me and my wife just wanted 2 chicken. She said no problem. The food came and it didn't have the chips and salsa with it. When we asked she said it's because taco Tuesday doesn't come with that. A little annoying that she didn't let us know that since the price to order it by itself makes taco Tuesday more expensive than regular days, but fine. No worries, we ordered the chips. After eating we looked at the bill and noticed what we thought was a mistake but turns out to be the scam. Here's the conversation: "It says the tacos are $3.50 each but you charged us $4.50." - "Yeah, I had to charge you the regular menu price. The only tacos that are taco Tuesday are ground beef" "Uhm, not only didn't you tell us that, but ground beef isn't even on the menu. We didn't even know that was an option." - "I don't know why it's not." "Why didn't you tell us when we ordered?" - "I don't know" "Okay, but it says 'Taco Tuesday on our bill" - "I don't know why it says that" "Okay, fine. But if you charged us for the regular menu items why didn't you serve the chips and salsa with it? You charged us extra for something that comes with the regular meal, the meal you said you charged us for." - "Well you asked for the taco Tuesday meal, which doesn't come with chips and salsa." "But you charged us for the regular meal." - "I don't know why the computer rings it up like that, I just know that if you don't ask for ground beef then I'm supposed to charge you regular price. " BUT YOU DIDN'T TELL US ABOUT THE GROUND BEEF. IT'S NOT EVEN ON YOUR MENU! AND YOU DIDN'T GIVE US EVERYTHING THAT CAME WITH A REGULAR ORDER." - "Yeah, I don't know. I can probably take something off your bill if you really want it." Check the receipt and menu and you'll see that not only did we pay $10 more than we should have, we didn't even get everything she said she charged us for. Anyway, on to the food! Keep in mind that despite the above, this is an honest review. This place seems to specialize in removing all flavor from things that are inherently flavorful. Truffle fries: ⭐⭐ It was an interesting choice to use these fries. Most places use shoestring because potatoes really kill a lot of flavor. You can barely taste the toppings, and the truffle flavor is more of a scent than a flavor. We always get truffle fries anywhere that serves them because we love them, but my wife had 1 and pushed the plate away. I liked them fine as fries, but not truffle fries Tacos: ⭐⭐⭐ These were fine. Not bad, but nothing special. I think one had a piece of cilantro, which was nice. Chips and salsa: ⭐ The salsa has never even been stored in the same room as a pepper. If the chips had had any salt on them it would have spiced up the salsa by association. The beer cheese was pretty good and was the spiciest thing in our entire order. (I wish that was just a snarky joke, but it's sadly true)

Not normally one to do reviews, but taking my time to do one for here. We had a bad experience a few months back in the beginning of December. The girl working was new and struggling, so we let it go. Tried it again last night, different server. Same bad experience. There was one server and one bartender. The bartender was either on her phone or staring into space, but not actually working. The server seemed to do most of the work. It took forever to get drinks and place our order. Food took even longer. Last night was taco night. Some of the food came out wrong. My boyfriend is vegan and ordered his with no cheese, came out quite a bit after the rest of ours, with cheese on it. When the bills came they were very wrong. He had to redo it all. Overall it took about 2 hours to have an app and the taco special for a table of 4. I had 2 free beer vouchers from the first bad experience, but was still charged $8 (they took $5 off my beer with the coupon, even though it clearly said free tap beer). The table was sticky when we sat down, the server never cleared any plates during service. The only good thing was the food was actually decent. Not worth the price or the wait.

Last night I ordered take out to pick up for dinner on my way home from work. The process for online ordering was easy, though if you order this way there is a fee (between $2-3). When I placed my order I received confirmation that it would be ready in 15 minutes. I arrived a couple minutes before to pick up the order with the impression that it might take a couple of minutes to be finished. I ordered 2 ceasar salads and some boneless chicken wings, which I would not expect to take long to prepare. My order was supposed to be ready by 5:40pm and I didn’t end up leaving with my food until 6:10pm. The fact that it took 45 minutes for them to prepare 2 salads and an order of boneless wings is absurd. The food itself wasn’t awful, however the boneless wings reminded me of any of the frozen boneless wings you can buy from the grocery store…
