1. They may be open until 2am, but they don't serve food after 10:00 PM. It would be nice if this were listed somewhere on Aunt Chilada's website.
2. Who puts black olives in their salsa? Maybe this is some sort of Tex-mex thing. But as a native southern Californian in love with Mexican food, I have never experienced such a thing.
3. The fideo was super soggy.
4. My family went for lunch on a weekday. There was some sort of work banquet going on in a back room. There were possibly two or three other families eating in the other main rooms. Our server seemed to be working hard..every time we saw her. Unfortunately, there were times that she disappeared for way too long.
5. Half of the orders placed had something wrong with them. I ordered black beans and was given refried. Every family member with a chicken dish complained that the chicken was drier than wood. My sister ordered a salad with chicken and received one meat-free. We didn't ask for corrections, because considering how long it took for us to get any food, we would have had to wait to dinner to receive the corrected meal items.
6. The wood bench, manikin and old blanket in the entry way sorta smells like musty cat urine. I think it is long overdue for a cleaning.
7. I have been to this restaurant many times over the years. I was sad that this last experience was so marginal. Overall, the food was okay--worthy of three stars. The prices and quantities were good. But the inaccurate orders and the lacking service (which I think comes from being understaffed instead of bad skills) drop this place down to a two. I will update my review when/if I ever return. Until then--go only if convenience dictates that this is the best place for you (you are staying at the Pointe Hilton Squaw Peak resort without a car), and go with the expectation that you will be there for a long time.
