| - We came here prior to a Pirates game on a Saturday afternoon during the 2016 season and the restaurant got crowded pretty fast. We were here from 1-2pm and there was a high traffic of people throughout that hour waiting for the gates to open. The great thing though is that not only do they have seating inside of the restaurant, but they also have seating outside.
Our stop here was brief, but we ordered 2 appetizers while we were here - The Traditional Guacamole and Nachos with Beef. Unfortunately, both appetizers were very disappointing. First, the Guac. The Guac appetizer came with a lot of tortilla chips, but the amount of Guac for it was very small. We were quite surprised at how little Guac was in the bowl, if you can call it that. In addition, the Guac lacked flavor and we had to salt it on our own to give it a little kick. The Nachos with Beef wasn't that much better. Once again, there were plenty of chips on the plate, but the lack of beef was disappointing. Some of the beef and ingredients were on the bottom, but the spread of the ingredients on the tortillas was still not as much as we would have liked. If anything, we enjoyed eating the chips with the Chohula Hot Sauce on the table more than we did with the Guac or Beef!
The critiques don't stop with the food though. The service wasn't horrible, but it wasn't great either. The waitress we had seemed semi-friendly, but we felt she checked up on us way too much constantly asking if we needed something else. In our 1 hour there, she probably came back to ask the same question about 5 times. We ordered 2 appetizers because we felt 1 would not have been enough monetarily with the both of us at a table, but the waitress was a bit too aggressive coming back to our table over and over again. Sometimes waiters/waitresses don't give enough attention, this was an example of TOO MUCH. Just when we thought she came by too often, when it came time to pay, she was no where to be found. I gave her my credit card, but she ended up going to other tables to take down orders and didn't return until 10-15 minutes later.
I hate saying these things about establishments, but the truth is the truth. Not only were we served below average appetizers, but the service was right there with the food. The good thing is that this restaurant has major potential and it's not out of their realm to fix these problems because they are definitely resolvable.
