| - Just arrived home from this place. We met there with a group of 6 people (the organizer's choice). Horrible horrible experience. When my wife and I arrived (about 10 minutes after the appointed meeting time) everyone was sitting there, so I assumed we'd missed the opportunity to order. Nope. The waiter hadn't even been by yet, we were told. No one had menus, so I got up and somewhat sarcastically asked the bartender (the only employee in view) if I he minded if I grabbed some menus. He pointed to where they were. When I was walking past again on my way to the table, I asked (this time not so sarcastically, thinking maybe this was the case) if we should come to him at the bar and let him know our orders. No, he said he'd be by.
Eventually another guy showed and took drink orders, then even more eventually we got our orders in. Chips and salsa then arrived. Horrible tasteless chips (we know because we soon ran out of salsa and ended up chewing them dry for quite a while, waiting for our food, and then later, long after the food was done, when we were waiting for our bills).
After about 15 minutes the waiter came back and told one of our party that they were out of whatever she'd ordered...so...15 minutes after they took our ORDER, they're just looking at the tickets in the kitchen? Did I mention our party were the only people in the restaurant?
Eventually the food trickled out. Our waiter had forgotten several of our orders, so we had to help him get things sorted out, and even then there were at least two wrong orders.
I can't speak for anyone else's meal, but mine was awful. Seafood burritos, it was flat to the point of pathetic and the 'shrimp, crab meat and scallops were actually some cheese and maybe 5 of the tiniest shrimp I've ever seen (like 3/8" long). No scallops in residence, much less even imitation crab meat. For $13. Unremarkable rice and a spoonful of refrieds. I had a margarita with my dinner and it was obviously made with that el cheapo mix that tastes like lime soda. Eww.
Checks never arrived, even after an hour, so again my wife and I performed service duties by walking up and asking. Since we'd specifically told our waiter that we were together, ours came immediately (thank god), but the manager then showed up and stood there asking what everyone had ordered. We told him that the group had asked for separate checks. "Oh, they're separate," he said, as he held a single check in front of his face and continued asking what each person had ordered. My wife and I threw our friends under the bus at this point and bailed.
Honestly, I'm still hungry. Let me repeat that...I just came from a Mexican restaurant and I'm still hungry. That's a first. I mean, you can at least fill up on CHIPS AND SALSA at a Mexican place, right? Nope. My burrito was so pathetic and the chips and salsa so marginal, I'm actually still hungry.
You've been warned.
