| - I had high expectations for this place, but they were not met. We went for lunch.
The menu was crowded and hard to read for me. I got the venison bacon burger with egg, with lettuce, tomato, and onion, cooked medium. My girlfriend got the chicken chorizo egg tacos without salsa. The wording was a little odd, as it wasn't clear if it was a venison burger with bacon on top, or a burger with venison bacon. Our server explained that it was a venison burger with bacon mixed in. We shared a single order fries and our server convinced us to get both the cheese and chili on top. We got just water to drink.
The waters were delivered first... in bottles! We were not asked if we wanted bottled water. My burger came out, minus the LTO or any condiment other than a sunny-side-up egg. The girlfriend's tacos came out, plus the salsa mixed in. Strike on both.
Somehow my burger was rare on one side and well-done on the other. I looked closely to see if there was evidence of bacon inside, but I couldn't tell (or taste). The burger, with its crumbly roll, drippy egg, and thick slice of tomato was a beast to eat. Not quite good enough to finish, though.
The fries looked like they'd be pretty good naked. However, they were buried under what looked to be cheese from a can and chili from a can. The grease pooled up in one corner, and pretty quickly ended up overflowing onto the ground. (We sat outside, where the metal tables have holes by design)
Then came the check. $30 for a two-person lunch with a single split side, with water to drink! Oh yeah, those waters were $2 each. Upon attempting to pay, I was told that it was cash-only.
With Mama Ros, I would have paid half as much, gotten a hug, and been quite happy with my lunch. With this incarnation, I feel swindled. I have no plans to return here.
