| - My original thoughts for this review were to just be kind. My mother told me if I didn't have anything nice to not say nothing.
In real life, when someone sadly informs you that a loved one is dead, you just know something just isn't right at all and they waste time stressing you out trying to put it to you mildly. The way I go about it is to come out of nowhere and tell it like it is. Not wasting any time sugarcoating anything this time. I've been to tons of restaurants, from Mexico to Scotland to Egypt and most places in between. This is the worst place I've ever patronized, and so nearby in location it's mortifying.
The only reason I went there in the first place was it's nearby, Mexican and I bought a Groupon. There was some kind of notice about Groupons that I didn't understand. Maybe they could use some education on language. There is a new feature on Groupon where they say they just send your name to the restaurant instead of you printing it out. Cool. My printer is broken and I don't have a smart phone. I mentioned the Groupon right away, suspecting they might not honor one if not done properly. Said Groupon already told them I was on my way. We were told they knew nothing about this so I asked for directions to the nearest library so I could go and print it out. The waiter gave us proper directions and I came back with my coupon. I really didn't want to go back. Over that two miles to the library there were many more appetizing places on the way, but I already paid $11 toward this meal. I highly doubted I would go right after already seeing the menu, standard, but filthy. I don't like to handle or order something that is dirtier than anything out of my dumpster, and my neighbors are slobs. All restaurants need to pay better attention to the menu matter, and some are much better than others. This review is so negative I won't bother to elaborate. I should have been smart and saw the red flags all over the place. Blame it on my blind determinism. If you walked in there with nothing invested, you'd leave. I was really hungry for just a taco by then, and how can you go wrong with that?
Stale chips and the salsa, I'd beat them in any contest with my own homemade. Any shithole has better salsa.
Mexican restaurants are similar to Chinese and McDonalds in that you know what's going to be on the menu. At this place, they were out of both tamales and shredded beef. Worse than that time Friendly's was out of vanilla ice cream. Who the fuck manages these places?
In my attempt to provide proof I paid for my Groupon, I had to pump gas in 5 degrees right by the lake, then it was freezing cold in there.
The food wasn't fresh, definitely not good, but neither my partner or I got sick.
I can't believe this place has been there so long. I definitely won't be back. The one good thing out of this experience is that I discovered an amazing library, Avon Lake Library. That place blew my mind, nice work there.
