| - Hmm, well, I have been prompted by friends to go here so I did...on a really hot summer's eve before taking in a flick at Brunswicks Hickory Ridge theatre's...And.....the jury is out.
Let's start with the service. We had trouble getting attention and being attended to. Not shabby mind you, just irksome. Wasn't a large crowd, but, we weren't kept in mind it seems. We were always flagging our server down to get basic service.
Outside seating was nice on a quaint but adequate wood patio. It is west facing so the sun toasts you if it is hot out. (And it was).
So, the food:.....Not bad, not great. We found the menu selections interesting and not too pricey. When delivered, it was typical, and a bit overcooked. It is getting to be a trend at restaurants these days it seems. The kitchen service doesn't give their efforts the level of expertise that it should...are they expertly trained?, I often wonder.
Mexican in our nation outside of the southwest and California isn't created very well. By and large, Americans dont' get to experience really good Mexican food, and Mexican cuisine- one of my favorites- is very, very good when done right. Something you want to enjoy over and over. It all has become generic and redundant and we found it so here as well. Again, not bad, just not good.
Would I eat here again? Yes, I would give it another try. While not put off in any way..I want and expect more. Better quality, better prep, better service. It's all got to be there. I'll keep you posted whenever I make it back.
