| - I love Mexican food, so of course I wanted to try this new place...BIG mistake! this place is the size of most chain restaurants like TGIF Fridays or something with a menu that is fun; similar to that of like Chilis or something. Trust me, my pallet goes beyond crappy said restaurants, but I wanted to set the vibe of the restaurants. I expected typical Mexican platters. The decor was horrible, they really play up the "Aztec" theme with large Aztec displays, I felt like I was in the lobby of a Universal Studios Aztec themed adventure ride. The wait staff were wearing hokey Mexican garb uniforms. I was already starting to regret coming here. Very tacky.
The meal started with free chips and salsa, as expected in most Mexican places, they were decent.
I ordered the Tacos De Carne Asada, which is described on the menu as grilled ribeye steak, grilled green onions on corn tortillas for 12$. My boyfriend ordered the Ranchero Special which is listed as a delicious combo of grilled chicken and ribeye steak, chicken enchillada, pico, and corn tortillas with rice OR beans for 16$.
When they brought the food out they placed a plate in front of me with two flour tortillas with steak inside of them. Nothing but meat inside, no base made with onions, peppers etc, No sides on the plate, no salsa, just 2 plain tacos. So I asked if it was correct, they said they brought the wrong dish so took it back. I thought "what a relief". Boyfriend asked if his was correct, they said yes so he started eating (alot of Mexican dishes look similar so we assumed it was correct.) Then they bring a thin/long plate out with three mini tacos on it. (what you would expect as an appetizer anywhere else), actually mini tortillas, with a side of black beans the size of say a container they usually put dressing in or something. I looked at my plate and laughed. Again though, the tacos were nothing but meat, nothing on the side to put in them, no grilled onions as listed on the menu. The waitress brought the manager over; I explained that if I were at a Tapas or wine bar or upscale restaurant I may expect a meal this size, but not at a family Mexican restaurant!
Shortly after someone from the kitchen came out and took my boyfriends food from him and put a different dish in front of him! They said they brought the wrong food out, LOL. So the dish he ordered is now here, they didnt bring any tortillas, it was just a piece of chicken and piece of steak pounded so thin that it was the size of a slice of lunch meat! horrible. He was served a very small side of rice with the meal, no salsa, no pico. We are are laughing at this point. AGAIN, I told the manager how horrible service, portion size, atmosphere etc this place, he was very apologetic.
Then the check came and there was no discount. I didn't ask, but surely a discount would be given for bring out the wrong food twice, poor service, overpriced appetizer food called an entree! I had to talk to 2 managers to get a small discount on the bill.
The place is confusing; they serve crappy food in an elegant way. The presentation is small and pretty, like it would be in a nice restaurant, but the taste and value is comical. They had karaoke in the bar area, with about 2 people in the bar, they place is very very dark, not good mood dark, but just danky dark.
This is on my DO NOT RETURN LIST. I suggest going to El Campesino if you are in the Robinson area and want authentic great Mexican food.
