| - No changes inside from when it was Suds and Sliders, except for a few paintings. I asked the waitress/bartender what was different, and she said that they changed the name (same owners) because they expanded the menu. It was totally dead on a weekday evening for dinner. In addition to my table (I was only with one other person), there was another two top, and a guy came in for a beer and then left. The food was just okay.
We had guacamole to start, which was ... sadly below average. Nothing was wrong with it, but there was nothing interesting or remarkable. Honestly, the guac you can buy at any grocery store (or hey, a building over at Drug Mart) in a tub that's mass produced is actually better. That makes me a little sad. If a place is tex mex style, shouldn't the guac be at least decent? Enough about my guac meh-ness. I had a burrito, which was similarly slightly below average. Again, nothing wrong with it. The weird thing was it was a little cold, like it'd been sitting. My dining partner's meal was warm, so who knows.
I feel like it's difficult to get a new restaurant to succeed in this space. It's set back from the road a little in a plaza, and there are significantly better restaurants all around. Hell, there's a Chipotle in the same plaza where you can get a better burrito for a few bucks less. My server was very friendly and nice, and they had several tvs (the better to get my baseball fix on, my dear), but the food was just so... meh. It was also fairly bland, which I guess since I'm recovering from ulcers is a good idea but doesn't exactly make my taste buds dance. Or sing. Or even wake up.
