| - My husband and I came here at 5 on a Sunday night when we were trying to use a Darden Restaurants (Olive Garden, Red Lobster) gift card that we had received, but found that all of those restaurants in Monroeville had an hour wait! Why anyone would wait so long to eat somewhere lacking in character, when this place was directly across the street, with ample open seating, was beyond me!
The relative early timing of our visit meant that Happy Hour pricing on margaritas was in effect. They were $3.50 and STRONG, great for washing down the spicy salsa that came with the chips. Service was attentive and the food was good. I got a chimichanga and my husband got the vegetarian fajitas. All tasty, well spiced, and in very filling portions.
The TVs were not a big distraction for us. There were mostly families there eating, and we didn't observe a gross, sports-bar-esque atmosphere (which tends to annoy us very much as well). It's all in the timing, I guess, but we had a fine time, enjoying the kitschy decor on a grey winter day.
