| - We had a coupon for a free "Guaca-Tony". And we'd heard some good things, so here we are!
Well, kinda wish we hadn't. First, let me say the server and manager were very good. They did their best to take care of us. That's good...but...
The Guaca-Tony bread was very salty. No idea why, but it was. And I LIKE salt. I'm a potato chip junkie. But it just didn't work here. The guacamole was mediocre, too. Definitely "meh". If it hadn't been free we might have sent it back.
The calamari was overcooked, too heavily breaded, and salty. We actually sent that one back. If you read my reviews you would know I almost never do that. Maybe once a year.
Lastly we got the rigatoni. It was spicy and pretty good. We added meatballs. They were OK. Not fabulous, but OK. Reasonably large, too (though not large like Buca). The garlic bread that came with it was salty. What's with all the salt? I love salt, but this was too much. I've never experienced this before. And it wasn't just me. My wife had the same reaction.
I'm surprised to see four stars on Oregano's. Maybe if we had ordered the pizza instead? But what we ordered was mostly disappointing. I don't think we'll be back, even though we have another free Guaca-Tony coupon. I do appreciate the server and the concern of the manager whom the server notified, but that's not enough to make up for mediocre food.
