| - If your looking for a great Mexican restaurant, don't go to Hussong's! That has got to be the worst restaurant I've eaten at since I've been in Vegas 12 years & I eat out a lot ! There's a lot of great restaurants in this town & I can honestly say this has been THE ONLY bad restaurant we've been to...so what does that tell you??
The whole experience was terrible...starting with their salsa sauce! How do you mess that up? They do....
It's tangy & tart...I didn't taste any garlic or cilantro...very bland & tangy ...no zip to it! And for starters, they are the only place I know that charges for chips & salsa in a Mexican restaurant . It's only $1.95, but it's the principle , & their chips are aweful too! Thick & hard...I like thin & airy chips.
So that's the 1st 2 things wrong. I order a frozen margarita, it comes out on the rocks, so I send it back. The guy brings it out to me frozen, but with no garnish?? Maybe they're saving their limes...who knows, but I take the 1st sip, & my mouth started to draw up on the sides from it being so tart, so I bring it to the bar & asked the guy if he could put more triple sec in it to sweeten it up a bit & he takes the drink from my hands & goes behind the bar & puts a topper of triple sec in my drinks & hands it back to me...all with not saying 2 words to me! I stir it up, taste it, but couldn't tell a difference, so I said I need more in it. Let me drink it down a bit so you can add some more. He seemed annoyed that I was even asking, but I went to hand him my glass again, but instead he reaches down for a shot glass & fills it 1/2 full w triple sec & I said that's perfect & picked the shot glass up & walked back to my table. That's when I realized this guy has got an attitude, cause this whole process has gone on & still not one word from him! As a paying customer, he made me feel like I was a pain in the ass, but the real truth is....if they had a good bartender that knew how to make drinks, I wouldn't be bothering him to fix this drink that sucks, cause my drink would be spot on!
Next, we order our food...Dom & I both order cheese enchiladas. I ordered mine w extra cheese & green sauce. I ask our server what kind of cheese do you have...cheddar, Jack ? She says no we don't have either of those...we use this Mexican cheese blend, so I said ok, not really knowing what these enchiladas are going to look like. She walks off & Dominic says to me "if they don't have cheese, then how are they making our cheese enchiladas" & I said good question. I get up from the table & walk over to her as she's putting our order in & I ask her that question. She says well, it's a blend that we use & I said does it melt? Cause I like a stretchy cheese on mine & she says yea, it melts & I said ok & don't forget extra cheese on mine & she says yes I know. The meal comes out & mine looks exactly like doms...- no extra cheese, both had a drizzle of a thin white sauce on top. There is NO CHEESE AT ALL THAT WAS VISABLE....huh ? None on top of the enchiladas nor on the refried beans...NO WHERE! I don't say anything & we both start eating & Dom says this tastes like shit & I said I was thinking the same thing...but didn't want to complain since I already started off complaining about my margarita , but when he said that , I said OMG , I was thinking the same thing! I thought it was just me thinking this food just doesn't taste right, but we both were on the same page ! That Mexican cheese they used to make the enchiladas sucks! No cheese on top & the extra sauce I ordered (green sauce) that she charged me for...I never touched cause that too was very tart & sucked! It was so dark green, I thought maybe it was seaweed puréed ...lol , no kidding...that's their green sauce...dark & tangy!
When I tell you nothing was good in this place...I mean it!!!
This place is not a true authentic Mexican restaurant ...I think maybe they're from the Middle East & that's middle eastern food or cook we had...look at the name "Hussong's ", maybe Asian ...whatever it is, DON'T GO! I promise you'll be disappointed just like we were! I knew something was off when I'm in a "Mexican restaurant " & the music that's playing is classic rock ! Where's the ambiance of being in a Mexican restaurant ? I thought I was at PT's pub for a minute .... What a joke this place is!!!!!
They don't even deserve the 1 star I gave them, cause the whole place had an attitude! That place won't make it...you watch! They took over Embers space in Boca Park by the Cheesecake Factory . What a waste of $30 that was...I only wish I would have taken a pic of the food so I could have posted it here so you could see for yourselves that everything I've said is true! Neither one of us could finish our meals, & it wasn't because we got full...because it was all we could do to eat 1/2 of it, that's how bad it was! We both had 1/2 our meal still on our plates when we left....we just wanted to get out of there !
That was our 1st time there & our last
