| - We decided to try Los Dos Molinos because it was mentioned in Phoenix magazine and it is one of the best outside patio areas on Yelp. It is in an obscure location-not downtown Central. The patio is very fun and eclectic. There are three bikes cemented around a fountain and a human-sized Statue of Liberty, etc.
My husband and I were meeting another couple there. We asked if we could have a drink while we waited for them and the hostess just said, "No". When we asked where we should wait, she seemed put off by the question. After a table was cleared for us, she asked, "So, I guess you don't mind sitting at a dirty table?" We then got up and waited while they wiped the table down. After sitting there for ten minutes, we had to ask for menus.
A younger man served us chips and spilled salsa on my pants, new jacket and Coach purse. I cleaned myself up with napkins and he came back a couple minutes later and asked if I wanted something to wipe off with??? I was in the food industry for years. Not that I'm looking for free food, but it would have been a nice gesture to at least offer a dessert on the house.
Speaking of chips and salsa. The chips are thin and crispy, my favorite. They are served with a red and green salsa, both very spicy. I like some heat but it would be nice to have a milder (at least medium) salsa as an alternative.
I ordered a house margarita because the same gentleman said they used all premium ingredients. The mix was awful. If you've ever been to Rocky Point, they use the same nasty green stuff. I guess it's authentic! My friend was smarter than me and ordered the $12 Skinny margarita, which was much better. Kind of pricey for such a casual restaurant though.
The food was very good. My shrimp were cooked perfectly. The beans were unlike anything I've ever had before-they were more of a chili bean, not the typical refried or black beans Mexican food is usually served with. My husband rarely eats beans and even he loved these. Everyone was very pleased with their meals.
Our waiter was friendly and efficient. The food came out fast.
I will give it another shot because the food was exceptional. Hopefully the customer service will be better next time.
