| - On a beautiful Thursday, they were on a wait for 20 minutes at peak. I think part of their challenge is they are understaffed on bus staff. I noticed tables empty slow to be cleaned and seated. Hopefully, management will invest in more staff hours quickly, before reputations are solidified.
Food wise, we appreciated the better than normal popcorn (when the tray was not falling on the floor). Certainly, salsa and chips are often better, but good popcorn is better than bad chips. It also helped solidify the American side of the Tex-Mex theme (as opposed to full Mexican). A little surprised that enchiladas come as a pair, not triplets but the best tasting of the bunch with real flavors layered. The fish tacos (3) better than expected (although I would prefer a little heat in the ailoi/mayo). My pork burrito with green chili sauce was fair - the pork chunks are large but overcooked, therefore dried out. I asked for more green chili and waitstaff brought chihloula sauce. The rice tasted pre-packaged. The borracho beans were good with a heavy garlic flavor. All the prices seem a few dollars higher than typical for the area and portions.
Iced tea was brewed not 'off the gun'. I hope they keep up with cleaning to keep the flavor clean. Kitchen is half open. Many big screen TVs playing a wide variety of sports (personally, I find it distracting but they seem to be everywhere these days). The place felt very spacious, and in fact felt like they had removed a few tables from the floor. I really appreciated being able to move around comfortably, and more importantly having the staff be able to move with ease and speed (it is a large place with a fair amount of space to cover) with fear of them bumping our table that is often a challenge at smaller spaces. Bar has new taps with a wide selection of local brews as well as sangria (white and red) on tap. No wi-fi and seems to be a cell light area (plus the metal ceiling).
Next trip, we are thinking of checking out the full portioned nachos that look like they could feed a few people as a meal.
A place to enjoy some of the brief days when sitting outside is pleasurable in Fitchburg.
