| - Was just here this most recent Sunday, or, the night before Labor Day. Modern Margarita has a pretty nice atmosphere with a sweet patio. Good location. We decided to come here because Bourbon Jack's was too busy.
The chips and salsa are tasty but do NOT make your customers pay for sides of salsa. I don't care what the flavors are, they don't warrant $4 per salsa. Whether you're a party of one or a party of four, you get one free salsa to go with your table's chips. We all know how fast that goes. This is awful for the customers and screams greed. If you're going to charge for every additional dish of salsa after the first, it should be per person in the party. For example, if there are six people in your party, your table is entitled to six sides of salsa before the charges are added on. But actually, scratch that idea. Just how about not charging for salsa at all?
My friend and I ordered the chicken nachos as an appetizer. They were super good! We agreed it was the best part of the meal. We looked under the "entree section" of the menu and noticed the only two items there are a burger and a hot dog. So, our eyes wandered to the taco section, which apparently aren't bold enough to be entrees in their own right. I ordered the carne asada tacos meal, which was $16. They've won awards for those exact tacos, and I don't know how. It sucked. The meat was tough and flavorless. My friend said the same about the tacos he ordered which I think was pork. The rice just tasted bad. I guess the beans were okay.
The waitress took her time, but it wasn't bad enough that it warranted leaving anything below 15%.
We're friends with some bands that play at Bourbon Jack's across the street, so, after our meal we headed back over. Upon arriving, they asked where we had gone since we didn't eat at Bourbon's. I said "Modern Margarita." They said "Oh, nice! How was it?" I said "Well, they charge for salsa!" And that pretty much killed it for everyone. We're in our mid to late twenties and whenever we eat out for Mexican, you better believe that salsa gets destroyed. A group of four of us could easily eat seven or eight of those salsa dishes. That would be around $30 in salsa. There is no way we're paying that. Just make it free and you might keep a table of four around long enough to spend well over $100 in drinks. The salsa is good but isn't good enough to charge for.
Free chips and salsa are a staple of solid Mexican joints. The servers know this, otherwise they wouldn't cringe when informing their table's of this charge. Considering they have other locations I doubt they'll make a change. But if they do we might come back.
