| - My first visit iturned into my last visit.
First off, I love Tex Mex food. I've been eyeing this place, as I dine at the Genghis Grill next to it WAY too often. So, I rolled the dice today and tried this place.
Waitress was friendly and chips, salsa and a Diet Coke arrived fairly quickly. I ordered the #6 lunch combo, essentially chicken over a bed of rice topped with their queso sauce. Sounds yummy, I though, as I've had it before at other Tex Mex places and LOVED it. At other places I frequent, it's called ACP, which is Arroz Con Pollo; Spanish for chicken and rice.
Sadly, the chips and salsa were the highlight of the dining experience. The chips are very thin and the salsa is OK, if a little watery. But they DID have flavor and were enjoyable as I waited for my lunch. I had enough salsa for about half of the chips and stopped when my food arrived.
My food arrived, and I knew I was going to be disappointed by looking at it. First off, they used shredded chicken instead of grilled chicken. I wasn't given the option when I ordered, so I guess that's the default. Secondly, the rice looked and tasted like it was left over from yesterday. It was just mush on my plate. If you looked for individual grains of rice, they were nowhere to be found. But, still, there was this mush of "rice" under my shredded chicken and queso sauce.
I ate as much of the meal as I could, which was only about half of it. I ran out of Diet Coke and sat there HOPING someone would notice I needed more. I sat in a booth right next to the kitchen and runner after runner passed my table, but noone asked if I needed a refill. My wiatress was assigned to a large group towards the back of the restaurant, so service suffered somewhat.
I finally put my credit card on the table, and the waitress finally showed up and asked if everything was good. I didn't complain, but I'm sure the look on my face told the story. I just asked for my check. The total was $10.70. I left a $1.30 tip for a grand total of $12.00.
I hope your experience is better, but I'll not be going back.
