Hot Taco has gone from awesome to awful. Our last two experiences were not good. First, on a Tuesday night, four of us just sat there for no kidding ten minutes waiting for our server to come by. When we got up to leave, the host said not to leave because our waitress was coming. Sorry, too long for an empty Tuesday night.
Second experience was especially frustrating. We had a group of six on Friday, March 11. The tacos were all dry and not very good. But what really irked me was our waitress. I paid cash and was supposed to get $17 change, but I only received $12. I assumed it was an honest mistake. I sat there for about five minutes before I approached our waitress; she immediately pulled the missing $5 out of her boot and said, "oh yeah I was going to come back, I thought I may have forgotten to give you change." I literally didn't even say anything to her, she just blurted that out after me watching her go about her normal business for five minutes. Honest mistake? Maybe.
Won't be going back to Hot Taco until they clean up their act.
