| - We met our adult children at La Ristra last Tuesday evening. We have eaten there before--nothing to write home about, but centrally located. Last Tuesday we had terrible service. It's always busy, so I'm not sure why the staff was having such a hard time. We ordered beers and after 15 minutes, we were brought a larger size than ordered and the wrong kind of beer. When the server brought us new beers, they were still the wrong size but the correct beer, so we kept them. I ordered the special which was beef tacos for Taco Tuesday. When they arrived, I laughed. The tiny tortillas had one tablespoon of beans topped with a half teaspoon of meat, and the whole plate was swimming in some sort of liquid. They were cold. I ate one but it was so soggy and gross, I could not attempt to eat the second one. The waitress asked how it was and I told her to please take it back and show the cooks---it was so bad. She avoided our table for the remainder of the meal until the check arrived. She had not comped my two tacos, nor had she charged us for the smaller beers which we had ordered. I assure you I can count on one hand the times I have sent food back. I cook often and we eat Mexican food often. I can't imagine serving anyone soggy tortillas, and we're not sure why the meal was not comped. With so many restaurant choices in the area, we certainly will choose elsewhere next time.
