| - I'm going to try and be accurate and choose my words carefully. Being a Mexican, I certainly didn't expect this to be authentic and I was correct. The food is similar to an El Torito or that type of Mexican food, but its what we expected. My husband and I both ordered margarita rocks, the drinks came in glasses that looked like they should hold a hot fudge sundae instead of alcohol, but that could have been excused if the drink was good. The margarita was so sweet we had to order a separate shot to lessen the sweet, and when we got the bill, that one tiny shot cost more than the entire margarita and it was only house tequila, which just tells me how little tequila was actually in the drink. OK, on to my next complaint. I had a combo plate which included a chicken taco and enchilada, rice and beans. The taco shell was a pre-formed shell similar to Taco Bell's cheapest dollar menu taco, except Taco Bell adds way more filling, this taco was so measly, at least El Torito fries their own shells, it was ridiculous.
The other complaint with my meal was presentation. It seemed just slapped together, the rice came on my plate, but the re-fried beans came in a little dish on the side. There was no shredded lettuce or guacamole or sour cream, nothing, just blah. My husband had the same complaint with his meal, average taste, like a chain restaurant, but nothing else on the plate. My last complaint is that they don't serve complimentary chips and salsa. That's usually a given at Mexican restaurants, but not this place. We are members of Landry's select club and all Golden Nuggett restaurants are included, so when you dine at one they send you a survey to complete and I didn't exactly give rave reviews, but I'm being honest, presentation is everything when the food is mediocre. Well apparently the manager saw my review and chose to phone me at 8AM that next morning to find out why, the only problem was that we were on vacation and obviously stayed out very late the night before because its Las Vegas, so when the blasting cell rang, I jumped out of bed and basically blasted the manager for calling me so early. Needless to say he was sorry and said he would phone me back later, but never did. I should have called him back to explain, but I just let it go. Well this is my review and I really wish I had something better to say.
