| - Good food and drinks, but painfully slow and inattentive service. A friend and I came for dinner and drinks around 7pm on a Wednesday. The hostess was very nice, but was inexplicably overwhelmed and flustered. I know hosting can be stressful, but the restaurant is small and casual, and there were plenty of seats available. Perhaps they were short on staff (?), but this process was so much more difficult than it needed to be.
Once we were finally seated, it took at least 10+ minutes before we were acknowledged by wait staff or even given water. We were informed of the special taco of the evening (fried chicken), our drink order was taken, and we were then given more time to decide on food. I ordered a margarita and my friend ordered a beer. We also ordered the bean dip to split, and each ordered a taco (yes, one taco each, because that's what you get for $9). Our drinks then took another 10+ min.
The bean dip was ok, although I think it was literally just beans with a little cheese and one cilantro lead. I'm still not sure why it was served with toasted garlic bread rather than chips. Our tacos did come quickly and were rather good, thankfully. The pork was tasty and the tacos were a good size.
Once it was clear that we were slowing down, we were offered donuts that our waiter claimed were "just out of the oven"! We passed and just asked for the check (heads up that it's cash only). As we were about to leave, our waiter took our cash- which was clearly inclusive of tip dip due to the $1 bills on top- said "I'll bring you change", then ran off before I could object. He never came back.
I really wanted to like this place, but it just wasn't worth it. Their home-smoked meat was good, but not worth the slow service. If I were in the area again, I would not return.
