| - Rancho De Tia Rosa is a beautiful restaurant located in our 'hood' in Mesa and we have patronized it for all the years of it's existence mostly because of it's close proximity more than anything. Today 3 of us met for lunch, slightly past the the normal lunch hour, arriving at 12:45pm. The dining room was full to capacity, the outside patio seating was full to capacity and we waited about 10 minutes for a nice table, were seating, waited on promptly by a charming and attentive waitress. Our drinks and food came promptly, given the amount of people in the restaurant.
Suddenly there seemed to be a great deal of commotion behind us, followed by loud, very terse conversation, in Spanish, followed by some crashes and thumps. Seems that the OWNER had a crew of Mexican men IN THE CROWDED DINING ROOM ripping out booths and replacing them with new ones! Apparently THE OWNER was not happy about something and yelled, screamed, and cursed (I understand just enough Spanish to know that when I hear it) and more or less humiliated the men, not to mention disrupting the entire dining room and this went on for at least 20 or 30 minutes!
The OWNER was demeaning, rude, disruptive and quite frankly a complete jerk. We had taken a guest there to dine with us, which was a complete embarrassment to us and we all 3 vowed that we'd NEVER go into this restaurant ever again.....or recommend it to anyone else.
Overall it was a very disappointing experience and quite frankly we couldn't tell you how the food tasted because we just needed to get through the meal and try to have as nice a visit as we could despite the clamoring and yelling.
