Service and quality have really declined in the last year. Cocina Real used to be one of my go-to places, but now it's hit or miss. I used to order the house guacamole to go since the restaurant is on my way home, but the last 3 times the avocados were in large chunks and nothing was mixed together.
Mom wanted to go there today for Mother's day because she likes the nachos. We went around 2:00 so the restaurant wasn't busy, but we had to wait a bit to be seated anyway. After waiting what seemed like an unusual long time for a waiter I made the comment to my mom that I thought there was only 1 waiter. The people at two nearby booths confirmed this. Eventually the waiter came over, but he went to the table that was seated after us. Then he took our drink order. When he served the drinks mine was wrong. I stated we were ready to order, but be mumbled something and walked away. When he came back he went again to the table that was seated after us. I want to mention the waiter is the same person who seated us and the other table in the first place, so he knows we were there first. He finally takes our order. When it was served, it was wrong, but not so wrong that we sent it back. I felt bad for the guy because he seemed to be the only waiter which isn't his fault.
All in all, the last 4 out of 6 times I've been there I was disappointed. I'm hoping they fix whatever the problem is so I can add them back to my go-to list.
