HORRIBLE
GO TO LOS OLIVOS OR LA FONDA OR LA TOLTECA OR SOMEWHERE ELSE
Never in my life have I written a review on anything - I enjoy reading people's comments and wonde how people can be so serious but have never submitted one. However after today's experience, I am compelled to discourage as many people as possible from going to TP.
The food: greasy, bland, no flavor
The iced tea: I think I was drinking dirty dishwater
The meal: fresh from the microwave
My "TP special" was a store bought taco shell halfway full of cheap ground beef that wasn't seasoned. They gracefully placed my tostada ON TOP of my enchilada, which means the crunchy shell/tosada holding device was melted to the rest of the food by the time it made it to my table (a mere 6 minutes after we ordered - what does that tell you?)
That's it...nothing serious. No roaches or hairs or any major disaster. But never in my life have I been rushed out of a restaurant, minutes after finishing my "meal" (yes, I finished it because I skipped lunch in anticpation of this "authentic" dining experience!)
Not even 10 minutes had passed and the "manager" (some fat, sweaty dude in a blue polo shirt) came up to the table where my friend and I were chatting and he actually asked us to LEAVE because he had a wait .. !!! are you f-ing serious??? Is that how a family owned restaurant conducts business?? I thought the charm and appeal of a long-standing family restaurant was that they make you feel at home?? Don't these places thrive on word-of-mouth advertising since they dont have the resources that major chains have?? Kick people out on a Tuesday night at 7pm less than an hour after they sit down??
That's all. Have a great night :)
