| - I drive by this place on my way to work every day and their parking lot is often full. I was curious to see what the fuss is about, so I purchased a groupon. My boyfriend and I walked over there for dinner one night and were hoping for some really tasty food.
We were seated promptly and our server was very friendly, our water glasses were kept full and our food arrived fast. The atmosphere was nice, candlelight, with nice chairs.
I don't like to feel pressured into buying wine, beer or cocktails, and our waiter seemed a little pushy on that front... He almost seemed surprised and annoyed we weren't ordering drinks.
But the main complaint I have is the the food was not very good. We ordered chips and salsa, and the salsa was bland, kind of tasted like one of those 99 cent cans of salsa from food city. I ordered a grilled chicken burrito. I guess I should have studied the fine print on the menu more. The server asked if I wanted shredded, grilled, or crispy chicken. I asked for grilled and that added $2.95. He then asked what sauce I wanted on top, red, green etc. cha-ching another $1.95. Not to be the master of complaining here, but my $12.95 burrito was now a nearly $18.00 burrito. I know I had the groupon, but the point is I should love an $18.00 burrito. I should go home, think about it, dream about, tell me friends about the best burrito in town, and try to mimic the ingredients to create my at home version. The chicken was dry, the $1.95 red sauce tasted bland, I kept wishing for some hot sauce. The burrito was suppose to include some passion fruit sauce... there was nothing passionate about the fruit sauce, I don't think it was even in the burrito. It was just kind of a bland sloppy mess.
My boyfriend ordered the pork verde enchiladas, and I tried them. They seemed alright.... I gave him my burrito and he who is in the clean plate club, did not eat it. Our bill was $40.00 for two dinners and a order of chips and salsa. The groupon helped, but even for $25.00 I felt like the food was sub par. Anyway, I can walk here in 3 mins flat, and I have not returned.
