| - After our first few times here were amazing! Food was delicious, served hot and fast. My brisket taco was amazing!! Everyone raved about their meals. With a large family of 7 that rarely happens. Usually someone has a complaint. But we all left happy and full.
I was so excited to bring a friend visiting from out of town there for a quick dinner. It's always our tradition to go out for good Mexican food and then hit the movies. The dining room wasn't very full so I didn't think it would be a problem to get in and out so we could catch a movie 90 minutes later. I mentioned to the waitress that we were trying to catch a movie and she said that we would have no problem getting our food quickly as they weren't busy.
I ordered the same taco variety plate that I enjoyed so much the last time I was here, and it was terrible. We waited for a long time for our food... nearly 30 minutes after the 15 minutes it took to get drinks and have our order taken. My taco plate must have sat for a while before being served because the crunchy shells were like mush, so when I picked up the first taco it just fell apart. The meat was only lukewarm. My friend's fajitas were okay, but nothing special. We did enjoy the margarita special of the night.
Unfortunately by the time we got our check paid and my card returned to me it was too late to make the movie.
I'm all about second chances, thinking that the had an off night so when my daughter asked to go there for her birthday celebration, I said okay. To say that we had a bad experience is an understatement. We went for lunch around 1 pm and the place was practically empty. SCORE we thought! We will get served really quickly, because my 6 yo was beginning to get hangry.
We had a party of 7 and we have been going out to restaurants for many, many years so I understand there CAN be challenges to get the food out to everyone at the same time, but we waited 20 minutes after the first entree was delivered for the last one to be served. And OF COURSE it was my 6 yo's food. Thankfully they brought over a couple of bowls of chips to tide her over.
While we waited for the food I ordered a margarita on the rocks, and the first one they brought me was disgusting. I think they forgot to add lime juice. The waitress came over and I explained that the drink was very bad and she apologized and went to get me another one. She brought back what I hope was a fresh drink. I took a sip, it was okay so I took another sip and then found two fruit flies floating around with the ice cubes. I guess I should be thankful I didn't swallow them, unless of course they invited friends to the party that I didn't know about!
The food for everyone rated from okay to barely eatable. My 10 yo who would live on a steady diet of crunchy tacos every day if I let her, had one bite and couldn't eat anymore. The veggies for my 15 yo's steak fajita looked like they had seen better days and she said they had an off taste. Both girls felt sick later on that afternoon.
After the last entree was dropped off at the table the waitress never came back to our table to ask use how we were doing. In fact it seemed like all the waitstaff was gone. So I finally asked the hostess for the check and we left.
I'm very sad that what started off as a great place to eat has declined so much in the past few months. We won't be back. Now we travel out of town for really good Mexican food.
