Summary: Terrible service, blah food, slow, on a night with 1/3 of their seating taken.
This place WAS my favorite place for Tacos in Scottsdale, last night I took my friends who were out of town here. They were apprehensive of my decision bc they had gone the night before and a server never came to their table, after 15 mins they left. I'm not sure what's happened at Salty but there were multiple empty tables that the hostess couldn't seat us bc she had to buss them first (why is your only hostess bussing tables). We had to wait at least 10 mins on our waitress to show up, the margaritas were hand squeezed in Mexico, I know this because they took as long as the drive time to the border to arrive, and they weren't even delivered by our waitress, this other woman just put all 5 on the table between 2 of us and turned around and walked away, very weird, our food took longer, we joked with the waitress that we had heard one of the cooks had died in the kitchen, that went over her head. By this time we had been people watching enough that we noticed that every table around is was complaining.
Finally, our food came, our drinks were empty and once again, some guy who we had not seen all night delivered our food (where was our waitress?), the tacos were not on par with what I had promised my friends, we also had to go steal a stack of napkins and silver ware from behind the bar, we couldn't ask the bar tender bc he didn't even notice us waiting.
Lastly our bills, we waited 30 mins for them after asking for them, 2 stops from the manager, which we obviously complained, just like the 2 other tables next to us, another 10 mins past they finally came, they were messed up, it took another 10 mins for them to come back, and to top it off I didn't have cash so I gave the waitress my card, this took another 7 mins. I know the times bc this got so comical that we started a timer and started betting on the over under of how long each trip would take.
All in all we walked in at 7:55, got a margarita and Tacos, and were finally released from being held hostage at 10:20 pm. Completely unacceptable.
The waitress did relay that The manager offered us a discount on our next visit, which he couldn't give on this visit, and he was some how going to remember us from this visit. Bone head!
What has happened to my favorite place?!
