Classic!! The deluxe wet burrito was fantastic. Mango margarita was tasty. And the service was good. The wait wasn’t long for 2 people, a little long for larger groups. The flavors were just like I remembered from long ago. I was a little sad they were out of the fried ice cream though.

Good burger, great Loaded Wet Burrito.
– Cheeseburger – $15: It comes by default well-done which dries it out losing the juicy goodness. The patties cook down a bit smaller, too. The bun was over toasted, but good otherwise. They do not carry pickle (which is fine with me). The lettuce and tomato were fresh and crispy. It could have used a bit more cheese. Very hot. Good, but not amazing.
– Fries (comes with the burger): Medium to small cut (almost shoestring-cut). Very hot. They actually needed a little salt, though I didn’t add it.
– Chips – $3.50: Delicious. I was munching on these when I wasn’t eating or talking otherwise. Nothing special, but just done right. Medium amount of salt (just right).
– Salsa: They served three salsas, two mild, one hot. The hot was very spicy (almost habanero hot). I thought both were missing a seasoning or something to fill in the flavor, but it wasn’t bad. Maybe a tad watered down?
– Loaded Burrito – $16: Loaded and delicious!! Had beef, ham, queso blanco, green peppers, jalapenos, onions, and tomatoes (no rice) which was a great combo. It was wrapped in a tortilla and topped with a burrito sauce and colby cheese. My friend had it was said it was really good.
– Service: Mediocre. We were helped, but most of the time, we did not see the waitress return until five minutes or more later, even after requesting items. It was really slow and there was plenty of staff. My water was not filled very quickly, but it was filled. They did get everything right, though.
– Atmosphere: Very authentic classy Mexican style. Everything is orderly and professional while maintaining a sense of a comfortable and laid-back atmosphere to spend a relaxing evening with friends.
They add a 3% fee for all credit card transactions. They also have daily specials (different ones every day) which were posted in the bathroom, but I didn’t see it anywhere else. I included what was on the table and in their menus that I did have.
– Conclusion: Great Mexican food, amazing atmosphere, okay service.
Visited on a Thursday at 7pm.

We just dined in earlier tonight…
Our server, Triston, took great care of us. The deep fried ice cream was amazing! Everything else was mediocre, at best. My mango margarita took 15 minutes, and the shrimp fajitas were a JOKE! A huge pile of peppers and onions, an entire bag of shredded cheese, and only EIGHT, TINY, shrimp. Gave us a good laugh at least.
The manager was what really upset me, though, she just walked around the entire time and never actually did a single thing. Not one “table touch!” Not one finger lifted to help her servers, who clearly needed it!
We initially waited about 8 minutes to be greeted, our server was busy, but the manager walked past twice during that time. The table next to us was very loudly complaining about how their server disappeared, and they had to get up and ask another server for boxes and a bill.
I’m happy our server was so friendly, and that the ice cream was so delicious, but YIKES!!

Waited 10min to be helped when I could see my food over the counter ready and already paid for, my 20 dollar steak burrito had two long pieces of steak. That’s it.. can’t even cut it up and spread it out. Beans all at one end and veggies at the other. Poorly made.

This is the first time trying a wet burrito from Beltline Bar. This is the Old Mission wet burrito. I would say it would be a personal mission to actually finish it all… in one sitting. It’s HUGE and packed full of goodness. It has tender steak, like actual steak chunks, guacamole, sour cream, green chile sauce, rice and beans, absolutely smothered in queso blanco sauce topped with tomatoes and cilantro. I would say the queso is some of the best I’ve had. The restaurant was very busy during lunch, however, my order was delivered much quicker than I expected. Highly recommended!

This used to be a favorite stop – after tonight I will never be back. This truly was the worst dining experience I have ever had. Food, drinks and service were all 0/5 stars.
The service was slow. We sat without being seen by our waiter for a solid 15 minutes, food took forever. Consistently confused over simple orders.
The food itself was awful – do NOT get Fajitas. Truly – two people in our party got them and they were pretty much not edible. So greasy, the beans and rice sat ON the fajita plate covered in grease. No lettuce, pico or sour cream on the side. TINY portions compared to most Mexican restaurants. The burritos were fine but the chicken inside was unseasoned so pretty disappointing.
Queso and margaritas were both over priced and nothing special. (Did I mention OVER PRICED – their prices are higher every visit)
Anywho stop in for bad food and a bad time I guess!

Ordered delivery and it was horrible. Burrito had nothing but meat in it. Was cold. Called and notified the manager and she didn’t even offer to remake it. Quick way to blow $50. I don’t recommend. You’re better off going to QuickTime burrito.

Great food and great waitress,(Brooklyn) as usual. Only issue came when we had to pay and used a gift card issued by them. It was explained to us that it had a zero balance. Explained the situation to the waitress and she got her manager(Erica) to further assist. She all but accused us of using the card elsewhere and trying to use it again there and that she couldn’t do anything to help. I pulled up the transaction history on my phone showing it had $50 when the waitress took the card and the balance got brought to $0 despite the balance not being removed from our bill. So clearly an error on their end and she refused to acknowledge or assist in any capacity, telling us we would have to “deal with it upstairs”. Fortunately Brooklyn worked to get two more coworkers involved who provided further assistance and clarity. Those workers acknowledged that it was their issue and it wasn’t right and apologized for the manager’s behavior and attitude during the interaction. Thanks you to the waitresses involved in helping salvage the situation and not allowing the end of the night ruin a nice night out with my family.
