Reviews
The service was horrendous from start to finish. The food came out undercooked, which is completely unacceptable, and when it was brought to the staff’s attention, no one seemed to care. To make matters worse, one of the servers was openly rude, acting as if customers were an inconvenience.
What really crossed the line was the atmosphere created by the staff. A friend of mine tried to make polite conversation with one of the women who works there, and she told him that dancing with him would cost $30 per song. That’s not just unprofessional — it’s uncomfortable and inappropriate for a restaurant setting.
Overall, it felt like the people working there didn’t want to be there at all, and it showed in every interaction. Poor service, bad food, and an unfriendly, awkward environment.
I give this place a big zero and strongly advise anyone reading this to stay the hell away. There are plenty of better places that actually respect their customers.
We headed for a table that seemed farther from the noise. Another clue: the table rocked. We moved to another table. Which gave us an uncluttered view of the big screen tv set on the wall beside us. Playing UFC ; the match at the moment pitted 2 women against each other, kicking, punching, wrestling. This would NOT be an evening of fine dining.
Then the service kicked in. A waitress with serious eyelashes and ripped-leg jeans plopped a plastic basket of nachos on the table, followed by plastic cups for water – in plastic bottles. The salsa was also served in – plastic.
We ordered seafoods – salmon for her, shrimp for me – and settled in for a long wait. I dipped into the nachos and soon slopped some salsa down my chin. Whoops – no napkins. I wiped my face with my hand and swore to reflect my dismay in the tip. Silly me.
The food itself, when it arrived, was surprisingly good. But it was the rest of the package: paper napkins (they arrived with the food), cheap cafeteria tableware, loud music, bright flashing neon lights, fist-fighting women on the giant screens – Mamma Mia, it was like the inner circle of Hell.
But there were surprises yet ahead. The bill charged us $6 for the plastic-bottled water. AND – there was an automatic tip added of 18 percent; I had planned to add 10, as service was absolutely minimal.
So our evening disaster was pretty much total. We sit here now wondering why we persisted after so many red flags early on. We can only conclude that some days you just wake up stupid.
Can we give zero stars? One star seems awfully generous….
Unless you’re a local drunk, stay away from this place. You WILL be disappointed and you’ll be writing another review like this one.
The waitress didn’t speak any English, which I understand since it’s a Mexican restaurant. But I thought at least someone there would speak English. My tacos were supposed to come with white rice and beans, but she didn’t bring them. When I told her, she argued with me in Spanish and said I was wrong, even though I showed her the menu. She still said no. I had to ask for the manager. She didn’t speak much English either, but luckily she agreed with me and finally gave me the rice and beans.
At the end of the terrible meal and service, they then applied an automatic tip to the bill at 18%. Then the waitress had the audacity to ask for an additional tip. I said no. This place will never see me again.
Nice bar to hang out and have lunch
