The restaurant it self was very well decorated, but when we arrived there were dirty tables, the salsa bar was a mess, and the employees were very flustered. We can see employees frantically looking for customers to deliver their food and overhearing them aggressively telling dinning in customers to pay attention to their order number being called, when a table marker system would fix that issues.
After we got home to eat our food, 1) we asked for tomatoes on a taco dinner and the lady said ok, they didn’t add it. 2) asked if mayo came on the elote and the lady said yes, we were sad to see that there wasn’t mayo on the elote. 3) we got 3 taco dinner, the rice on all dinners smelled and tasted off. My partner noticed a bad smell to it so it was most likely old rice. Overall it was just very disappointing experience after hearing good things about the store.
Some pluses though were the taste of the tacos, our family enjoyed the tacos and the horchata was very good as well. But definitely not worth the negative we experienced today
A lot of the reviews here should be taken with a grain of salt since customers are incentivized with 20% off for leaving one, which makes many of them unreliable.
I got the steak burrito. I ate about half and threw the rest away. The steak was overly greasy/salty like it had been sitting in oil/grease all day to stay warm. There was no sear and no tenderness at all. The salsa was also very watered down. They advertise a “self-serve salsa bar,” but it looks neglected throughout the day and was honestly unappetizing.
The rice and beans were cold and bland. No flavor, and it didn’t seem like any butter or seasoning was used. We ordered the horchata and it was very disappointing—extremely watered down and almost artificial tasting. They do a good job with social media and that’s what drove us in but honestly, this place is not good.
The one positive was the lady at the front—she was kind and helpful. That said, she was clearly overwhelmed with orders, so service overall was slow.
We placed an online order (from their site directly, not a third party Uber Eats or anything). It started off bad because as we were double checking our order we realized they forgot 6 tacos. Which alone is crazy because it’s wasn’t something small or a side order. Then we saw the shrimp tacos we ordered and were very disappointed. It was 3 small shrimps per taco on a corn tortilla with a mountain of white onion. They had no cabbage or chipotle ranch that was mentioned on THEIR ordering site and the picture on the site look nothing like they did (attaching picture of tacos). We went back in to try to get a refund and the cashier told us if we wanted a refund we would have to wait for the manger to call us back, which is VERY SHADY. We had agreed to just switch them out for asada and wait on our missing tacos. Tell me why we waited a whole hour just to get the same sad and nasty shrimp tacos we had originally with a mountain of cabbage added to the already existing mountain of onion.
Stay away from this place if you actually want good Mexican food.
The steak is soaked in some kind of marinade and then they add more on the grill, its almost mush by the time you get it. The honey chipotle chicken tastes good but i had more onion than chicken on the taco (pic). The sauces are pretty bland, the hot (rojo) isnt hot at all.
I called after as it was a to go order and the guy on the phone was apologetic about it. The room is nice, the staff is friendly, but Speedy is across the street and its legit.
