Reviews
I ordered Carne Asada – no guacamole, add onions & extra jalapenos (I don’t think this restaurant adds onions with their carne asada, it wasn’t on the menu anyways).
Nothing was seasoned and the steak had no seasoning. Also they put guacamole on the veggies so I had to say “hey there’s guac on this “.
I told the waitress that “the steak was not seasoned and said don’t worry about taking it off the receipt like I’ll add cumin & limes at home.” (I only had 2 bites & made my husband try 1 bite of the steak). She tells the manager who comes up to me, I have the manager try the steak and he said “yeah there’s no seasoning” & he’ll replace it so I can take it home. So we wait.
The waitress comes back and says they weren’t remaking the food. Cool.
So now it’s 9pm, so about 3 hours later and I’m starving & thinking about that carne asada, if they’d replaced it with actual carne asada then I wouldn’t be leaving this review, but they didn’t and sent me home hungry.
So, I’ll probably never be back.
Daiquiri was good, as was the birria tacos. If only they’d have replaced the carne or the waitress had gone back to ask the manager since the manager had said he was replacing then I of course would have gone back and this would have never been spoken about.
PS. The birria pizza was not sliced all the way and looked nothing like the review of the person from a couple months ago, so beware of that, it was so unbelievably messy.
We were seated quickly, which we appreciated, but after that the service really fell off. We asked several times for a highchair for our youngest and never received one. My husband eventually had to go find one himself. Our drinks sat empty without refills, and we didn’t get much check-in from our server throughout the meal.
Our food was good, but the overall service didn’t match what we’ve come to expect here. An automatic 18% gratuity was added, which we understand for a larger party — but with the lack of attention to basic needs (especially with young kids), the experience just felt below the usual standard.
We hope this was just an off night, because we truly do enjoy this place and want to keep coming back.
I look forward to going back and trying something new.. or maybe get the same thing.
Also at the table we were sitting at it, was near the bar on the right side. There were a lot of fruit flies flying around the table I had to keep swatting them away from our plates. .
Our server was nice though and provided good customer service.
