Reviews
We went on a sunday night like 14 people and we found tables.
Is nice because they have a place when you can grab differents types of salsas.
Also they make the guacamole in front of you.
We ordered beer, margaritas, ice tea, enchiladas, tacos, chicken.
I recommend here
The vibe was very colorful and festive just like the other one. They had a pretty nice outdoor patio but it was too hot for that. We had a really nice server, young handsome guy. He was very attentive and replenished our chips periodically when they ran low.
We stopped by the salsa bar and grabbed a plethora of different kinds. Unfortunately there were a couple that were “bad” or started to ferment. It was not a pleasant way to find out and I didn’t want to point it out to the server because it may just be me. My husband did taste it and agree that it was like that but didn’t want to make a big deal of it so we just ate the chips.
I got carne asada because it was so good last time and hubby got some asada tacos. When my entree came, I noticed the rice looked to be either undercooked or possibly al dente because of the texture, you could see each grain and it wasn’t soft and fluffy looking. When I went to take a spoonful it was actually cooked but could tell it was overly saturated in butter. I have never had Mexican style rice cooked this way and it was a bad representation of it. I understand if they want to be more Americanized or cater to a certain demographic but rice is simple and it tastes best made the authentic way, not with a bunch of butter. It was inedible for me and I just worked around the rest. The steak had a good char and had nice flavor, but was a bit dry.
The tacos my husband ordered seemed a bit messy, and the meat was in large chunks rather than chopped in smaller pieces like how we’ve normally had steak tacos. Just didn’t seem like there was a lot of effort put into the food made that night and we will most likely go back to the other location instead.
Service was good, food and drinks were underwhelming.
While getting salsa from the salsa bar, I overheard someone complaining about their cold steak and said their food was warm-ish too. Our server was kind, but she was the only server working with one other server while the “manager” was frantically running around. Considering the restaurant wasn’t overly busy, I’m not sure why the manager was so overwhelmed or why the food was only warm-ish. It’s a shame because it should be packed like other locations.
Consider going somewhere else if you like your food and queso sizzling hot and tea less than $3.49. Another Anderson restaurant to mark off the list and $42 we will never get back.
