michoacan

michoacan massacred our mothers day. i took my elderly parents to michoacan mexican restaurant on 7870 w. tropical pkwy, las vegas for a mothers day lunch. instead it was a huge disappointment. after waiting 40 minutes for our food my mother received the incorrect dish. we had to ask multiple times to have our waiter comebackand he picked up the dish, no apologies for the error. about 25 minutes later after the rest of us had finished our food my mother did finally receive the correct dish but was sloppily put together. we asked for the manager several times, which we later found out was the owner, mark berry. finally after a bit the owner came over and asked what was wrong without introducing himself. my father asked if he was the manager and he arrogantly said, "i can be." we explained the situation and his response was, "what do you want me to do about it?" my father told him to fix the problem and the owners response was, "you were unhappy the minute you walked in." we were mortified by the arrogance and condescending attitude from mark berry the owner! it ruined the lunch and we left. i went to mark after my parents walked out and told him his behavior was unacceptable and he should not have spoken to my elderly parents that way especially on mothers day. mark's response, "well i am only human, what do you want me to do?"

poor service, arrogant and unaccomodating owner and marginal food. that is what you get at this restaurant. there are so many other wonderful mexican restaurant choices in town that know how to treat a customer, avoid this place.

they can't make rice. i had never been to this restaurant before, but i heard good things so i thought i would give it a try. my hubby and i went today around 1:30pm and ordered the lunch specials. i had the shrimp rancheros with rice and beans, while the hubby had a chicken dish with a cream sauce and green chilis...his also had rice and beans.

first, let me say that we were given chips, salsa, beans, and fideo when we first sat down. we both thought the chips, salsa and beans were good, but we didn't like the fideo soup. the soup was really salty and i have made better fideo from the soup packet i buy at the grocery store.

ok so the food overall was good. i liked the shrimp and the sauce it came with was really delicious. my hubby really liked his chicken dish, and i have to admit, i thought it was good too. the beans were pretty good and even my child liked them. one complaint i have is that the rice was disgusting. the rice was hard and not authentic at all. no one really came around, so i didn't have anyone to complain to about the rice. there was a bus boy that came to fill our drinks once, but we were not sure who our server was.

a different guy came to take our plates, and i told him in spanish that the rice was hard. he offered to get us more, but we were both full, so we declined. he wentbackto the kitchen and the cooks tasted the rice and decided to make more. the guy camebackto tell me thatnks for letting him know about the rice.

overall, i think the food would have been overpriced if it wasn't for the lunch special pricing. i am hispanic and i have eaten at many many mexican restaurants in arizona, where i am from, so i have high standards. i probably won't comebackhere again unless its for a lunch special. the food is not worth the price for dinner, especially since they can't make rice. i am not the greatest cook, but spanish rice is one thing i can at least make.

vegas' best mexican!. i have not had such wonderful mexican food and incredible service in ages! we went a little out of our way to try this place and will gobackwhenever we are in the neighborhood! great food, great service, clean, very modestly priced and a wonderful afternoon! the owner even checked on us to make sure everything was great.

great place!!. went there for a dinner and had a wonderful experience. the food is great and the service was wonderful. the prices on the regular menu seem to be at the high end of the scale range. the combo plates on thebackpage seemed to be at a reasonable price point. we ordered a chili colorado beef burrito, #15, chili rellano combo, #1, and a cheese enchilada combo, #4. all were excellent. a good selection of beers/wines/tequilas are available. the restaurant on tropical parkway is situatedbackin a corner of the shopping center. it's a short walk from the parking lot. no parking directly in front of the restaurant.
