overpriced and lacking quality. i rarely find myself writing a negative review of a restaurant. mainly because i think that when someone owns a restaurant know what they are doing. this doesn't seem the case. we went here for lunch. i'd thought there would be a lunch menu, but they didn't seem to have one. why would a restaurant on a service road next to an interstate not have a lunch menu? you're competing with at least a dozen places within a half mile; how will you lure new customers?
our server acted as if he didn't want to be there and gave us the chips and salsa. the chips were stale, oily and cold; this tells me that they were probably made the day before and they couldn't bother reheating them. the salsa didn't have any particular unique taste that mostmexicanrestaurants have, because most make their own homemade salsa. being a person who could eatmexicaneveryday, i found myself only having one cup of it here.
i tend to eat fajitas when i go to amexicanrestaurant, namely because you can't microwave it. however, i didn't order it here because the cost was upwards to 20 dollars, which i find very overpriced. instead i ordered the fajita burrito, which costed 14-16 dollars, which i also find overpriced. however, i am a person who will pay any particular price, as long as the food matches its price. the burrito here is a $7 one at best. the fajita meat was hard and blackened; i'm guessing the cooks over cooked the meat and decided that wrapping it up in a tortilla was a sufficient way to sell food.
overall, i believe this place has potential, but it needs a lot of in-house work. first, revamp the food quality and cooks. you can't possibly believe people will pay $16 for a burrito that is made of over cooked meat; that's what taco bell is for. second, retrain all bartenders to properly pour drinks. we had some margaritas and they tasted off putting. there's a reason the drinks have particular measurements, you have to follow them. people aren't asking for triple shots of bottom shelf tequila in their drinks; it makes the drink worse. lastly, teach the servers to greet and have a positive attitude in front of guests. this seems like a fundamental concept, but clearly it needs to be stated. servers make their salary based on tips. if the servers don't care about greeting the customers, then they should not be working the front of the house. one day, i'll give this place another chance. i hope when i do, i can delete this review and write a positive one.
