While the cuisine is standard Americanized Mexican food, it fills an important niche in our neck of the woods, and I will continue to patronize them whenever I am in town and hankering for a burrito or something like that.

The reviews here seem to be very misleading... Service was prompt and friendly. However the food…read moreis a different story. I think it may be that the standards are alittle bit lower in these parts, but everything just tasted bland. I ordered table side guac, which is like $12 and some change, but it wasn't made table-side... it also tasted bland and the avocados tasted like they were in a fridge that was too cold. I make guac very often that I know when an avocado might be alittle too cold... it had that grainy texture and taste. I also ordered the steak fajitas... the steak was not really even steak, but probably more what I would describe as overly done sliced or shredded beef strips. I've had better steak at Chipotle. It was also bland. There was no flavor at all. The only flavors you got were from adding the beans and sour cream to your fajita. It was also really tough. I was pretty disappointed, because for some reason, I pictured a sizzling platter arriving at my table, and guac made at the table as well. I then ordered flan for dessert. It was also pretty disappointing. The flan it self might have been okay, but they drizzled chocolate on top of the flan, which really masked the flavor of the flan and made me wonder what were they trying to achieve by adding the chocolate. The caramel syrup is already sweet... You can also tell whoever makes the flan does not know how to make flan. Flan should be smooth and silky. It can be light or also more rich and velvety. This one had so many air bubbles that it gave me such a feeling of concern with every bite. Either the water from the water bath used in the oven spilled over or the temperature was too high that it caused the flan to boil. And then the final straw was the electronic fee... I'm not from around here but is this normal? It makes me wonder if this is something they should disclose or tack on to their food prices... Yeah I just did not feel it with this restaurant... Probably won't be back... It doesn't mean the food isnt good, but it's just my opinion and I've been to several restaurants...

The atmosphere put you in the right frame if mind to be eating Mexican food, including showing a line of Jarritos soda bottles and the various flavors. Adding to the ambiance were the multiple TVs showing a futbol match. The service was good, but a little slow. In their defense, the place was busy, so, to be honest, the service was good.

The Watering Hole's fare is far from the best I've eaten -- but sometimes a basic burrito and a glass beer are exactly what one needs to fill their belly. I ordered the "Big Burrito" and my wife ordered the "Bean Burrito." Because they have no beer on tap we ordered bottles of Negra Modelo to drink. Both of our burritos were amply stuffed with meat or beans, cheese, lettuce and tomato, and served with refried beans and Mexican rice. Two ounce cups of salsa and sour cream were served on the side, and additional sauces (hot and mild) were on the table. Our burritos reminded me of the ones I make at home when I'm scrounging around the fridge to use up left over meat, refried beans, cheese and veggies. Even though the ingredients were casually tossed together and rolled up in a tortilla, and though it was not particularly attractive on the plate, the taste was fine, the quantity was ample, and our hunger was sated. I doubt that I'll come back specifically for the food -- but the location is convenient (right on US 51), the bartender/server was friendly, the kitchen was efficient, the price point was acceptable, and the food was satisfactory, so when it fits my needs, I'll come back.
