so sad to experience that drastic decline in our neighborhood mexican joint - it used to be a…read morefavorite regular on our rotation, and now i don't know if we'll be back at all.
happy hour: may as well be removed from their website, as it's pretty much decimated in the restaurant. it's not advertised anywhere, and when we asked what the specials were it was $4 off the super nachos, and a discount on the margaritas.
mom and i each got a margarita, and they seriously tasted like liquid from a windshield washer fluid jug. so chemically and terrible. we also got the nachos and they had clearly been sitting in the window a while as the chips were as soggy as flour tortillas.
i got the mole enchiladas, were were actually decent, but the avocado mush was dark brown, and after asking if the mole was sweeter or more savory (she said savory) i was disappointed to taste pure chocolate.
here's where the annoyance took a nosedive (the frustration with the mis-represented 'sad hour' was just the start.) i wanted to order a beer, something that can't be messed up... but our server was actively avoiding us. i had to flag down another man to get a water refill during dinner, and it appears it wasn't just a fluke. she would make eye contact, see me wave, and turn around. she ignored my 'excuse me, ma'am?'s, and seemed intent on not serving us suddenly. mind you, it was not busy - she had three other tables in her section that had diners, and one had already closed out (jealous!)
finally she came over and asked if i'd like another drink - it had literally been 25 minutes since our plates were empty and our glasses were dry. i asked for a box and the check... box was dropped and she scuttled away before i could as for the check. another ten minutes... finally i had to walk up to her at the bar and ask for the check.
when we paid, we had been charged an additional $2 for salsa, and charged a $5 fee to use a debit card. the sign on the door stated only credit cards would incur the fee, and specified debit cards would not. lastly the margaritas were not marked down at all as advertised. i was ready to argue all these points, but i didn't want to waste another hour waiting for her, so we left.
unfortunately this experience was so awful i don't see any reason to return.
