Continues chatting with the one guy. About 15 people in the restaurant. . Have to ask for a drink menu , then had to ask for a food menu. HAD TO ASK .!!!! Seriously in place that had 2 people at the bar and about 15 people in the restaurant. Owner attitude bad. A waitress was trying to wait on me at the bar and she was confused, not her fault. The owner was a jerk. Like I am doing him a favor spending money in his place. Queso was like water Bye!!! Went to Don's seafood where the hostess pulled out my chair and bartender had a glass of water, drink and food menu before my ass hit the seat.

We were immediately seated. The beer selection was typical for a Mexican restaurant in the United States. Menus, water and chips were brought out immediately. We enjoyed some guacamole with our chip and salsa. I had a nice cold Negro Modelo and a burrito, enchilada and tamale combo.. Good food, served hot and a cold beer to wash it down. Perhaps not Nirvana, but perhaps a hint of it.

Honestly, it's nothing like the restaurant I was the first to review a couple years or so ago. Nothing here is the same except the peach margaritas. The food was a complete let down. No idea who is in the kitchen now but none of my usual favs here tasted the same. I didn't recognize and didn't eat the Carnitas. This was a serious disappointment. I literally had no idea what this was when I tasted it. Not carnitas. The enchiladas were also not good at all. But I managed to eat the meat inside, as I needed to eat something. The staff was more interested in looking at their phones and talking to each other at the bar than service. However our Server was friendly. It's clear that this location needs its old chef, and old staff back. The ones who made great food, and gave extremely good service. The ones that made you feel welcomed and at home as soon as you entered the door. Otherwise, this is a waste of their time and the customers. Honestly, if I had the heart to completely give up on this local favorite, I would have given them 1 star. But I'm hoping they can bring it back.

Dined in at Tacos & Beer on a Tuesday night, which was very busy as expected. We were initially…read moreseated on the patio, but after about 10 minutes no one had acknowledged our table. No one stopped by to say they'd be with us shortly or even offered water while we waited. There are only about four tables on the patio, and while two tables were being helped by separate servers, both our table and another nearby table sat unattended with menus the entire time. We understand busy nights happen, but acknowledgment and communication go a long way. The servers in that section spent most of the time laughing and talking with the tables they were already serving while completely overlooking the unattended tables. Even the hostess walked back to the patio area, looked around, and still no one was sent over to assist us. At that point, we decided to move to the bar once two seats opened up. We were helped shortly after sitting down, although the service still wasn't great. The bartender who assisted us came across as uninterested and not very pleasant. We started with the queso, which unfortunately came out room temperature. The pastor tacos, however, were hot and fresh. We also ordered a frozen margarita flight, but by the time the flavors were stirred in, the drinks had already melted down quite a bit. One positive was the lady working behind the bar, who was attentive despite not even being the one serving us. Overall, this visit just wasn't a pleasant experience.
