There are only two places that I will eat Mexican food from in this town, and this is one of them…read more The serving staff has always, without fail, been nothing short of friendly and extremely accommodating. And while you will find the usual familiar favorites on the menu, you will find a plethora of things not commonly seen in your standard Tex-Mex restaurants. This is a great place if you've wanted to try more authentic food, but aren't quite ready to abandon old familiar favorites entirely. The decor is lively and bright, reminding me so much of places back where I am from. You can tell a lot about a place by the way the staff interacts with one another as well, and there seems to be a strong sense of camaraderie among them. Always clean, the prices are decent and you will not come away hungry. Seriously, for dinner, why bother going to any other place?

Just had an ap, two street tacos, and a top shelf margarita. Delicious! The queso with chorizo was LOADED with chorizo. Tacos were delicious. And the margarita...... well, the large will get you there. Definitely tasty and more authentic than many other 'Mexican' restaurants I have been to around the country.

I may be a little on the larger side but my wife is very skinny. Chips and salsa were delivered to our table then we sat for about 10-15 minutes before the manager came out and asked or anyone has taken our drink order. No was our reply as he headed to the back and sent a server out. She came out and did take our drink order then came back to tell us they had already shut down the soda machine. Who does that an hour and a half before they close? There were people eating although it wasn't very crowded. My wife ended up with water which she is not a fan of. She asked for lemon and when the girl returned she said they were out and offered her a lime. I ordered a margarita which came out with no taste of tequila in it. However it had a ton of ice. She took our orders which did come out fairly quickly.i had to ask for the spicy salsa three times and when it came out is was a vinegar based green sauce with zero spice. Upon leaving we found that the green vinegar sauce was an extra that they charged us $3.25 for. The food was less than average so I guess I should have checked the previous reviews first.

Tomo had a range of items for sushi, with salmon, yellowtail, tuna, and other items from the chef's choosing. The salmon was definitely my favorite out of the items I tried. They also had toro as the special that night, and it was super tender and fatty. The seafood udon had a savory flavor to the broth and lots of veggies and fish cake. It tasted more like a fusion udon, but the broth wasn't too bad. Both menu items also came with some salad with ginger dressing and miso soup. I appreciated how friendly the waiter was, although the service was slow. Definitely take your time if dining here. Overall, it was a great stop on the way!

Everyone who got the food I just mentioned really enjoyed what they ate. I got the lemon garlic shrimp Caesar salad. It was meh. The shrimp was good and cooked as expected. The dressing was from a bottle. The romaine lettuce wasn't chopped very well and had red/brown spots on the middle part of the lettuce. I wouldn't get it again. I will go here again and get fried chicken strips, fried fish, or something Mexican. I'd give the food I've eaten here in the past a rating of 3 and hoping it improves if I get some of the food I mentioned above. Service was good for such a crazy busy Saturday night so actually service deserves 4 stars.

Clay Oven Indian Cuisine

On our last stop in St. Joseph, we were craving a little spice in our lives, so we decided to give…read morethis Indian spot a try. The restaurant itself was clean, and our server was attentive and friendly. A couple of people in our group appeared pretty satisfied with their meals, but as someone who loves genuine spice and great Indian cuisine, my dish really missed the mark. The Food Breakdown: Chili Chicken: I was expecting an authentic, fiery Indian chili chicken. Instead, while there was a decent amount of chicken, it was mostly loaded with peppers and onions and tasted much more like a Chinese-style sweet and sour chicken. As far as heat goes? It had about as much kick as a fake fireplace. Garlic Naan & Sides: The garlic naan was actually the best part of my meal--fresh and full of flavor! Unfortunately, naan doesn't pair great with sweet and sour sauce. To make matters worse, unlike other entrees on the menu that came with rice, mine came out completely on its own ("in its birthday suit"). The Price & Verdict: For the quality and execution of what I received, it felt pretty overpriced. The naan was around $6 and the entree was a shade over $20. While others at the table had better luck, if you're looking for deep Indian flavor profiles or real heat, you might be disappointed.

My recent visit to Clay Oven left a lot to be desired, both in terms of food availability and…read morecleanliness. To start, we tried to order the veggie samosas along with another appetizer (mango strips?) for our table, but the kitchen was completely out of both. For the main course, I got the paneer tikka masala and a butter naan. The food was okay, but it was surprisingly bland and lacked the rich spice and heat you expect from good Indian cuisine. However, the biggest issue of the night was hygiene. The main white dinner plates brought to our table had a distinct, funky odor--almost like a musty, moldy smell from a clogged dishwasher. Fortunately, the serving dishes that held the actual food smelled fine, so I ended up bypassing the dining plates entirely and just eating directly out of the serving bowls.
