We were also offered sauces without being told there was an upcharge, & ended up being charged for an extra drink we didn't order. Tbh, this wasn't my first choice since this place has had service issues before. I guess I was too hopeful things would go differently.

The food at Tribu Mexican Restaurant was good, and the drinks were great. Our group of eight…read moreordered eight appetizers and more than 20 drinks before ordering our main courses, and everything we had was very good. Well they messed up the temperature of the meet on all the steaks. Unfortunately, the service experience was disappointing. Our server was not very friendly, and we felt rushed to order our entrees. The manager came to our table and told us that another reservation was waiting and implied that we needed to place our main course order immediately. The restaurant itself was beautiful inside, with a warm and inviting atmosphere that made the whole experience even better. The décor was stylish and thoughtfully done, and it created a really nice setting for our group to relax and enjoy the evening. I understand the need to manage reservations, but the way it was handled felt unwelcoming, especially considering how much food and drinks we had already ordered. Great food and drinks, but the attitude from management negatively affected our overall experience.

I visited last week with my sister for a quick lunch on Sunday. We've dined here many times over…read morethe years and have consistently had positive experiences! My 3 star review is due to the fact that gratuity was automatically added to our bill. In all the years I've been coming here, I've never had this happen before, especially on a bill of around $60 for a party of two. I feel this should be clearly disclosed to guests. As someone who has worked in the service industry, we were always told to communicate when gratuity has been added, as failing to do so can come across as misleading and may result in customers unintentionally tipping twice. I don't necessarily take issue with gratuity itself, but transparency and clear communication are important parts of good service.

Overpriced food and drinks at a place right next to the beach? Not shocking at all, I knew what I…read morewas getting into. And honestly I was really impressed with the back deck area, a pretty good amount of seating and a straight view of the ocean. The food actually was pretty good. But the service, like the other reviews I am now reading agree with, is this place's downfall. You seat yourself, then it takes 30 minutes for someone to comes over. The table wasn't wiped down between groups so we had a visually dirty table. Need menus? Okay 20 minutes after you sit down and then they will disappear for another 20 getting those for you. Then hand them too you and disappear for another 20 and at this point you have decided not only your drink but your entire meal because you have been sitting with the meal for so long. A cocktail, lemonade and water? You guessed it, another 20 minutes. It was like this the entire time. After we got our drinks, it genuinely took 40 minutes for the waitress to come back over to get our food order. It was insane?!! She was nice when she was there but as soon as we finished talking she ran off again before we could ask for refills or where the bathroom was. We were f u l l y ignored and ended up having to spend over two hours for what was supposed to be a quick beach day early dinner. We were starving by the time we got our food and were all pretty hangry. Tiny drinks, my friend's $14 drink was mostly ice and a massive orange slice, like two sips of drink in there. Got elote dip, which was actually pretty good but it came in a cup??? Like a drink cup? (Pictured here) so you couldn't dip your chip in??!? Like just a badly set up business. And had a small handful of chips, not enough for even our small party (3). They need a full overhaul of their system. I saw plenty of servers and the restaurant was a little less than 3/4 full, can't imagine how they operate when at capacity. In summary, not going to go back because nothing was there was worth my money. As a local, just eat at home or bring a picnic if you are visiting. (The only thing on the boardwalk worth the money is trying the "beach pizza") Upset about my $120 down the drain.
