Then the KJ lets some locals run the KJ show while he drinks. Bar tenders are amazing so I will be coming back on other days. This review is more centered on multiple and consistent bad Thursday karaoke ran situations. Bhavi is a cool guy and if he would actually showed up on time and ran the show it would run the way it's supposed to. Unfortunately, it's not the case, sad panda. Someone like me will be taking his business elsewhere on Thursday, and if the bar tenders have a say will not be happy about that. Just saying.

As I preceded to walk out towards the exit, I apologized to some workers who were cleaning I noticed it was around 2:06am so a little after closing their original time at 2 am. As I was headed out the door by the pool table, a bartender with a backwards cap, proceeded to yell ' Get the f*** out now' in an aggressive tone. It was extremely disrespectful as I was already apologizing and making our way out. No one came in the girls restrooms(there was a female worker there) to let us know anything.

Today, I encountered chicken wings so offensively bad, so disrespectfully dry, so dramatically flavorless... that I'm convinced they were created out of pure hatred. Dry? These wings weren't dry -- they were ASHES with bones. I picked one up and swear it whispered, "please... let me go." Flavor? Nonexistent. Absent. Missing in action. Flavor filed a restraining order against these wings. Tasteless? Bro... these wings tasted like a broken promise. Like someone shouted "SEASONING!" across the room and nobody heard. And the price??? They charged me like these wings were raised on a private ranch, massaged daily, and read bedtime stories in three languages. But what I got tasted like they were cooked by someone who was actively beefing with chickens. I didn't just eat bad wings... I survived a culinary tragedy. A dramatic novela-level betrayal. I'm still waiting for the background music to kick in and someone to scream, "¡NOOOO, MARIO, NOOOOOO!" If these wings were a movie, they'd be rated F for "FAILURE." El Centro, be warned: Not all heroes wear capes... and not all wings deserve to exist. I understand this place never cared about customer service, but not serving horrible food like this . It's like they were old Wings from yesterday and got thrown into the fryer again today. Hey man, I work hard for my money and when we can we eat somewhere in town, but this was totally out of control as far as laziness and disregard for serving even a decent product

Was craving Mexican food while in town and found this lively spot on Yelp. And boy am I glad I…read moredid. This place is best described as a trendy, somewhat upscale Mexican restaurant. The ambience is awesome, dimly lit with lively music bumping. Not only is the environment lively, the food and drinks are AWESOME. I sat at the self seating bar as I was dining solo. The bartender, very friendly guy, took my order. Forgot his name but he is a good looking guy, which sort of fits the upscale scene. Every table gets complimentary salsa tray which I presume has avocado salsa, verde, mocajete, and limes. The salsas were DELICIOUS. I do wish they gave some complimentary chips along with it. Everything I ordered: Carne asada burrito, substitute beans with rice - 9/10. Was very delicious especially when accompanied with the salsas. For the drinks: Oaxaca Old Fashioned - 10/10. I love old fashioneds and they nailed it here. Instead of whiskey, they use mezcal which was delicious. Agave Spritz - 10/10. Mezcal with prosecco. Fantastic. No words. The only thing I would recommend to the restaurant is including prices of the cocktails on the menu. After finishing eating I had no idea what the damage would be but it turned out to be very reasonable, $13 per cocktail. I wish I gave this place a shot earlier during my work trip, but anyhow if I am ever back in town, this is in my highly recommended list of restaurants. They also had one projector screen showing the World Cup game. They also have Happy Hour 3-6 PM. Parking is plentiful, shared with the rest of the plaza. Would I come back? You bet.

The table was grimy, sticky, and covered in bread crumbs. The menu I was handed also had bread crumbs throughout the pages. My hands kept getting dirtier and dirtier with every page I turned. The food was great! I ordered a Bellini (delicious!) Pronto Pasta: Spaghetti in Meat sauce with shrimp. The sauce was super tasty, but had no meat. And two of the nine shrimp were not deveined. That was disgusting. But when I told the server, her go to was to make excuses, "they come that way." Me, "you understand that's disgusting, right?" Her, "The shrimp are already prepared when we receive them out of the bag." So, no apologies. No accountability. Just mediocre service. The waitress herself was good, except for making excuses for the kitchen. Just tasted the Tiramisu. Dry. Very disappointing. This is one of the restaurants I used to dine to treat myself. An hour drive for this was not worth it.

Our second visit was on Valentine's Day two years ago, and unfortunately it was very disappointing. We had reservations, but by the time someone came to take our order, several menu items were already sold out. What made it more frustrating was that they continued seating people without reservations while guests with reservations were still waiting. We waited more than a year before coming back, hoping our first experience was the standard and the Valentine's Day visit was just a bad night. Unfortunately, this visit was also disappointing. Service was slow, we were served the wrong wine even after spelling it out for the waitress, and the whiskey I ordered was also incorrect. The food was not cooked properly, and the lobster mac and cheese came out cold. For a $300+ dinner, I expect much better. I understand this is the Valley, and I genuinely try to support local small businesses, but consistency matters -- especially at this price point. After two poor experiences in a row, it is hard to justify coming back.

Their prices were higher tonight because it was sort of a fund-raiser, but usually a draft beer is $2 and a mixed drink maybe $5. They were selling burgers and dogs etc also, but after my 3 beers I opted for a bowl of the Louisiana Gumbo which hit the spot at $3 a bowl. My friend commented the place needed a face lift but I loved it just the way it is, all kinds of military posters, uniforms and memorabilia on the walls, murals painted in the hallways, etc. If my memory card hadn't gotten full before we got there I would have gotten some interesting pictures. I enjoyed listening to all the conversations around me. The place definitely had a friendly atmosphere and I would love to find a spot near me in San Diego I could feel this comfortable in.
