So he ordered only 2 meals. We drove back home. The chicken quesadilla was made with shedded chicken green peppers and onions. Family member has eating disorder (AFRID) and started instantly vomiting and it continued until they started to vomit blood. We order the same thing every time. This has been ordered every week. This time they really dropped the ball. They wasn't even busy. If anyone has a food disorder or food allergy, think twice about ordering here. He confirmed the Quesadilla "Grilled chicken and cheese only" twice when ordering. Order at your own risk. They obviously don't care about any medical conditions.

They even helped 2 families that came in after us first before getting our drink order. The place was kinda dated but looked like most Mexican restaurants do on the inside and clean but not spotless. Maybe we caught them on an off night but didn't seem super busy to be bad at the service.

There's only one person in there that I think can legally pour liquor. It wasn't the greatest, so I ordered a Paloma, well actually quite a few. I kind of felt uneasy when he put grapefruit soda into the mixing tin and shook it. But they were pretty good anyways. They had ABC News on the TV. But luckily they were playing mariachi music, so I didn't have to sit there and listen to a bunch of fake journalists continue to spread propaganda and make believers out of the mindless sheep, but to me that's an indication of their values. Inside decorum was nice. Sort of like a Caribbean / Mexican restaurant theme, at least to me. I grew up in San diego, I've been to Tijuana hundreds of times, and actually lived in rosarito so I know Mexican food and everything Mexican. All the wait staff were super nice. The guy at the front of the house who was also the bartender was super cool. My waitress was nice also. He always kept coming back to check on me which was nice. I ordered the Cancun fajita taco salad. It wasn't as big as I was expecting, and they served it without any dressing, so I just asked for salsa. I knew that wouldn't get me through the night, so I ordered the caldo de mariscos, or siete mares as I know it. Now, for being Middle Tennessee and not coastal, it was really damn good. I had a ton of shrimp, a good amount of the other seafood, and I was quite surprised that the crab was cooked perfectly. Not soggy like other places, it was actually crisp and snappy. The head on shrimp were tender enough to eat with the shell on. The broth was pretty good. I'm stuck down here until tomorrow afternoon, so there's a good chance I may go have breakfast in the morning. If I do, another review is sure to follow!
