First things first. How can your restaurant name be "El Tapatio", yet, you don't carry Tapatio hot…read moresauce!? So I've been coming through here for years, and I've never tried this place but I made it a point to today. I think I would have been better off walking to Burger King like I usually do. The place is bigger than it looks. Typical Mexican decorations and a ton of TVs. My bar spot was sticky tho. I sat in the corner of the bar. Some server came and brought chips and salsa and set it two seats over from me. I mean are they for me or? Well, they're still sitting there cuz I dunno. She didn't even acknowledge me. We were actually at 4 stars when I sat down and was greeted by the bartender, but here I am sitting, going on 40 minutes wanting to order another round of food as she makes drinks and waits on other patrons. Maybe she thinks my money ran out. I ordered a vodka Red Bull to start, and then I ordered a "Mezcalito", that was Mezcal and grapefruit soda, with supposedly a black lava salted rim. Nope, jist mezcal and soda tossed into a glass, no salt, even after ASKING for it, but they have plenty for margaritas, and micheladas, even chamoy. Its amazing how much effort she's putting into these cocktails for other people. I do know it's heavily influenced by locals, I talked to a really nice gentleman who came here with his wife every Friday night before she passed last january. Super nice fella. Oohhhh, If the bartender only knew I was a 40% tipper, eh? I won't be tonight. And I'm giving it about 5 more minutes before I pay my bill and walk out of here and go order food across the street. I ordered a "Texas" taco salad, that apparently had steak, chicken and shrimp. It was ok, but the white queso they plated it on is horrible. And it's a lot smaller than I had thought, or what the picture shows, henceforth me STILL sitting here wanting to order more food. They don't have tapatio, or Cholula if that's your thing. They have valentino, you know that hot sauce you put on churros. They don't have cucumber vodka, which really isn't a surprise, but they don't have mint either. The bartender told me people ask for mojitos all the time but they don't have the stuff to make them. Well whaddya know, she finally came back and checked on me after all this time. I'd say the greater of 25 minutes? And I ordered some soup so we'll see how that turns out. I really shouldn't have, but I'm still hungry after my little salad. I just ordered a single shot of Titos over ice, and she took it up on herself to make me another cocktail. I'm not drinking it. I'm seriously thinking about going to one star. As I still sit and wait for my soup. So my Caldo del Mar finally came out. I CAN say that it was piping hot, but I can also say that the flavor of the broth left a lot to be desired. I actually had to ask for probably an entire lime, and even put salt and pepper in it to flavor it up a bit. It had some tilapia and shrimp in it, and broccoli and cauliflower? I understand the carrots but that was strange. Anyhow, I just paid $86 before tip to let myself know that I'll never be back. It was okay, but just not good enough to go back. Looks like I'll be marching up to Burger King tomorrow! If you KNOW Mexican food, then you know this isn't good "Mexican food" if you DONT know, then you'll THINK it's good Mexican food. It's not. ***DISCLAIMER*** This pure, uncut, honest review is federally protected under Federal Law by way of Bill #EO14149.

This was an awesome Mexican restaurant. From the moment we walked in, everyone was warm and…read morewelcoming. The staff went out of their way to make us feel at home, and even the other guests created a friendly atmosphere. The highlight, though, was the food. Everything was flawless. The salsa had just the right consistency, a touch of heat, and layers of flavor from the cilantro, onion, and spices--they definitely didn't skimp on quality. The chips were fresh, crisp, and the perfect companion. For dinner, I had the carnitas, and they were outstanding. The portion was generous, the pork was tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The rice was wonderfully seasoned, and the beans had an amazing depth of taste with a perfect consistency. Overall, I loved every bite and would absolutely come back. Highly recommended.

Hello my little yelplings! I'm not sure if I'm just lucky today after my past week of weird…read morecircumstances, but I actually landed excellent barbecue, in back-to-back visits of barbecue joints! For those of you who don't read my reviews, only about one in five barbecue joints I go to make the cut. The last one that didn't make the cut, was that fast food place Smokin Ds in St Augustine Florida. Anyhow, let's get to Big J's. I'm parked across the street, which I park at semi often, and throughout the years, and have only been next door at the vape shop in the strip mall. I think the other times I've came by they were closed, but they weren't closed today and I kind of expected them to be. I wanted to have supper here last night, but I had to go endure tragedy at the Mexican restaurant in the same row. I noticed they were open today, so I mosied it over about 1:00 p.m. The place is really clean, it's a family run outfit, and they are ALL SO nice. So I wanted a brisket plate, but the nice young gentleman behind the counter told me that it wasn't ready and it would be ready in an hour, so I came back at 2:00 p.m.. I ordered brisket, collards and green beans. Again if you don't follow me, you don't know my culinary history and that on the smoke pit, but this place was just about as good as my own. My collards were fabulous, green beans were off the chain, my brisket was hot, tender and moist. So good! They went above and beyond, the young gentleman at the counter asked me if I was a truck driver after placing my order, which I am an O/O, and I got something free or got a discount, not too sure what it was but I got something! That means a lot, we spend weeks and months away from our families to bring ungrateful people the things they want, so it's a little gestures like that that really makes a difference to us. Well they definitely have a lifetime customer. I just have to make sure when I pull here that they're open. But I'll definitely be back! ***DISCLAIMER*** This pure, uncut, honest review is federally protected under Federal Law by way of Bill #EO14149.

Whatever happened to "CUSTOMER SERVICE"??? First time we…read morehave been to "Brothers Bar and Steakhouse". We eat out almost every day. We are local residents. I will admit, I parked on the wrong side of the patio. There was a door that appeared to be an entrance. I saw no Handicap Parking and thus parked there at the door as it was very convenient (we are 78 and 79 years old and have difficulty walking). We got out of the car and walked up to that door, and I attempted to open it, but it was locked. Thinking they were not open, I turned around to return to the car but then I heard someone attempting to unlock the door. I stopped and turned around, and the door opened and there were two people standing there. The female was somewhat smiling and said she was trying to unlock the door. The male said to come on in. I did ask the female jokingly, "been unlocking doors long (or something to that effect). I noticed on the door a sign stating, "emergency exit only". He said the main entrance is on the other side of the patio but to come on in there. I asked if I need to move my car and if we can exit at the same door and he replied, "leave the car and we can exit at the same door". I ordered a ribeye steak, medium well, but it arrived well done. I informed the server but went on and ate about half of it. The server brought me invoice which had a $6 discount on the $29.99 price of the steak which was a nice gesture. I paid with cash and he returned with a different invoice which shows the amount of change. I asked to see the original invoice as it shows a different amount. I failed to notice it shows the amount due if paying with a credit card. That seems to have upset someone and another person brought me that invoice. We then got up to leave and asked if we could leave through the door we entered and was told very emphatically, "NO". That is for "emergencies only". When I mentioned that I was told we could and tried to point out the person that told me that, about 4 people approached us and practically threw us out the front door. That caused us the walk out and around the patio area in the rain to get to our car. Needless to say, we were treated with disrespect and we were very embarrassed. If the overcooked steak had been the only issue, we likely would return. But when management and staff treat me like they did, I will NOT GO BACK. We will certainly tell friends and family the same.

Being a former fast food restaurant worker years back i know how it is to have the restaurant ready for closing and a customer walks in. She may not have been happy but she took my order and had my food made. I ordered the mushroom swiss thick burger (1/3lb burger with obviously mushroom and swiss cheese). They use alot of mushrooms and the burger is messy. If it hadn't had so many mushrooms (on top and bottom) it might have tasted better. Fries were pretty fresh. Place was clean, and I can't complain about the employees. I didn't take a pic of the burger because it was too dark in my car when I ate it, and frankly I forgot anyway.

Ohhh, but I DON'T, and especially at fast food spots, EXCEPT THIS TIME. I've eaten at this location at least three times, throughout the past year and a half... I personally never had any sort of issue, but from other reviews, I can see that others had. Right when I walked in, my man James, whom is at least the manager, but should be the owner, greeted me. I was having an issue with the app after playing a stupid Burger King game so I had to uninstall it and reinstall it, but he offered to help me if I couldn't get it going, but I'm about as tech savvy as they come. I finally got the app to work, and order my food while standing in house. James was greeting every customer coming in, just a great dude out there hustlin like no other. Super interactive, professional, just great all around. I ordered my signature Whopper with heavy all... I can't say that I've always encountered so much enthusiasm making my pain in the ass burger, but after The order came through in the back, the people making my food were just that, and strangely had a sense of excitement to make it!!! Hahaha never seen that before, but they're telling me it was going to be messy, and if I needed a fork, but no fork needed, and messy is how I like it. That's how burgers are supposed to be!! I had a free four piece chicken nugget with my order, and as I was getting ready to walk out, James stopped me and told me to wait for a few minutes, because he dropped some new ones for me because he didn't feel the ones that I had were fresh enough.. super nice gesture!! I'm not too sure what happened before with the old staff and management, with James is definitely bringing this place back up to par (and to be fair again, it's always been normal for me) but I'll tell you this, if I can finally buy a restaurant that will finally close escrow, I'll be coming up here, because this guy needs to be working in a high-end restaurant!! I sort of drove all the way here to Temple just to come to this Burger King honestly, so now I can pay it forward. The restaurant was really clean, and everybody that works together, for the most part, looks like they enjoy working together. He's put together a pretty cohesive unit, the customer service is tip top!
