"This review is in regards to the bar area, not the restaurant area. Never eaten there so I can’t attest to that part. I had heard mixed reviews about Baja Bean in Staunton and have been to lovely chains in other cities. I flew into town to visit my family and my mom, siblings and I went to grab a drink to end the night. My mid-50s mother was denied entry at the door for forgetting her ID (understandable I guess; she went back and got it) and we sat at a table and ordered one drink each. Service was decent, drinks were good. My brother ordered a second drink and finished it and we went to go cash out. I paid for one of his double whisky sours and my sister paid for his second double whisky sour. Nothing out of the ordinary. Here’s the strange part:We go to cash out our tickets and notice that they seem off. We asked for our itemized receipts, corrected the charges with a pen, and the bartender returned with our updated totals. When we got our updated totals, we were charged two completely different prices for the exact same double whisky sour. When we asked for the tickets to be corrected again, the bartender told us we were drunk and it was the same number (we both had ONE drink). I circled the whisky sours on both tickets where it clearly says one cost $16 and one cost $19.50. The bartender refused to look into the discrepancy and replied with “stiff me if you want to, I don’t care!” Ma’am, we’re simply trying to figure out why the same drink costs two different prices, but ok yeah sure. We walk out without tipping because we were already overcharged and at that point she was just being nasty. As we’re calmly walking out of the bar trying to figure out what the heck just happened, another bartender comes running out behind us saying “they’re banned for life! all of them!” Umm yeah ok, half of us don’t even live here and the other half definitely won’t be returning at this point anyway. It was the weirdest bar experience of my life.If you’re confused by this, so are we. If you choose to drink here, make sure to check the itemized receipt before paying. Also watch your bank account because my sister ended up with a random $39 pending charge she had to dispute in addition to her actual bill.tldr; my family of four went in for one drink and ended up getting overcharged and banned for life over a bill they refused to correct."

"Great tex-mex food and overwhelming house margaritas at this big strip-mall restaurant and bar. Four stars for food and drink, but service still needs some training. House frozen Margarita was huge, strong and surprisingly good, plenty of lime flavor and intensely cold. Just $6. Did I mention strong!? Seriously, it's great when they actually put in some tequila, not just wave the bottle nearby LOL. Chips are not quite as dense as typical house-made corn chips, they're a little puffy and just barely salted. Salsa comes in a small bottle, pour as much as you want in your own little dish. Notably spicy, almost medium, great. Om nom nom, who needs an entree? On weekends you can still get the cheap lunch menu at midday, awesome. Just $7 for most combo plates is a total steal. I had the lunch tamale special, a chicken tamale with red chile sauce, a crispy corn taco plus mex rice. Excellent tamale, not dry. Taco had seasoned (but not sauced ground beef, lettuce and cheese, good. Red rice was much better than expected, a tad crispy in places. About that service. Not everybody speaks English, the kitchen was a little slow with our food even tho the place was pretty quiet and my order went in wrong. So my food came out wrong, our waiter fixed it but didn't fix the computer. And then of course the bill was wrong. Front counter people fixed that too, and threw in a free cinco de mayo tee shirt plus a coupon. They're really trying here. The huge cantina area has eight (8! TV screens, a broad choice of tequilas and friendly bartenders, very nice. The Alegre margarita is a frozen margarita with a corona kinda added on top. Hmm, a Coronarita. Uh, maybe next time. Very yelp geeky to be reviewing a Mexican place on cinco de Mayo I know, but hey, what can I say :"

"There are many better choices for Mexican food here in Athens. The last two times we have been to Agua Linda there have been serious concerns. Besides service being slow, poor customer service, etc there has been food concerns which were ignored. A reasonable person would assume if the food took a long time to come out it was due to being prepared fresh but not here. The food takes forever to come out and when it does it is cold, grease has gotten gelatinous/solidified in the food and the presentation is a haphazard plate of food almost mixed together. Again, this is not the first instance but an ongoing concern. In addition, two of the three meals ordered the meal was cold and not cooked and when brought to the servers attention they whisked the plate away without a word. A manager returns to the table and explains the meal was inspected and is good instead it becomes our fault for not understanding how the prepared meat should taste or be presented. Wait, there is more, yesterday we ordered and the meat was rancid smelling. We were told the meat in all the dishes ordered was acceptable to the cook and the manager stated the issue was the “onions’. She continued an attempt to convince our eating party that the rancid meat was due to onions which “sat in the bottom of a container” that may or may not have developed a bad taste and odor. Hmm, two of our dishes had no onions so I find fault in their logic. As quick as the rehearsed explanation was given the manager disappeared from table side to avoid any further discussion or questions. This restaurant is extremely over-priced for what you get (possible food poisoning included) and what you pay for… I try not to vent complaints in the open I would rather address it with staff and such and just not comment about a restaurants poor performance. I would rather save my response to be positive and to encourage others to visit the best restaurants. Needless to say We Will NOT return."
