"Comfortable, unassuming family restaurant in the Safeway plaza. Great chips and salsa. Today was our second time in and had a weird experience. At the beginning, we verified with the server that today was Tequila Tuesday (TT) and that tequila was half off. He said just for shots though, not margaritas. Two of us ordered margaritas anyway — they were very sweet, not sour, and pretty weak. So the guys decided to take advantage of TT and ordered 2 shots, so they could pour it into their margs. Server asked which tequila, we said whatever the house one was, he hesitated, and we said “just whatever the cheapest one is” and he said okay. He brought over 2 massive shot glasses, so we thought maybe he thought they were ordering 2 shots each, but we thought no big deal. Later we get the check and see that he charged $21.50 per shot. We thought that was crazy for their cheapest tequila, but we should at least be getting the half off, so we told him, and he very nonchalantly said “oh I forgot to put on the discount”. Instead of having a corrected bill, he came back with the tequila menu, and had the gall to tell us that we had ordered the house tequila, which is $43 per shot, so he had charged us correctly! He pointed at the “Clase Azul Reposado” in the middle of the page, with no indication on it that it should even kind of be confused as the “house” tequila. We obviously objected because we never even looked at the menu and had clearly just asked him for their cheapest tequila. He said okay and after some time, he finally came back charging us $8.50 per shot. This was still wrong since that is the normal price and not the TT price, but by this point we just wanted to get home, so let it go. The food is fine and the server we had last time was great, so not sure if we for sure won’t come back because of this experience, but it was just weird."
