"The food was the most hum-drum, bottom-barrel food service, hot-plate-scooped stuff I think I have ever had in a Mexican restaurant. The rice was dry and stale and I 'm guessing was reheated from a weekend batch. The chicken was tender, but obviously pulled from a hot-broth holder, flavorless and NOT sauteed. Just NOTHING of inspiration here; cheese wasn 't even fully melted on American-ized plates for the kids.It was just super pedestrian, cafeteria-style food. Maybe there are some amazing specialties offered here, but these were not mentioned to us in any way when we ordered, nor highlighted anywhere. No flavor, no pizazz and not even a value in the price department as portions were sparse. Gaudy signs everywhere outside instructing customers what they can and cannot do. It 's a shame, because the outdoor seating was nice and certainly a draw. No spirits/drink list. Owner insisted I walk inside and check out the selections. Seeing Espolon in the bar well, I asked if this was the well selection for the evening. It clearly was and owner was reluctant to admit so (he was obviously out of his normal well), so I ordered the well tequila. Staff could not provide me with an itemized check, rather I was handed chicken-scratch w/ a total circled. Had to demand a basic bill. After a 15 minute wait to get my check (on a slow Tuesday evening after 7pm), owner charged me full price for the well tequila. Classy move, guy. Pass on Joseph 's C-list Azteca. Kid-friendliness: Outdoor dining has ample room for kids."
