"02 MAY. I GOT A RESPONSE FROM THE CHEF EARLIER THIS EVENING APOLOGIZING AND HOPING I WOULD COME BACK AND HE WOULD MAKE THINGS RIGHT. I RECEIVED THAT AND MADE A RESERVATION FOR NEXT MONTH....A FEW MINUTES AGO...I GOT A RETRACTION THAT IS ...WELL...YOU CAN READ IT BELOW. THIS WAS MY RESPONSE TO THE RETRACTION: NOT A PROBLEM. I WAS POLITE. I DID NOT SAY ANYTHING IN AN UGLY MANNER. I TIPPED. I DID NOT IN ANY WAY INSULT OR DISRESPECT ANYONE. ASKING TO NOT BE SEATED NEAR CHILDREN IS A REASONABLE REQUEST (AND THE HOSTES ACTUALLY STATED SHE UNDERSTOOD). EVERYONE HAS PREFERENCES AND AS A PAYING CUSTOMER...I SHOULD HAVE THE SAME FREEDOM TO MAKE REQUEST AS ANYONE ELSE. THERE IS NOT ONE WORD IN MY REVIEW THAT WAS NOT HONEST. YOU ARE VERY HOSTILE AND DEFENSIVE. I REALLY LOOKED FORWARD TO THAT VISIT...PARTLY BECAUSE OF A REALLY LONG WEEK AND THE A/C ISSUE...BUT REALLY...AGAIN. IN A FINE DINING FACILITY ALL GUESTS SHOULD BE ABLE TO ENJOY THEIR EXPERIENCE (INCLUDING THE SOLO DINER). I'M SORRY YOU REALLY AREN'T ABLE TO ACCEPT MY OPINION AND WOULD RATHER MAKE BASELESS ACCUASATIONS. 26APRIL2024/1830 A THREE IS A LITTLE GENEROUS. I'M GOING TO VISIT ONE MORE TIME TO SEE IF THIS MEDIOCRE EXPERIENCE WAS JUST A BAD NIGHT...OR SERVER SPECIFIC. I MADE A RESERVATION HERE AFTER A CO- WORKER RAVED ABOUT THE PLACE. I DO ALOT OF FINE DINING...TEXAS, NATIONAL, AND INTERNATIONAL. I NEVER EXPECT PERFECTION...ALTHOUGH SOMETIMES I GET IT...BUT WHAT I DO EXPECT IS TO BE LISTENED TO...I SAID...I WANTED MY COCKTAIL AND TIME TO ENJOY IT BEFORE MY MEAL.....MY COCKTAIL NEVER ARRIVED (I DID ASK IF THERE WAS HOPE)...MY SALAD ARRIVED...STILL NO COCKTAIL...AND NO TOMATOES ON THE SALAD...THE SERVER TOLD ME SHE DIDN'T THINK IT CAME WITH TOMATOES...I SHOWED HER THE MENU...FINALLY MY COCKTAIL ARRIVED. I HAD ABOUT 1/3RD OF MY SALAD WHEN SHE BROUGHT MY ENTREE (AGAIN, I HAD ASKED FOR TIME TO HAVE MY SALAD BEFORE THE ENTREE). I PUT MY SALAD ASIDE TO HAVE MY ENTREE...WHICH WAS...DISAPPOINTING...I FOUND THE LAMB TO BE TOUGH AND CHEWY. THE GREEN BEANS ALSO TOUGH. WHAT WAS IDENTIFIED AS DEMIGLAZE...LOOKED AND TASTED LIKE JARRED BROWN GRAVY. MY OLD FASHIONED WAS EXCELLENT. THE HOTESS (LINDA, I THINK) WAS VERY NICE AND EFFICIENT. MY SERVER WAS...NICE AND NOT SO EFFICIENT...WITH TOO MANY EXCUSES. I'M DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE I HAD LOOKED FORWARD TO A DECENT EXPERIENCE AFTER A BRUTAL WEEK. IF MY NEXT VISIT IS BETTER...I WILL UPDATE THIS REVIEW...IF NOT, WELL...TWO WOULD BE MY LIMIT...BECAUSE WHILE I AM HAPPY TO PAY FOR FINE DINING...TONIGHT WAS NOT IT...TRYING ONE MORE TIME."

"Armenta 's Cafe has been around for about 28 years and has been serving the residents of San Angelo, Texas. Everyone in town knows, and has been too, Armenta 's and now it 's our turn. Armenta 's sits on a corner in a residential section of San Angelo with parking of the sides and a big parking lot across the street, where we parked. A good number of people are here and Armenta 's has expanded out to one side with a nice large dining area. We went in via the Main Front Door, were greeted by the Hostess and informed to take a seat anywhere you want. Found a booth and made ourselves comfortable. By looking around inside you can tell Armenta 's has been around for a long time and has a Very Warm feeling, but well used. It 's also kind of crowded with tables in the center stationed pretty close to the booths and the decor is what one would expect in a Mexican Restaurant nicely done, especially in the newer section. Maci is our Server and brought over a basket of their Very Warm Fresh Chips and a bowl of their Very Hot dipping Sauce, but very Flavorful and it is HOTTT. My Wife and I started off with a glass of water. We looked over the Menu trying to decide what we want. A couple days ago I informed my Wife and they have Fried Shrimp, which is one of her favorites and that 's what she wants. Maci returned with our waters and we placed our order. My Wife is going with the Fried Shrimp : 6 Large Fried Shrimp with French Fries, Rice Pilaf, Salad and Toast. I am having Armenta 's Fajita Enchiladas ; 3 Soft Rolled Corn Tortillas filled with Marinated Beef Fajitas, American Monterrey Cheese. Served with Roasted Tomatoes, Chile De Arbol Sauce, garnished with Guacamole. For our drinks my Wife is having a Diet Coke and I ordered their Horchata. It 's been a long time since I had one of those and I LoVe ThEm. Maci took our order and we enjoyed those Warm Chips and HOTTT dipping sauce that stuff is really goooood. More and more people are coming into Armenta 's and all the tables booths are filled. The adjoining room has it 's own outside door for access and they are almost filled up lots of people are here. Maci brought over our drinks, chatted with us for a short time and I presented her with the Dollar Bow Tie Award and she loved it. I don 't always hand it out early like this, but Maci is Very Sweet in checking on us as she has and this place is really busy she earned it. My Horchata is really good with a nice amount of Cinnamon throughout love that flavor. Soon my Wife 's Fried Shrimp arrived and those 6 Large Shrimp are actually Red in color due to the Breading, which has a nice crunch to them and tastylicious Shrimp inside (my Wife let me have one). Her Rice Pilaf is on the dry side but her Salad is Fresh and Crisp. The French Fries are also a little dry and no crunch but you can tell they are All Potato with nothing added. My Fajita Enchiladas is a Beautiful Presentation of the entire dish. The Enchiladas has a fair amount of Fajitas inside and they are different but pretty good. Love the Chile De Arbol Sauce on top, some really good flavor there. The Rice is moist with good flavor and the Re fried Beans (which was not listed) covered with Cheese is really good nice flavor. I actually had a couple of my Wife 's Shrimp and there were some French Fries left on her plate. I ate all of mine because that 's what I do and I do it very well. Nancy even made a comment about that, that her Mom would be very proud of me cleaning my plate like I said, it 's what I do. Armenta 's is pretty good, especially for the price compared to other places. You get some good food that will fill you up for a little money and some Darn Good Service. The whole time we were there we noticed that All their Staff is really busy taking care of their customers. When we left there were a lot of vehicles parked around Armenta 's and the big lot was almost full. We enjoyed our 12th Anniversary outing and Armenta 's is a nice place. We are going to lighten it up for our Dinner tonight because we ate a Big Lunch."

"2nd time in however 1st time posting. Wanted to share a meal. Started with the crab cakes which I had before. They were so fresh with great texture and flavor. Ordered the sirloin med-rare with mashes potatoes and broccoli. The sirloin was cooked perfectly, the mashed potatoes homemade Nd broccoli steamed perfectly. The sides could have used a tiny bit more seasoning. Overall, highly recommend! I neglected to snap the sirloin."

"I dined at this establishment for dinner, and the experience was a mixed bag. The meal cost over $100 per person. The food was decent, earning a rating of 3 out of 5, while the service was commendable at 4 out of 5. However, I found the atmosphere to be average, also a 3 out of 5. Overall, it was a satisfactory evening, but there is room for improvement in the dining experience."
