"Ordered $58 worth of carne Asada quesadilla’s they brought us out chicken. When we told and showed them we ordered and paid for carne Asada. They told us it would be out. They never brought it. When we went back up to ask about it. The owner told us we get what we got and that’s final. We again showed him what we paid for and what we ordered. A hand he pulled out the hand written ticket (in his own writing) he said we made the wrong food yes but once it was set at your table it’s now your order. I continued to tell him no that’s not how it works. I asked him if he orders a hamburger and gets eggs instead would that be acceptable. He said no. Then he proceeded to say. “People think Mexicans are the problem. But it’s you people always trying to scam Mexicans. I wish you people would stop coming to Mexican restaurants and told us to try Taco Bell next time”. Myself being white and the company I was with being a mix of Mexicans and blacks. The owner then proceeded to call the Mexicans with me fake Mexicans and should be ashamed of the company they keep. Mind you all of us speak Spanish as well. He finally made the food and told us. Then he told us was going to put all of us on social media claiming to be scammed. Two other tables, the cook and the security guard all took up for us.This racial tantrum and unwillingness to correct the error of their own admittance. Was completely uncalled for. I have been dining here for 10yrs atleast once a month and have turned several people onto them.I find myself torn on what’s more disgusting. The owners behavior and racial remarks or the feces smeared urine saturated bathrooms."

He only did it to send money to Mexico. There's a store next door where they provide the service.

I never got to try the food at this restaurant because of a frustrating experience I had with an Uber Eats order. The first driver dropped my food, and when a second driver was assigned, he was informed that the first driver had thrown the food away. Unfortunately, the owner refused to remake the meal I had already paid for and ended up arguing with the second driver for fifteen minutes. Ultimately, my order was canceled, which is just ridiculous. While I understand that the customer isn't always right, I truly believe I was justified in this situation. I could see if it was a large order, but it was just a simple pozole. I know that drivers dropping orders is rare, but because of how drawn...

"First, the restaurant is super cool. You enter and immediately see the open kitchen and bar below. We were seated with a great view of the working kitchen. It was our anniversary and they presented us with complimentary bubbly and a menu that read Happy Anniversary at the top. Our server was prompt and kind. We ordered apps and our meal at the same time. Apps were a little slow but we don 't mind taking our time. The andouille sausage over grits was good but a bit oversalted. The croquettes were good but somewhat mushy. Overall flavor profile was good. Some time passed after completing our appys and began to notice the kitchen plating dishes and entrees being served to every table except ours. Again, not in a hurry so we weren 't upset. But it became excessive. Large groups seated while we had appetizers were served their entrees. Small tables seated after we finished our appetizers were served. The kitchen can put out food fast, just not ours. So now our apps are expanding in our belly and our excitement about our meals are diminishing. Finally our entrees arrived. My snapper raw. So sad. The gnocchi was ok but again, way over salted. But the flavor profile was so good. This had the ability to be amazing. My husband ordered the wagyu flank steak. It was just not good. He barely ate one piece and left his sides as again they were way way over salted. Our server noticed that we barely ate our meals and spent time asking for feedback. She was very kind and the manager discounted my meal (which I did not want, but appreciate). Anyway, we probably won 't be back. Good presentations. Very good flavor profiles. Failure to deliver overall though due to extremely salty, improper cooking and extraordinary wait times. Hopefully they can improve as some other recent reviews reflect similar feedback."
