I keep trying to give this restaurant another chance because I love Mexican food and it's so close to my house, but after last night, I finally give up. It's not out-of-the-ordinary for service to be slow (to the point of lazy), but it was so bad that I left a less than 10% tip. I can't recall the last time I left less than 20% for anyone, even when I've gotten bad service. The food took a full 30+ mins. to get to our table and when it arrived, it was cold. We were so hungry that we ate it anyway. My husband had the tamale plate which was not only cold, but the taste was so bad that it was inedible. I ordered a beef taco salad, which had a tiny portion of ground beef and was topped with caked, cold queso. Our kids had fajitas and these were at least edible, although my youngest son got shrimp fajitas, and the whole plate had a total of only 6 shrimp.
I finally give up! My husband and I keep going because we want it to be like our early days of eating at Sol's Taco Lounge in Deep Ellum, but it doesn't come close, and even worse, there is no chance of making a new memory at this spin-off. Gross, cold, slow, disgusting- and a waste of $50- that's my review.
Pros: we were able to use a coupon
Cons: nothing will ever entice us to go back
