Possibly one of the worst experiences I've had in a long time
Used to frequent here haven't benn in a while but thought when in town why not
Go in get seated and o boy the crap show begins
Ordered the molcajete it usually comes with albondigas the waiter said I went out of soup ok I said let's get it without that than
Ordered drinks my son gets a raspberry ice tea he brings him back plain bitter tea and goes were all out use the suger
Than finally our food gets to table and lo and behold burnt and salty
I ask for a manager and won't ask andgin and wait finally get up and ask another staff to manage and nope the hostess comes over with some lady from the kitchen I explain she interpits I ask for them to re make my food and she goes do I want something else I said no I want a new molcajete she goes no because there busy right now and it will probably come out the same way I ask again for a manager she goes he's busy I get up and walk outside I walk back in after about 5 mins to process what happened and again one more time because 5 times is the charm can I speak to a manager and she goes well il see idk finally the manger come out I explain to him everything that's happened to this point even call over the hostess and she say what I've just said I go so ur kitchen is too incompetent to make my food the right way even a second time because thay can't handle a rush she goes in front of the manager mind u well I don't work back in the kitchen so...
Needless to say full comp and manager was saying write ups for everyone so I walked away frustrated upset and still hungry I and lo and behold they actually had albondigas soup the waiter lied but hey I digress

If you want good food and horrible then go to Don Sals. Literally one waitress was told only get our drinks even though we were ready to order. Took about 10 minutes to get our drinks ordered and weren’t even that busy. Waitress came by once to fill our drinks and someone else brought our food. I had to ask for boxes and then no one came to bring the check. I could have walked and no one would notice. First and last time coming in but might give them another chance.
