    Last night at 8:30 p.m., I had a reservation for four guests, including myself, to celebrate my mother-in-law’s birthday. My family and I have dined here multiple times, truly love the food, and were excited to return for such a special occasion. Unfortunately, our experience this time was very disappointing. After waiting a few minutes, the hostesses seated us, and we were greeted by our server, Wendell, who went by Wade. His greeting was not necessarily rude, but he seemed confused and unsure of what to do. He mentioned that he would be right with us because he had another table to attend to, which we completely understood. When he returned to take our drink order, however, he repeatedly hesitated, forgot what we had ordered, and had difficulty keeping track of our requests. He would say things such as, “Oh… what was that again?” before trying to recall our order. Wade explained that it was his third day, and we genuinely tried to be patient and understanding. Everyone has to start somewhere, and we recognize that learning a new job takes time. However, throughout the evening, our entire party felt increasingly uncomfortable. There were multiple instances of disorganization, including difficulty getting our order right and dishes being left behind us. The most disappointing part of the experience was how my mother-in-law’s birthday was handled. Wade told us that he had forgotten to put in the order for her birthday dessert. When it came time to sing, he placed the dessert behind her and began singing without it being properly presented. Even other staff members had to remind him to wait. Later, while we were still eating our desserts, he brought us the check and then suddenly asked, “Oh, wait, how was the dessert?” He appeared to have forgotten about the birthday dessert again, which made an already uncomfortable situation even more awkward. I want to emphasize that my disappointment is not directed at Wade personally for being new. Rather, I believe there should be more preparation, training, and support before a new server is placed on the floor independently. A guest’s dining experience, especially when celebrating a special occasion, should not feel disorganized or uncomfortable because a server has not yet received enough practice. I kindly ask management to address this matter and consider having new servers shadow experienced staff members until they feel confident and are adequately prepared to handle their own tables. We returned because we have genuinely enjoyed this restaurant in the past, which is why this experience was especially disappointing. I hope this feedback is taken seriously and that steps are taken to ensure future guests receive the level of service this restaurant is known for. We came to celebrate a special birthday, and unfortunately, the service took away from what should have been an enjoyable evening.

    Ordered lamb chops and kids taco. Lamb chops were decent. Kids taco was not great. My daughter loves the tacos and this location was so bad she didn’t took two bites and couldn’t finish it. Richmond location seems to taste fresh and less like grease.

    I usually dine in during lunch time but today I ordered delivery. Let's just say I was treated like a step child. I usually get the Chipotle Shrimp when I dine in it's one of my favs. When I got it delivery I regretted it immediately. It looks like it was just thrown in the box, no butter, no utensils, the rice was dry, shrimp over cooked, and no queso fresca on my order as it is supposed to come. I was very disappointed

    Horrible experience! We never received our order. My family of 3 order fajitas and kids meal quesadilla and waited an hour after already waiting 35 minutes for a table in a restaurant that wasn't buay. After wasting 2 hours we left because our food never came out. We spoke to the server and floor manager , but no food was never brought to our table. We were told they were checking on it 3x...no food EVER came out. It was even more upsetting when the two tables that were seated After us got their food. We were told some items take longer to prepare and it should be out shortly....shortly never came and we order a chicken quesadilla and fajitas-chicken & beef. The two proteins that are in almost every entrees at a Mexican restaurant. This experience was very inconvenient and unprofessional to have guests sitting an hour After ordering and still did not receive food.

    Brought my best friend here straight after picking her up from the airport because I told her the food & service is always a win. Management had 1 person working the entire bar. She worked hard and was simply overwhelmed. We never even got order drinks no chips for salsa. As I told Management, you should never get that type of service when paying a minimum of $40 per plate. 😒. The quality & taste of our fajitas was good. Kudos to staff for trying but it was chaotic. No more Southwest Freeway Pappasitos for me!
