Bad Food - Bad Service

[gja1000]

We went to celebrate 3 birthdays this evening (Abigail, my mom, my son-in-law) at our favorite Mexican restaurant - but not the location we usually go to. Sadly, the service was bad and the food was really not up to par. It was so unusual - my daughter and her family eat at this location often, and even they commented that the food was not up to par. Nothing tasted like it was supposed to!

We waited 15 minutes for them to take our drink order - so by then we ordered our food with the drinks. It was probably 5 more minutes before she brought our drinks - by now we've been eating chips and hot salsa for 20 minutes with no drinks!

Then it took 25 more minutes to get our food and she brought the food to half of us and the other half waited a good 5+ minutes to get their food. My order and my daughter's order was wrong (but nothing we couldn't tolerate). But the worst part was that nothing tasted like it was supposed to! It was just OK, not GOOD as it usually is.

Very disappointing. HOWEVER, I just noticed on the bill that she didn't charge us for any of our drinks!!! We each had tea or soft drinks, so that was a nice compensation - although I don't think it was on purpose. I thought when I paid the bill that it was low, now I know why!
