The Original Mexican Restaurant

Ate here late at night with my boyfriend and sat by the river. Waiter was super friendly and nice and the food was pretty darn good. Only issue is NOT their fault but a very intoxicated homeless man was bothering the hostess and I feel it's a little unsafe for her.

Paid over $100 for food that we couldn't eat... You know when you are so hungry, and anything tastes good? That was our group.. food was soggy, chicken tasted like it was warmed up in a can, and they couldn't bother draining the juices.... That is just a small part. I grew up watching Anthony Bourdain, and he said he would never eat in a restaurant if the bathroom was dirty. Let's just say the toilet didn't want to be in this restaurant. Should have left in that moment... I know this restaurant is right on the river walk, but save your stomach (and possible food poisoning) and go find real food.

The food here was the worst kind of tourist trap food. The queso was too salty to eat, the taco meat greasy and fatty, and the taco shells stale. We left with more than half of our food untouched.

The food was great and the salsa was something special. It did take us a while to get our food and the check, however it was a very busy time and we understood. It is a great location and we had a great meal.

The hostess was rude. She told us it was a 15 to 20 minutes wait for a table and we couldn't bring in outside drinks. We said .. ok, we'll wait. Do you need a name? She said no, just wait here. So we stood there finishing our drinks. Then a couple walks up and she takes them right in. My friend said Hey, we've been waiting. So she says, you're not finished your drink. So she comes back outside and my friend says, I'll throw my drink away, you could have at least asked if I was done. She says, we don't have anything available outside. We never asked to sit outside and we were never asked our preference. So we said, we'll sit inside. So we go inside, ordered drinks and food, and waited 35 minutes as people who arrived after us were being served before us. We called the waiter over and said, we're leaving.. can we get the check. And he said, you just had drinks, right? We told him we ordered food, too. He acted like he didn't remember. So we said, just pour the rest of the margarita in a to-go cup, because we're leaving so we can get something to eat before everything closes down. He said he couldn't do it, even though EVERYONE walks the River Walk with a drink in hand. This was done purposely and out of spite as we know the hostess complained about us to the staff.
