I am normally the BIG MEXICAN that eveyone ask where to go eat. I made the call RIO GRANDE and I should had ran for the BORDER. Let me start with the positive: the drinks...strong and pretty good. Ok now for the problems. Food: Very expensive for what you get. We ordered the Mixed fajitas, one plate wtih shrimp and beef the other with chicken and beef. Not only was there a lovely burnt flavor but the tenederness of cardboard. The rice and beans were fine just like at most places simple and not much to them. The portion was small for the price. $17+ for get 3 shrimp and enough meat to fill a TACO BELL taco. I can't make this stuff up!...The server spent more time hanging out with the other tables about 4 other large table through out had hot girls going to party that night so maybe the looser thought he had a chance? The queso was as good as the Cinemarks nachos and the Salsa was a snooze fest also. I know i was not looking for REAL mexican food cause i would have gone to like POLVOS or El RINCONCITO LA MICHOACANA, but this stuff was down right bad even for you white Folks that love TEX MEX. When we complained we did not get the food compt even though we left half of it and i never leave food. What we did get is $10 each to come back and eat more rubber dog food at RIO GRANDE! yeah no thanks...anyone want $10 gift card for $5?
Pros: Drinks were very Strong and Good
Cons: Food was burnet, very expensive, small portions, very bland and just bad!
