Food and service is terrible. Nothing has any flavor and everything looks like it’s old. Found a fly in my food, they offered to remake it, I refused. Was not charged for my food but I still had to pay for my tea. The whole place has a dirty restroom smell about it.
WORST MEXICAN FOOD EVER! I hate to give bad reviews, but I'm sorry to say this one will not be good. It's like they give you the old stuff they need to throw away!! Wilted brown lettuce, mushy soured tomatoes, grey guacamole, soggy stale tortillas, shrimp cooked to rubber, and the salsa is just crushed tomatoes with chopped onions. I like to support local businesses, so I tried it multiple times over several months. Just as bad every single time. These are the same owners that have the location in AYDEN, NC. It's EQUALLY BAD!! Seriously. You can't make food this bad by accident. STAY AWAY...DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY. (what a shame. I was so excited to have a new place in Grifton)
When they first opened I LOVED this place, but the past few times I have been I have been highly disappointed even to sometimes not wanting to eat my food. The salsa taste like tomato juice out of a can with big chunks of cilantro in it. I got rice one time and there was so many carrots in it the whole dish tasted like nothing but carrots. The chicken has been rubbery, every time I get a steak quesadilla, it is like there is noting but fatty hard pieces of steak. It has good flavor but I didn't ask for a steak FAT quesadilla, I asked for a steak quesadilla. If you get a ACP or ACC they don't put nearly as much cheese on the dish as there should be. I didn't even taste cheese on it the last time I got one. But I got it to go and I was not about to drive all the way there. Im a chef and I try not to write bad reviews on local restaurants because I know the struggle it can be to own one, but for the menu to be as pricey as it is (with some items) is not good. I NEVER get ground beef when I go, it taste like blood and that is all the flavor it has. I am willing to keep trying this place (mostly because it is right down the road). However there comes a point where I am just going to give up on them. The kitchen staff is very friendly, there is one waitress that comes off with an attitude...if you don't want to work and be nice to your customers then your not cut out for this industry. The health grade is 90 . I mean thats ok but it could be better for sure. I have ate in the restaurant and have been the only customer in there at the time for at least 45 minutes to an hour and the tables all around me were dirty and were still dirty with dishes and drinks and salsa on the table when I left. Keep in mind they were NOT busy and they the waitress and waiter were just sitting around on their phones. To be the only Mexican cuisine restaurant in the area I expected better. I have recommend this place to people when they first opened talking about how it was some of the best Mexican food I have had, and now I honestly tell people I have no comment on the place and to just try it out themselves.
Good lunch deals, good food. I had the shrimp salad and a chicken chimichanga.
I have been disappointed on numerous occasions...when you call to place a to go order I was told he was busy n really didnt want to take order. I have been in recently n the service was terrible. The guacamole was just scooped out n nothing added to it...spoke to waiter n he just ignored me.
