We have been eating at this restaurant for years. We’ve always been very satisfied with the service and the food. However, last Sunday we went (party of 4) and the service was TERRIBLE. I will take a little bit of the blame because we are accustomed to going on Friday or Saturday for dinner, and have never been on a Sunday before. We did not realize that they close at 9:00 on Sunday and we arrived at 8:00 PM. But what made me so upset is that one of the female servers was sweeping (and sweeping very hard and very fast) right in our direction as we tried to enjoy our dinner. She was pushing debris right towards our table. *We were seated right next to the cash register. And as if that was not bad enough, she also mopped the floor, including right in front of the cash register where folks are expected to go and pay their bill. Despite the very slow service, we still were going to manage to get out of the restaurant before they closed, if she had NOT mopped the floor while we were still sitting at the table. My youngest son has had 8 knee surgeries, my oldest son had a knee surgery and my husband has had a knee surgery, so we were not about to leave the table and cross a wet floor just to get out of their way by 9:00. We waited until the floor dried before we left, and still managed to get out by 9:10. I completely understand they want to get their side work done and clock out and go home. But for the love of God, customer satisfaction and customer safety should ALWAYS take precedence. I thought it was extremely rude of this girl to be sweeping debris in our direction and mopping so that we could not safely stand up. We could handle the slow service but I felt she was trying to send us a message “You came late and we want to go home…..get out!” Another thing is that my husband ordered a steak dinner and asked for “red potatoes” with his steak and they brought him flimsy, cold French fries. He said something and asked for his red potatoes that he ordered and shortly after they brought him some “white potato fries” which was still not what he ordered and paid for. But he is not one to complain so he kept them. I tasted them and they were awful. They were under cooked and flavor-less! There are a ton of Mexican restaurants in Terre Haute. We live clear down south, by Regional Hospital. We could go anywhere we please, but we always drove out of our way to eat here, but it was the LAST TIIME we eat here. I’m done. I was a restaurant owner years ago, and I can tell you this is no way to treat your customers. I have also worked at Olive Garden as a server and as a hostess so I know a thing or two about restaurant and hospitality. Final thought: Very disappointing.

Service was quick, frozen margaritas were amazing, food came out quick and was delicious! I work in a Mexican restaurant and the guacamole dip for my appetizer was the best I’ve ever had. My boyfriend loved the cheese dip. The restaurant was clean, seating was comfy...if we lived closer we’d eat here all the time
