3 /5 Will Belden: When we arrived, there were folks seated at multiple tables eating, but no staff on the floor. We waited a bit, grabbed menus and seated ourselves. Food was fine, margaritas were a good price and not TOO sweet. Waitress was attentive, but my less-than-stellar review is because: in over 35 (Im 50+) years of ordering food at Mexican restaurants in Texas or anywhere in the country (or Mexico), Ive NEVER been charged for cilantro. Now, even if you WANT to charge extra, notify the customer in advance. And dang sure dont charge $1.50 for some cilantro sprinkled onto some enchiladas. And when I call you on the "misc. charge" at the checkout (yes, waitress brought the ticket, but never came back, I finally figured it out and went to the front), dont just shrug and say "thats just the price". If it was "just the price" it should have its own line item, not just "miscellaneous".
Up until that point, the wife and I had planned to visit again when we returned to town for an errand in a week or so. Now...? No, thank you. I hope that unannounced $1.50 upcharge was worth it, Rancho Nuevo. Remember this: If you had asked me, I wouldnt have had an issue. NO ONE likes surprise charges. When you are irritated about my low rating, just remember you had a chance to correct it with me at the register when I brought it up.
