"This was our first time here. It was a little busy during lunch but not so where it took 10 minute before getting a hostess to come seat us. Nevertheless we was seated and our waiter was prompt to come get our drink orders. He seemed rushed the whole visit and I wasn 't able to ask him several questions because of his steady disappearing act. Who knew I was going to get lunch and a magic show!! I had a mango margarita and it was so yummy and refreshing. I 'm not much of a drinker but I 'm glad I had it there for what came later... I asked when he took our food order if he could bring out some warm corn tortillas and butter (like I get at any Mexican restaurant) and he flat out told me they didn 't do that.. umm ok?!? Our food arrives and on my 2nd bite of the taco the shredded lettuce gets stuck in my throat and I can 't swallow. I 'm choking. Not one person other than my husband came to assist me as I ran outside to fix myself and grateful I didn 't die in front of everyone. I came back inside and I 'm shaking and hence the part where I 'm glad I had a margarita there to calm my nerves. I picked at a cheese enchilada and ended up taking my food home in a box. I mean who could eat after that. My husband loved his lunch and mine as he ate it for dinner last night lol, I still wasn 't able to eat out of fear. The only thing he said he didn 't like was the taco as it wasn 't as good as another business in Denham Springs. I get it! The little few bites I was able to enjoy was really delicious and I might try them again someday."

"This place was highly recommended to me. I visited with my three grown kids. When we walked in there were maybe two or three occupied tables. The sign said, seat yourself , which we did, and it took about 5 minutes to be acknowledged by the waitress.She took our drink order and didn 't come back for about 7 minutes. Then she took the order for me and two of my kids, and then abruptly walked away, not realizing she hadn 't gotten four orders. She realized her mistake after a few minutes and came back.When the food was ready, it was brought out by the kitchen staff, not her. I point this out to emphasize that even though the place was nearly dead and there was at least one other server in the place, she still seemed to need help managing her two tables.The food was perfectly acceptable. Nothing worth writing home about or making a return visit. We ordered an appetizer sampler, which include fried pickles. When they are done well, I think fried pickles are amazing. These tasted like they came out of the freezer section at the grocery store. They were hardly worth eating and a big disappointment.According to the website, they offer smoking and non-smoking sections, but the whole place smelled like cigarettes. For me, that was mildly annoying, but for some, it is a big problem.After finishing, we waited several minutes for the waitress to come check on us so we could pay and get out. She had given us only the bare minimum amount of attention all night. When she asked about the checks, I told her how we wanted them split up and she left to take care of that. When she dropped them off, I realized that she had done it wrong. We should have had three separate checks, but we only had two. I tried to explain the error, politely, but she cut me off and offered an excuse as to why she messed up and left again, in a hurry. When she came back, it still wasn 't right. She got it right the third time and we paid.My bill came to $27.02, and I put $30 cash on the table with the receipt. She came to collect my cash and my kid 's debit cards. She never asked me if I needed change or offered to give it to me. I guess she just assumed that the change was hers to keep. I used to depend on tips to make a decent living, so I tip at least a little all of the time. However, it is a huge pet peeve of mine for a server to ask me if I need change. She didn 't even bother with that; she just kept my money.Another disappoint was the game room. The foosball table took our money but didn 't give us the ball, so we lost money there. As for the pool table, the mechanism that accepted the money was broken, so we couldn 't play pool either.Summary: The food was unremarkable. The service was poor. The whole place smelled like smoke. The game room was zero fun. There is a 0% chance I would ever go again or recommend to anyone."
