"I was sooo disappointed in this restaurant. My wife and I were looking for a new place to try for a late Sunday lunch. We saw their ad and thought that it looked good. I was dying for some great southwestern food. Unfortunately it was the worst that we had ever had. We started with the fresh tortilla chip with four dips $9). The two salsas were bland and tasteless. They did not have a fresh taste. The Guac was made with cheap watery and pale avocados. It was totally lacking in any flavor. The queso dip was a pale cheap canned cheese sauce with some color thrown in. Again, no flavor, no spice. The chips were nice and crisp but for $9 the whole thing made Tostitos look pretty good. Ok, Ok… on to the signature dish we decided to share a $23 fajita. The waiter described it as the best thing on the menu. “Chicken breast, jumbo shrimp and steak marinated in southwestern seasonings. Served with mixed peppers and onions on a sizzling skillet”, Yum! Unfortunately, it was as terribly disappointing as the app. The waiter brought the dish to the table in a luke warm not sizzling) skillet. As we were seated outside and downwind I could smell the strong odor of old shrimp from ten feet away. Not spoiled but certainly heading that way. The shrimp I could not try but my brave wife who loves seafood stated that it was tasteless. The chicken was tender and juicy but also flavorless. The steak, instead of being thinly sliced was cut into ¾” wide strips and was like trying to chew rubber. I literally could not bite a piece off the fajita and had to pull it out. It had little flavor. The tortillas had been “over microwaved” and were tough and dry around the edges. The fajitas came with a cute rectangle dish with tiny, tiny square ramekins of pico, sour cream, guac and lettuce. About 1 ½ tablespoon of each. Well that was enough for one maybe two fajitas but the dish came with four tortillas. The server never stopped by to see if we wanted any more. All in all, the server had a great personality. We he did show up when we had finished eating and asked how things were. I expressed my displeasure, politely). He apologized and said that he would discount the food. I refused stating that was not my intent. He placed the check down and returned after a very long time. He asked if the manager had stopped by. I replied, “no.” He then stated that I could see why the restaurant had problems. I had already figured that out. The entire time that we were in the restaurant the manager was laughing and chatting with a waitress and hostess at the front door. Maybe that’s why most of the many other restaurants in the complex at the time were 40-50% full this place had only one other table. Sad, they supposedly have many awards at the home store in Boston and the fact that a lot of money was spent on the comfortable and inviting décor. Only open four months, in this current environment they won’t make it another four, sad, sad ,sad"
