Chili&#x27;s

A few days ago, we made our second visit to Rositas, part of our family lives in Iowa, so it mutual…read moresite. Our first visit was excellent, our server was a young lady who could not have been more accommodating. The food was enjoyed by all, even memorable according to our niece. This last visit was virtually 180 degrees of inattentive service, almost to the point being rude. My chicken enchiladas had no sauce but was topped with CHEDDAR CHEESE. I enjoy some Mexican heritage and never was offered cheddar cheese. My niece related that there is a sign Please wait to be seated. My brother in law, is 89. When he saw the unoccupied table, where we sat the last time, he went to it. Evidently, our surly waitress took exception to this. This happened on Tuesday at noon, there were a few table occupied. So what's the issue? We will try Rositas again but it will probably the last time. There are a lot of food venues in this college town. We dont need to drive hours for bad food and equally bad service.

Had the coleslaw and mac & cheese...and that was not bad at all!Had a little bit more mayo than expected with a tad of vinegar, which was OK. Overall, it was a very good lunch/dinner. (by the way, I liked the Kansas City better than the Texas but Texas sauce was also very good! They make their own homemade sauce by the way ) Nick was a great conversational piece and they are going to be starting with a food truck pretty soon which is gonna be pretty neat. He does take a lot of pride in his work, and it shows! So I guess keep an eye open for that. Nice job, Nick. I'll give you the next star an update this review once I have your ribs. Is that a Deal? (because I'm a big-time rib guy.) Thanks again Nick!

I predict this place will not stay in business long unless they start getting orders right and have key items on the menu in stock. My suggestion is to have people take the orders, not the kiosks. And keep items stocked well.

The vegetables were fresh and delicious. The Gyro meat was cooked very nicely and tasted delicious. I would definitely eat this again. There were some really nice crunchy and crispy pieces... Not fatty or gristly at all. I love that they included feta cheese, I love eating that with the pita. This has to be the best gyros I have had in a long time. My husband ordered big farm breakfast.

I went into this place yesterday and I was greeted by a woman I am not sure on her name. She was not very friendly to me at all! I don't want to be this way,but i honestly believe it's because I am a minority because my friends came in before me that were all white and they did not have this problem with her! I felt like she did not want to be bothered by customers and she was giving me very poor eye contact. This is not a fun place for my family and I to go! I felt terrible terrible terrible!

For being a…read morelittle off-the-water cafe, they provide much better service than I expected--and since we were here on a holiday, they were pretty busy! My group tried a good selection from the menu: chicken tenders, burgers, wings, and a wrap. The food was simple but delicious--I had the wrap, which was basically one of their salads with grilled chicken added, stuffed into a burrito tortilla. It tasted fresh, was wrapped well (I hate when a wrap falls apart), and despite having a good amount of vinaigrette, it didn't leak or go soggy. I kind of regret not getting a second one to-go! From the others' feedback, the rest of the food was just as good--great quality, tasty, and thoughtfully assembled. Pretty much everyone got fries, and enjoyed them. They're crisp, flavorful, and fluffy inside. The prices are reasonable, too. My food and a soda came to like $15, and most of the meals are about the same price, between $10-15 depending on add-ons and upsells. They also have a great ice cream selection--I wish I'd had the appetite to try the strawberry pretzel flavor!--and have milkshakes, beer, boozy seltzers, etc. All great options on hot summer days. Overall, I'd say it's worth a stop if you're in the area!

We have been regulars since they opened a couple of seasons or so ago and the atmosphere was always friendly and courteous. This season we were greeted with Mother's Day Brunch menu at 5 pm so breakfast items and a selection of one burger with fries were the only options. The waitress was rude and slow. Our plates were never cleared, and she never stopped to ask if we wanted additional beverages or dessert. We chose to eat outside because the weather was nice but discovered they had locked the door to prevent customers from coming back in the most convenient door and requiring them to walk around to another door. When my husband asked why, the waitress said to reduce customer traffic. We overheard the waitress chastising customers who came in about a half hour later that the restaurant was only open one more hour and that so they would have to eat fast. There was only maybe 4 sets of customers including us, so the place was not busy. My husband works in another local restaurant. This type of service in unacceptable.

Los Rancheros is a place that has a pretty big menu of classics and specials. A lot of the typical items. The prices are kind of high but you get a lot on a plate.

Kind of pricy for some items. Seems the portions are big though. It's about $12 for a margarita. There's also bigger ones that cost even more but these are humongous ass ones. Food is not that bad. It's about $16 for the Veggie Taco Salad. This has broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, onions, peppers, squash, tomatoes, and zucchini. Also there's the cheese sauce and sour cream which I left off. This is also topped with guacamole, lettuce, and tomatoes. Big enough we could share it. There's a crap ton of things on the menu so you can get burritos or even seafood like scallops. Good place for getting some Americanized Mexican food. It's located in DeKalb Market Square close to Wal-Mart and other chain stores. This is maybe the most authentic one around so whatever.
