Another great meal at Boxcar, again with the Santa Fe Foodies. All nine of us enjoyed the meals. We…read morewent for Taco Tuesday; you can get $2 beef tacos, which many members did and said were very good. However, I decided to go with an appetizer I've never tried, the Bang Bang Shrimp, which was dynamite! You get four very large, crispy shrimp in a sweet-and-spicy sauce, though I didn't find it spicy, if that's a concern for some. The sauce was very tasty; the shrimp had great flavor, were plump and tender, and they were indeed crispy. This went very well with the arugula under the shrimp. I'd order this again in a second. I then had two tacos à la carte: Baja Fish beer-battered cod and Carnitas. Both were very large and excellent. The pork on the Carnitas was indeed crispy as it should be, and the cod was perfectly fried and delicious. My wife had the Asian Tuna Noodle Crunch Bowl: seared tuna, lo mein noodles. The dressing was superb; the Tuna was perfectly seared raw, and all the items that came with the salad (mango, red cabbage, daikon radish sprouts, kale crunch, edamame, cilantro, peanuts, toasted sesame) made for a lovely and delicious meal. Our server, Tony, did a fantastic job of keeping us all happy. My only 'complaint' was that Boxcar doesn't serve their amazing Brussels sprouts, or at least not all the time. Not on the menu. I told Tony and the manager how much I love them and was told it may come back as a special from time to time. Man, the Boxcar Brussels sprouts are amazing! Boxcar has very, very good food, and I would usually avoid what appears to be a 'sports bar,' but James Beard Foundation-recognized Chef Eric Stumpf will please the foodies every time. What is nice is that Boxcar has several seating areas, so if you're into food and not the 'bar scene,' they can seat you in an area that is quiet.

Also the bacon was sticking out. Have to pay for ranch dressing, was told after the food was served. Waited for the dressing to come and the Orion rings got cold. Wasn't that busy but still took a while for the food to arrive. Out of tacos for Taco Tuesday by 10 pm, but they still offer the tacos at the regular price. After I asked for the check, the waiter offered drinks from the happy hour menu, dessert and asked me if I wanted to place an order of vegetable "something healthy" for the next day? First time that I been offer that. Would not go back again.

No silverware or glass of water or mention of who my waiter is. Waited 16 minutes for anyone to approach my table. I then ordered a drink and dinner. The drink came pretty timely but no napkin or coaster to put under glass. I mention this because I saw everyone else was served a drink like that. I then received my food BUT... still no silverware. I finished eating and the bus boy came by quickly to take away plate. No mention to me if I wanted to take it to go.... just took it away. I was then brought the check. Didn't ask if I wanted dessert which I did. I then mentioned it and the waitress crumpled the bill. Then brought dessert. The interaction with the employees made me feel uncomfortable and unwanted in the establishment. The food was decent. Not the best but better than average food. The ambience of the place was good. Many large TVs to watch sports.

Enjoyed a few slot machines that allowed me to keep my money . There is a snack bar (Quick Bites), Stadium66 sports bar and 2 lounges (Pub & Main Street). Ate at Stadium66 and had 2-meat cheeseburger with fries. The fries seem to be shoe string size and warm. Informed my server (Jaron/ Jaren) and he corrected right away. He displayed great customer service and was friendly. Ordered a house margarita and blackberry slush (alcohol included) and they were delicious. I will go back!

We opted for shareables, because, we were sharing! An order of sliders and nachos seemed to fit the bill. The sliders and the fries were alright, nothing special to write home about. The nachos fell short. There was barely any cheese on them. The little of cheese that was found was already cold and hard by the time we got them and started digging in. We ordered a side of queso to compensate for it. Our service was at par with our food experience. Pretty mediocre. She was hard to find when we needed here, disappearing a lot. I imagine we would be interested in giving them another try if we found ourselves in the area again, perhaps we'd have a better visit.

We're kind of snobby about our beer and every. single. beer is solid. I might not like reds that much but this is one that I'd actually drink. The Hefe is solid and delicious without the weird aftertaste and off flavors that 95% of them have. Just a clean, refreshing hefe. The DIPA is delicious and one of my faves. I still stand by that the IPAs here will stand up to any others we have around town and we have some good oens. We stopped in to watch football for a bit and the screens were plentiful, there was lots to do including darts, shuffleboard, and nearly every single game on at once. They've done a lot to the place and I really hope it sticks around - we need a place like this! Beers are super reasonably priced and they have a daily happy hour (including an all day happy hour on Monday!). This is a chill, cool place with lots of seating, lots of parking and ample food options around.

Prices are usually reasonable but I was disappointed to be charged $8.00 for a Dos Equis draft beer. My complaint was with the service. The jerk bartender with the goofy haircut had a hateful attitude. He asked me for my order as if I were an inconvenience. I didn't noticed but they were out of Guinness. When I ordered it, he snapped back at me, "We're out of Guinness.", again with a hateful attitude. In an effort to lighten the mood, I replied, "Oh, that's why you have a plastic cup over the beer tap handle." He slowly nodded his head as if to say, no shit Sherlock. At that point, I almost got up and left due his crappy attitude and clueless customer service skills. How this guy ever got a job here as a bartender is beyond me. A few minutes later, he literally tossed a drink menu in front of me. I was stunned. Reluctantly, I ordered a Dos Equis. He nodded his head, brought me Mr beer and walked away without saying a word. Crappy attitude and horrendous customer service! Ten minutes later, he tosses a food menu in front of me. I never asked for one and he came across as if to say, order some food! Screw that! $20.00 for nachos? I don't think so. Get a clue Sandia. I drank most of my beer, asked for my bill, didn't leave a tip (duh!), and walked out. I doubt I'll ever go back unless Sandia fires that scumbag bartender. He's terrible!
