After waiting over 20 minutes without any update, I asked around 9:34 a.m. how much longer my order would take. Instead of simply apologizing or providing an update, the employee checked my payment time and told me that the wait was "right on target" for a good breakfast. When I politely expressed that the wait seemed excessive for what I had ordered, she reiterated that this was normal and that good food takes time to prepare. I didn't feel those comments were necessary--they made me feel dismissed rather than understood. She also stated there had been a long line ahead of us, which wasn't accurate. When I arrived at 9:13, there was only one customer finishing her order at the register. I finally received my food at approximately 9:38 a.m. While I understand that fresh food takes time, a 25-minute wait for two breakfast sandwiches and two iced coffees, especially with no proactive communication, felt excessive. A simple acknowledgment of the delay or a more empathetic response would have made a significant difference. Instead, I left feeling that my concerns were brushed aside. Between the lengthy wait, the dismissive interaction, and the overall experience, I didn't feel the service justified the price or the 20% tip that was included in my purchase. Unfortunately, I won't be returning.

Drip lacks good Mexican food and desperately needs a restaurant. Raza's is close enough to a brick and mortar and better than expected. They took that extra mile to make the presentation a lasting impression even with takeout. The guys were courteous when taking my order. When Raza first started, I recall a bigger menu that could be overwhelming but now they've cut a lot of dishes out to make it simpler and all you need to really decide on is which meat you want. Don't worry because they have flavor in everything. Think of something as flavorful as birria but in every meat. We ordered almost one of everything. The only thing I wish was different was more for the price you get in fried burritos. They're small and won't fill a man nor a man child up. Get a regular burrito if you like to be stuffed. Their salsas? Absolutely take advantage of them. They not only have a kick but they have flavor. There's a small taco shack in town people love but they're not great and seem to ride on the spice of their salsas. No flavor though. Raza has both and the food knocks you out. Grab a drink next door, sit and eat until you're full. The addition I'd put in the bag is a small bag of fresh chips and salsa. That'll really bring in more people because who doesn't love free fresh chips and homemade salsa while you wait or when you start your meal. Skip El Rey and their sewage smelling restaurant and go here.

However, at the host stand we stood unacknowledged for awhile, despite two employees within view and earshot until someone bustled up from the dining room and asked how many. I told her "two" and she walked us to a 2-top where we'd be seated across from each other and dropped 2 menus onto the table and kept walking. I looked around for a 4-top since my daughter has special needs and I need to help her eat. I didn't see any in that dining area, so I looked around for the woman who I didn't see either. A waiter walked up to The table next to us and looked at me looking lost, and I said, "we need some help." He kind of stared at me for a second then turned around to his table. So I picked up the menus and silverware and walked into the next dining room where some folks were sitting and there were tables. One employee looked confused at what I was doing there and I explained my issue, at which point she told me that that area was closed and we couldn't sit there and there was nothing available. So the woman who disappeared re-appeared, reiterated that we couldn't sit there, and so I told her I guessed we could sit outside, even though it was 95 degrees. She brought out chips and salsa and then we just sat there. And sat there. And sat there. No one came to ask for drinks and at this point I was fuming. I left my daughter at the table and went inside to find someone and I swear there were 5 people standing there, including the waiter who turned away from me, just looking at me. No one asked what I needed or if they could help me. (I had decided to leave before I did this, but my daughter wanted to stay.) Finally a guy who clearly just arrived there asked what I needed and I told him we'd been sitting outside for a long time without any service, and at exactly that time someone finally walked up to our table. I told the new guy at the host stand that our experience was really sucking. The waiter who came was friendly but scarce, and we got the spoon I asked for so my daughter could manage her own rice once we had finished the meal. We then waited a very long time for our check and I had to explain to my daughter over and over that we couldn't leave til we paid the bill. When I did, I had the options of selecting a 20, 25 or 28 percent tip, which I found ludicrous given the absolute epic lack of service. I think it may be the worst I've ever had. Not sure about training and culture there, but it was an amazing example from start to finish of an entire staff who had perfected mediocrity and ambivalence.
