    Service kind of sucks very inexperienced staffed have to ask multiple times for everything also they will try to charge you double on drinks stating that it was a double shot I don't know anywhere where a shot is 25 dollars when asked to speak to manager waitress states that she doesn't speak English stay away from this place until they do better

    Ew the rice and beans taste like fabuloso ewwww !!! Leaving all this food behind bc it so nasty. I want a refund ! The food did not taste good ! For some reason the food really taste like cleaning products I asked for sour cream to make my tacos taste better Dollar for a side of sour cream I went ahead and told the manager who's a women with black curly hair (working Saturday night) and she had an attitude about it! First thing she said when she walked to the table was "what's the problem " I'm really sorry but she was flat out being a bitch !!! She took the plate and rolled her eyes and didn't come back and apologize. lack of customer service, common curtesy , and intelligence. I have no idea who possibly made her a manager but she needs training on simple customer service!!!!! Not only that she was dressed in jeans and bommer jacket. So when she walked up I honestly thought it was a random girl walking up to my table. First time there and my experience was trash.

    On this beaten path is Zona Caliente. This place is best described as your local and average sports bar with a Tejano flavor and appeal. In a recently renovated spot that used to be a bar this place has large open seating. The booth seating is really spacious for large groups. The bar area is big and lots of bar stools and table top seats. Flat screen televisions are plastered from wall to wall for games or what not. I can't specify the target audience for this place but I think it's for anyone who just wants to try something different. The menu is a mix of Tex-Mex and American foods. Their street tacos are just average. I will come back for their burgers. The bread seems to be a sweet bread but not sure. It's really good that I'll be back for it. Service is attentive at times, not to bad for a few days after their grand-opening. I was expecting things like this to happen for the first few weeks after opening.

    Showed up at 11:30am on a Saturday, and they only had one bartender and no wait staff - there was a…read morehuge party for a baptism of about 50 people.......the bartender did his best but was completely overwhelmed......the drinks he made us were great, the Cadillac nachos we ordered were awful!! The chicken tasted stale and you could tell they used leftovers on the nachos and simply stuck them in the microwave (there were portions of chili meat that was still cold).......and promoting yourself as a Sports Bar and NOT having TV's literally on over the bar - What? Is it Opposite Day? Would love to comeback and check out the live performances, but will NEVER order food here again.......Frankly, after reading others reviews and judging by our lone experience, seems as if they need a leadership overhaul - because a place like this should flourish and not have a 2.9 average review on Yelp

    Stopped for a quick bite and adult beverages on Saturday night. As we had been there several times,…read morewe knew what to expect. However, this night the food was marginal. We split the Patty Melt and it had zero flavor...it was bad. Patty Melt was dry, small amount of cheese, and it was lukewarm. Also, it had no grilled onions which the menu clearly states is on the patty melt. Bartenders were very nice and drinks were accurately made. Now to the music...we sat at the outdoor bar so thankfully we could not hear the band except when the opened the door. They were horrendous and loud during warmup. Whoever booked them should not be in the music industry.

    Came here on a weekend, on a game day - I was surprised it wasn't as busy! Really good place to be…read morefor sports, TVs everywhere for any game that's on. There's not a bad seat in the house, where you can't see what's going in so definitely a plus. Food was okay. They hit the mark on their appetizers! We all enjoyed the waffle cheese fries, mozzarella logs, & boudin balls. My friends had the lemon butter chicken, both said the flavor was good but that the chicken was a bit dry, they did enjoy the cheese corn grits. Pasta alfredeaux, my friend thought it could use more seasoning. I had the cajundilla, it's a heavy entree. There's a lot of flavors in there but they needed more than just onions to bring some freshness to it. I did enjoy the red beans & rice that they came with. Seemed like the sides were better than the main part of each entrée. Cleanliness 4/5, nothing is ever going to be perfect but the restroom needed more attention than what it had been given & our seats where kinda "eh" upon being seated. Staff & service, 5/5. Excellent! Shantiva was our waitress. She was attentive, polite, patient, & was knowledgeable about the menu. Great personality! Really any staff member we interacted with was super nice including the hostess & the servers that helped being our food out. Easy to pay by QR code, very convenient. Prices are fair, with lots to choose from on the menu. Overall a good experience!

We asked for the check, and was told there was a "corporate situation" where we had to leave a review to receive the bill. I couldn't believe it, so I repeated, "we have to leave a review just to get the bill???" The answer was yes. Our bill was being held hostage. We were stunned as our waiter told us we'd "get points for reviewing" (not restaurant points btw, these are Google points) and pressured us to scan the QR code and stood there watching to make sure we had put 5 stars on everything. When he saw I was hesitant to do so, he said just one of us could do the review to get the bill. This is unbelievable business practice and extremely uncomfortable. For this reason alone, I cannot recommend this establishment and will not be returning.
