Tequila’s Mexican Cantina

I went today with my husband and the guy that was supposed to take care of us only had 3 tables counting the one we were at. Don’t know what his names is but he’s the young man light skinned not too short not too tall. We got there at 8 o’clock and he avoided eye contact with us for the whole 40 minutes we waited there. He just went to the other 2 tables and left like if no one else was there. We decided to leave because they close at 9 and the kitchen was probably closed already.

I feel compelled to write a review because what occurred during my visit was absolutely appalling and warrants further discussion. I specifically ordered a virgin margarita and pointed to the spot on the menu. I also asked if the virgins come in the same flavor as regular. After we received the bill my friend looked at me worried because my drink was the same price as hers. I'm not a confrontational person and never complain, but wanted to ask what happened. The waiter said he didn't hear me ask for a virgin so he served me a regular margarita. I understand mistakes happen, so I asked if I can get it removed from the bill. He brought over the manager and after I made my case he said "well you drank it didn't you?" Again, I don't have the most assertive personality and looked at my friend in shock. She told him how they put my health at risk and how it is unacceptable for them to avoid responsibility. I guess because I wasn't a rude and intimidating customer he felt no remorse and ended up charging me the price of virgin. I'm sure any reasonable person could see how this was a bigger issue than I made it out to be. The list goes on as to how detrimental this mistake could have been. I am disturbed at their lack of care and not an ounce of apology. I have had food comped at restaurants without even complaining, and surely assumed something as serious as this would have been taken in a professional manner. For anyone who is avoiding alcohol for any reason please be careful.

I've been back from Los Angeles for a year and have only found one other Mexican restaurant that I liked as much as this one. Really incredible service, the food was top notch, they actually had Al Pastor on the menu which is a rarity for these parts! I really loved this charming little restaurant. Definitely will go back.
