Worst dining experience EVER

by reese797

I have never been treated worse at any eating establishment in my life, including McDonalds. We had a party of 14 under my name and checked in with the host twice before our actual reservation to let him know we were in the bar. He was clearly strung out and didn't seem to have any clue what he was doing. When we saw a large party get seated, we checked on our table and he stated "There are two parties of Marisa for 14?" with a dumbfounded look on his face. The host attempted to then seat us at two small tables and 8 chairs for 14 people, then another that only sat 10. When numerous attempts to speak to a manager (or anyone in charge that would help us) failed, we took an empty table nearby. The manager proceeded to YELL in my face that we were hustling them (because we asked for some free sangria to make up for everything), then said we could either keep the table we took or one pitcher of sangria (for 14 people). At that point, we didn't want to give them our money so we left and went to a Taqueria down the street. Never once did I raise my voice, yet I was attacked by the manager. Between the strung out host and the rudely inappropriate manager, I will never eat at this establishment ever again and urge prospective diners to STAY AWAY!

Wanna get pushed out during good convo and drinks with your friends? Then go here....

by tatooedlover

DONT GO HERE. I will NEVER go here again with my friends or family. We were pushed out!!!

We were happily enjoying our drinks until we noticed one of workers passing by an awful lot. Eyeballing all our drinks to see if we were almost done. He was so obvious about it we couldnt believe it. Our waitress didnt come by to ask if we wanted anything else i guess that was a good thing considering she was rude and dry as can be. Before we could finish one of our pitchers he helped himself to pouring our glasses into the pitcher. I would think think a bill of $100+ deserved better service. Plenty of other Mission jewels.

• Pros: none
• Cons: the service, rude waitresses

The Sangria sneaks up on you!

by foodluvr17

My friend and I went on a limb to try it out on a friday night (I've heard some say its almost impossible to get a table in an hour or even longer) We went in and the hostess told us tables were reserved for parties of 3 or more and to try our luck to find spots at the bar. The bar is HUGE! and we went around the bar looking for open spots. Almost coming around full circle, we got lucky enough to grab seats. As soon as we sat down, the bartender gave us menus and got us a pitcher of sangria (which was pretty tasty with the fresh fruits marinated in it) We ordered ceviche (very flavorful, esp. with lime), calamari (my favorite! the breading was seasoned and the butter-like dipping sauce is really rich! something to watch out for if ur on a diet, but definitely a must try) and the pork quesadillas (they were very tender and one is enough for two!) For a busy friday night, the the bartender and busboys were pretty attentive. The only downside was that the bartender thought we ordered 2 quesadillas instead of 1, so we had to pay for the extra and take it home, it was good though, so we didn't mind.

• Pros: Calamari! Sneaky sangria
• Cons: Busy, busy, busy!
