Cabo Wabo Cantina

Would have been rated lower but the staff was very attentive during a stressful situation.  So for that reason they receive an extra star. Food was fine, drinks were good.  The actual service was sub par.  The location is terrible.  Who wants to party in a mall? If it was a standalone spot with a nice patio, it would be a winner. Nowhere near as cool as the Cabo or Vegas locations.

Hardly ever in Hollywood on an Monday night, but was here to meet up for a drink with some friends that were passing thru town.  Despite the H&H Center usually being a swarm pot for tourist and visitors; this Cantina wasnt as busy.  Which for us, was the perfect setting.  Just enough for it not to be super dead but wasnt busy enough that there werent any seats.

Was able to get good seating at the bar. Bartender was attentative and constantly checked on us.  Pretty sure that was due to the fact that they werent extremely busy, but as I said, it was perfect for us being that we were just meeting up there for a drink or two and some Apps.  

The menu is not overpriced and has all your typical Mexican Cantina items.  Beer on tap selection I woud label as "limited" but they do offer a decent selection of specialty cocktails with full bar.

Would recommend this place if your in the area and need a quick stop for a drink or appetizer.

I was definitely not satisfied with this and even embarrassed that I took my out of town guests here. I don't often waste time on bad reviews but I think this place really deserved one.

First off the hostess wasn't kind or proud to work there, seemed like she was annoyed and smiling wasn't mandatory. Chips and Salsa were over salty, and the salsa was a clump like it had been pre scooped and refrigerated hard before serving. 2 of my guests were forgotten about their waters. The cocktails we ordered were substandard, I guess we should have stuck to the run of the mill margarita's.

My enchiladas were warm not hot, and the cheese hardened tough. I tried the fries and even those were overcooked. Even the food servers seemed like they were forced to work there with no restaurant server etiquette. Also the music was too loud and we couldn't converse. We told them to lower and they did, but turned back up again. Many of the guests were fanning themselves because it was too hot inside.

Bottom line I was disappointed in the overall experience and had to say something...
