  I would say that this place is nearly below average for a Mexican restaurant.  I went to dinner here with family one evening and I got the evening taco special.  They were overwhelmingly greasy and the salsa was bland.  
  
  The atmosphere here is just awkward and out-of-place, and there really isn't much Mexican decor.
  
  Also I must comment that our server managed to charge me double for the bill.  They fixed it after I caught the mistake, but had I not noticed it would have been free money for them.  I don't think I will ever be going back anytime soon.

  Nope. I went there with three friends after a movie and none of us had a good meal. I had tacos and there was something about the meat that tasted... Old or fake? And even the chips and salsa sucked.

  If you are looking for a "Hungry Man" frozen dinner quality dinner, look no further. If you are looking for a good Mexican dinner, look further!

  Mexican food is my fav.....this is far from it.  Everything I ordered was bland and the margaritas are too sweet with little,if any,tequila. Too bad.

  Came in here for dinner with some friends and family. We were seated and proceeded to wait for 50 minutes to put our drink order in. Another 30 minutes to get our drink at which point we asked for our bill. Not going to recommend this place with speedy service like that.

  Sorry but not impressed.  Margaritas were very sweet.  Salsa and chips were o.k.  Chicken nachos tasted like canned chicken - no taste.  Not in my top 10 for Mexican.  Needs help all the way around.

  My mom and I came here after a long day of geocaching.  We were most looking forward to cold drinks.  The Grasshopper delivered on that!  The service was very speedy and the drinks were as cold as advertised.  The food was ok.  The chips are a bit heavy and the salsa is more of a sauce.  The tacos, however, were excellent.  Overall, I think that I've been really spoiled by great Mexican food back home and tend to expect a little more.  After reading other reviews, I think that we will try Los Mariachis next time.

  Good cheap beers, fast service and the bean dip is pretty rock-on.
  
  My cousin (yeah, still not the douche canoe) and I ended our day together drinking on the patio here (is this the only patio in the FC?) and our server was bringing out new drinks almost the moment we finished one. She must be psychic. The food I sampled pales in comparison to the original in Adrian [did I ever tell you the story about going here when I was in college? No? Never mind.] But as the final leg of hanging out with my cuz this was as good as any.

  The Grasshopper is just okay for my tastes.  It earns a solid 3 stars from me for being good, but not great.  The food is fine, the service is fine, the prices are fine.  Nothing stands out as particularly good or bad.  The pureed salsas are a bit weird to my palate, and I'm not a huge fan of the chips, but otherwise it is a run-of-the-mill Mexican place.  It doesn't seem very authentic though, if that matters to you.  
  
  The Grasshopper's real downfall is that it isn't the best Mexican place in town.  Nothing about it distinguishes itself enough to make me want to come here instead of Los Mariachis just down the street.  If you give this place a try, you'll probably have a decent meal, but at the end of the day, personally, I'd rather go to Los Mariachis and get better, more authentic Mexican food.
