La Hacienda Del Rio

How in holy Hell is this place still open? We lived in the area for years, and every few years we'd make the mistake of trying this place out to see if it improved. Short answer? Nope. I tried everything from tacos to burritos to enchiladas, and all I got was a fast trip to the bathroom and the old "ring of fire" if you know what I mean. It's sad when taco bell can run circles around a restaurant for quality.

We went there because the other places were full, huge mistake! The service was good, but the food and atmosphere was horrible, yuck!!! They seem to be more of a bar than a good mexican restaurant.

*no option for zero stars!  this place is an armpit.  do not take a lady or kids here.

I went here for lunch mid january 2013.  They used a cleaner in the bathroom that was so strong I could taste it.  I then went back to the bar to wait for my lunch and told the barmaid Robin about the situation in the bathroom.  Robin responded with a snooty attitude "well go piss outside, I don't clean bathrooms."  I replied "well excuse me, you work here so I'm telling you, maybe you can tell a manager.  I can still taste whatever cleaner was in there."  
Then I'm sitting there thinking, "Why should I pay for this lunch when I cannot enjoy it with this taste in my mouth and this 40+ year old hag is giving me attitude?"  I decided to walk out and told the hostess that I was leaving and why.  She just smiled, I mean a BIG smile.  How odd?  Then the barmaid was walking out with my food.  I told her to throw it away and being one to speak my mind I said things to her you should not say to a lady (which she is not).   Luckilly I did not spend a dime that day.
I've worked in restaurants for over a decade, and this attitude is unnaceptable.  In the future I'll go to La Caretta to get my mexi fix.  
**I could still taste the cleaner in my mouth two hours later after brushing my teeth and using mouthwash.**  

*41 reviews with 1.5 stars.  Hmm ya think ya doing something wrong people?  

*Barmaid Robin with teenibopper snooty attitude.  

*Barmaid Robin told me "go piss outside.  I don't clean bathrooms".

*Barmaid Robin with an "I don't care, it's not my job, I have no consequences for my actions"  attitude.

*Hostess showed no sympathy and did not care, but beyond this, she thought it was funny.

*Bathroom smelled like a toxic bomb went off.

*Salsa tasted like pasta sauce.  Chips were stale.
