Mi Casa Mexican Restaurant

Normally we would have given a 4 star rating (5 should be for a place that is very special and rare), however I had to counter the other 2 reviews which must have been written before a change of ownership, management, or personnel, or something. My wife and I ate on a slow Saturday evening, and we were served very politely and promptly all along, prompt drink refills, etc. The menu is like every americanized Mexican restaraunt (98% of Mexican restaurants in the US not counting taquerias). Prices are reasonable. Food tasted great, not too greasy, etc. The best deal was the make your own combo: 2 items for 6.99, 3 for 7.99, includes beans and rice. Got beef tacos (great), beef chimichanga (great beef and tons of good cheese), relleno (great), and tamale (good). Not super authentic (very mild, especially the salsa--ask for the hotter one and put that all over your food), but tasty, clean, great service, good prices.

I was very unsatisfied with this place.  A group of 4 of us showed up around 1:30pm on a very slow Monday.  When we arrived, there was only one other table with people and a group that was at the front counter talking to what I believe was supposed to be our server.  We waited 5 minutes before anyone brought our chips and salsa and took our drink order.  15 minutes later, we still hadn't received our drinks.  We chose to try and stay since we were all really craving Mexican food after mountain biking in the area for most of the morning.  As we continued to wait, our server was still at the front counter talking to his friends who were about to leave.  Finally, we had enough and left started walking out.  This got the attention of our server and he asked if we had got our drinks.  We replied that we were leaving and he seemed as though it didn't faze him.  I will probably never go back here again as the menu didn't have much on it (even for a mexican restaurant) and the service was horrible!

I wish I could write a better review for this place. Unfortunately, after receiving one of their ginormous margaritas (it must have been close to 32 ounces!), I was too obliterated to remember much about the food.  What I do remember was "it didn't suck". I've had better, but Monteagle, Tennessee, did an admirable job of pulling together its entire Latino community (all 5 of them) to pass off a decent representation of Mexican food.
