Ojos Locos

Just trying to throw a little PSA out there for those ignorant like me--THIS IS THE TEX MEX VERSION OF HOOTERS.

BF and I were staying at the Baymont nearby. We needed a quick lunch and I was craving tacos so I whipped out my trusty Yelp phone app and this place came up as being very close to us, with a decent star rating. As we walked in (and I mistakenly only looked at the hostess, who was significantly more clothed than most of the servers) I doofily said, "oh, this is like the Tex Mex version of Buffalo Wild Wings!" to which the BF whispered in my ear, "nooo... it's Hooters!"

Seeing the bottom of our waitress' butt cheeks sticking out of her "shorts" kinda ruined it for me, but the food wasn't bad. The parmesan garlic chili wings were okay, but a bit too spicy for us even though they were only "medium" on the menu (but then, we are Yankees). My shrimp and pastor tacos were both really good, though.

Small pet peeve... they have uber chilled beer mugs which I hate because A) dead giveaway you don't serve good beer and (more importantly) B) I think it's gross when the head on your beer gets all frozen and chunky. But whatev. I was more concerned with being literally the only fully clothed female in the bar (until another couple came in, and then even a pregnant woman by herself... I was impressed).

Good concept executed poorly. The restaurant its self is very nice. Lots of flat screens everywhere and the booths have their personal tvs. Drinks are good. The beer towers are creative and look cool. The downfall is their food. Chips and queso was good. Tacos, chicken enchiladas, flautas and carne tampiquena, was all gross. Worse than a Tex-Mex restaurant!! I understand people come here to have drinks but the food shouldn't be this bad. And at $10.00 a plate I rather go the other way to Fuel City!  The service was very slow and the place wasn't busy, Sunday 10pm. Took about 40mins to get our food. If I ever go back it will be for the atmosphere and drinks. Definitely not the bland greasy food!

Cool place if you can speak and understand Spanish. The waitress's are scantly clad which wasn't much of a surprise for what is mostly a Mexican joint.  This Gringo had fun and would consider going back with the right people.  Not for the super gringo though.
