Tumbleweed TexMex Grill & Margarita Bar

On a cross country road trip, we stopped in Terra Haute for dinner. Wanting to experience some "local flair", I liked the sound of Tumbleweed, so we went and gave it a try. Well....I think I enjoy the actual tumbleweeds on I-40 than most of this restaurant. I tried their habanero margarita because I wanted something spicy and different. It was about as spicy as a baked potato. Bad comparison, but you get the point. Although on the plus side, they have a  great margarita selection. The salmon wasn't half bad, but the chips and salsa were. Maybe I'm a snob since I've lived in California, and experienced better Tex Mex, but if you're in the Midwest craving it, On the Border may be your better bet.

Wish I could say great things nut it was pretty mediocre. Best thing about meal was 99 cent margaritas on mondays. Queso tasted like velveeta, rice bland, quesedilla bland. Chips ok. Ok oic you don't have high expectations.

I hate when a restaurant  just doesn't live up to what it should be.  In my opinion, Tumbleweed is an example.  After this last trip, I am taking it off my list.

I like the atmosphere.  The staff is almost always friendly and attentive, but I just don't feel like the food is worth the price.  During our last trip it was painfully obvious that my fries had been reheated.  I really have gotten better fries out of my microwave.  My wife's re-fried beans were crusty on one side where they had been reheated or dried out under a heat lamp.  To add insult to injury, the chips were stale.  This food should NOT have been served.

They make good margaritas, but I don't plan on being back for anything else.  This is the third straight  disappointing stop.  I almost never write complaint emails to companies, but this is the second one they will get in as many trips.

Disappointing.
