Great Place to Eat

Ninfa's SUCKS!
DESCRIPTION: My friend and I had a nightmare-ish experience at Ninfa's this past Monday night (6/27/05). To try and make an EXTREMELY long story short, an apparent friend of our server intentionally poured an entire pitcher of ice cold water on the friend I was dining with, because our server thought that we were there to sabotage his night. HELLO - I'm almost 25 years old, and I promise I can think of much better things to do with my life. Unfortunately, it gets much worse! When Beth quietly accused him of drenching her on purpose, he stood up to the entire restaurant and started hollering and cussing, and I quote, "How dare you accuse me of something I didn't f***ing do, you f***ing, B*$%@." I followed him to the server station to try and quietly talk to him about what was going on, and he began screaming and cussing to the entire restaurant all over again about how crazy we were. Then, as much as I would love to take this back now, I poured the rest of my strawberry margaritta down his back as we walked out. He then proceeded to call me out, still hollering and cussing, and was trying to fight me in the middle of the section, telling me to "come back and handle my business." Seconds later, he picked up a drink from his CUSTOMER'S table and threw it at me 5 tables over, as I was walking away. Although I wish that was the end of the night, my friend and I then had to re-live the horror by repeating the story to the manager on duty. While doing so, two older men (approx. 40) walked over to us from the bar and hollered, "Quit your f***ing whining, you f***ing B*&%@#!" The nonsense from the two bar junkies continued the entire time my friend was telling the manager what had happened! As the victims of the most horrible experience of my life, all we got in return was a simple "I'm sorry." And supposedly the server was fired the next day. Although, and I quote, "It was very hard for me to fire such a good employee and a great friend," stated the General Manager of Ninfa's. So needless to say, my family, my friends, nor myself will EVER support Ninfa's restaurant again due to the complete humiliation I felt as I left that place. I will always associate with the worst night of my life!

Great Mexican food in the East Valley
DESCRIPTION: Although the food is not "5 star" quality, the food here is the best Mexican we've found in the east valley. The atmosphere is casual and the food is usually delivered quickly and always hot. Some of the wait staff are young and are not able to serve alcohol so the wait time for a drink is dependent on the cocktail waitresses from the bar. This has been our only issue with service here.

Best Mexican food in Arizona!!
DESCRIPTION: I live maybe 2 miles from Cafe Posada, but I dont care if I lived 20 miles away, it is worth the drive to come eat at the BEST mexican restaurant Arizona has!! there are many Mexican restaurants here, but nothing compares to this place! It tastes just like the homemade mexican food my mom used to make when I was growing up! I come for lunch or dinner atleast twice a week, sometimes more. My friend is hooked on the place too and visits just as much as me!! PLEASE DONT ASK ME WHAT MY FAVORITE IS... I truley cant decide.. the taco salad is awesome (especially with italian dressing) the burritos are heaven, the enchiladas are out of this world! I just tried the fajita salad and that is amazing too! I promise no matter what you get, you will be impressed, and only one time have I had a complaint about the food.. they went out of their way to make things better! I am definatley a huge fan of Cafe Posada! they really know Mexican food! Thank You! Shannon

Amazing menu - vegetarian and more!
DESCRIPTION: Ever feel like you want to order about 10 different things off the menu? Ramblin' Jack's has daily specials that complicate it even further! The food is VERY fresh - and there is a large vegetarian selection (not for me, but it's very tasty anyway!). The service is terrific - they are very accommodating to special requests. The chefs are the stars here - very creative dishes are the norm. Apple pizza, black bean tiger prawn ravioli, cowboy mashed potatoes. Hearty servings of all the food - don't fill up on the appetizers - the main courses are well worth it. All plates very customizable with delicious sides. My dad thinks their key lime pie is the best he's ever had (they soak the crust in real lime juice). Good drinks - helpful waitstaff. Terrific location in a renovated historic building downtown. Great for people watching or enjoying the artwork. This is one of my favorite places to go!

Great Mexican
DESCRIPTION: This place has the best fajitas that I've had at any Mexican restaurant, but anything else I've tried hasn't been the best. Go for the fajitas!

DESCRIPTION: They have great chips and Salsa, however when they give you chips, they tease you. The chips are all nice on the top, and once you get past the top layer it's all crumbs. All the other food is great. Bad that they charge for sour cream though. Only real bad thing is the service.

DESCRIPTION: Portions are huge. Service is always good. Recommend the Mexican Pizza, and the Chili Releno! Love the queso and the different salsas (a few times the chips were either stale or overcooked. But the waitstaff always remedies with a smile.) Also on my birthday, the waiter was nice enough to surprise me at the end with a free Fried Ice Cream- this is a favorite as well. (I was already stuffed but didnt want to be rude so i forced down a few bites)

Indifferent staff and mediocre food made for a poor experience
DESCRIPTION: I really hate to give any restaurant a bad review, but after the experience my wife and I had at the Lazy Lizard Cantina, I can't do anything but give it failing marks. What we encountered left me feeling that the staff at this establishment has a lot to learn about customer service and food preparation. I should have known we were in for an experience that would be unpleasantly memorable when our appetizer, "Texas Cheese Toast", arrived burnt. Carbon black burnt bread, with the dish's cheese sauce and peppers poured over it. The replacement serving arrived with the exact opposite problem. It was plain bread (or "raw toast" as we jokingly described it to each other) with cheese melted on it. Really, how hard is it to make toast? This time, we asked to speak to the manager. After he asked if we wanted them to try again (which we politely declined), he said he'd take it off the bill, turned on his heel and disappeared, not to be seen or heard from again- there was no follow-up at all. We were fortunate that we were sitting next to one of the waitstaff's supply stations- the waiter didn't provide tableware when we were seated or when the appetizer arrived. Aside from when he came by to take our order, he did not stop by our table to see whether we wanted to order anything else, or how we were doing. Once we placed our order, if we saw him again, it was because we initiated contact. My wife and I each ordered an enchilada combo. Mine ("Siete") consisted of three enchiladas: one crawdad, one chicken, and one cheese and onion, surrounded by the typical refried beans and Spanish rice. The one positive thing that I can say about the food was that the chicken enchilada didn't suffer from being over-salted, a problem I've noted at other places. The cheese and onion enchilada was essentially half-missing: there was cheese, but no trace of onion or onion flavor. The crawdad enchilada wasn't unpleasant, but wasn't very interesting. Its filling tasted most like a fairly non-descript thickened tomato soup, with 12-15 very tiny pieces of meat that reminded me of undersized salad shrimp, mixed in. My wife's vegetable enchilada combo ("Ocho") was fairly bland, saved only by adding the leftover salsa from the chips and salsa we received when we were seated. A word of caution to anyone who might mistake this dish for actually being vegetarisn- its one interesting flavor was the taste of bacon in the refried beans. As for the atmosphere, it is basically what it tries to be: a garden variety restaurant and bar. I thought that the noise level was excessive, despite the restaurant only being about three quarters full. I don't expect to be waited on hand and foot, with rose petals scattered in my path when I visit an inexpensive Mexican joint, but as part of going to a restaurant, I do expect at least a basic level of customer service and at least some degree of competence from the kitchen. This was missing from our experience. There are so many restaurants in the Grand River Ave/Novi Road/I-96 area (a couple of which are also Tex-Mex) that I can't think of any good reason to return to this one.
