We have been traveling some the last few weeks and had not been to Posado's in about a month. So at dinner time we both indicated Posado's was the choice at the same time. Like minds work real good together. So we did the twist to Posado's. It has always amazed me about the service in this place. Up until now, the manager, greeters and kitchen staff were pretty much the same people, but there was a different set of waiters/waitresses every time we went. The service here has always been excellent even with constant turnover. However, tonight everyone was different. New managers, new greeters, new kitchen staff (except one we recognized and he tried to bring us two meals that were not ours, so maybe they kept the wrong one), and of course new waiters/waitresses. The amazing days are over.
When we arrived there was a good number of people waiting on tables, however, when we walked in they took us to a table immediately. If it wasn't for the change, I would say they recognized Mitcho. Didn't seem fair but we were there to eat not referee. Not too long after, chips and salsa came. Now this is a plus. However, we waited on a waitress for far too long. We had eaten most of the first bowl of chips and was needing some cold ice tea (it is July you know). You know I had Chipper with me, so it really didn't take that long to eat the first bowl of chips. Finally, the waitress came and took our drink order. We were sitting basically next to the kitchen, so this was not a far trip to get us tea, but it took more minutes than it should have. After a good while she came with our tea with the ice already almost completely melted. I was wanting cold ice tea please! She takes our order. Now the wait really starts. I would assume we had waited 10 to 15 minutes since she took our order and no food (of course the one guy we recognized, during this time did try to give us other peoples food). I will give the waitress credit, after a long while she could tell I was getting testy, chips are only so good so long. Actually we were discussing eating chips and tortillas and heading out and see what they think. So the waitress finally went to the kitchen and retrieved our order and brought it to us. At least she was trying some. After that the service improved some and was not that noticeable the rest of the meal. That is till the check came. The waitress had taken the opportunity to enter a tip before she brought us the ticket. Nine cents!!!!! So what is she telling me here. Of course the service was not this terrible and I could not let that go. So of course I adjusted the tip to a more appropriate number. There has been the time that service in other restaurants was so terrible that the nine cent tip was eight cents too much.
So the service overall gets a 6.
The chips are a pretty good chip, pretty much similar to most mexican food restaurants. Givin the chips a 7.
The salsa has improved in the last year and is now a 7, also.
We ordered chicken fajitas, with charro beans and rice. When the fajitas came the chicken was very tasty and the condiments added to the flavor perfectly. Enjoyed me some fajitas. Givin the fajitas an 8.5.
The charro beans here are my favorite of all refried/charro beans. Loving me some charros. Given em a 7.5.
Rice is rice.
Of course the meal was ended with a sopapilla with syrup and butter. Yum Yum The sopapilla gets an 8 here (she brought me a pretty big one, Mitcho pays attention to these kind of things.
Overall, they get a 7.333 which is pretty good, but this has been a 9+ restaurant.
