Ok...so my wife and I check out a movie at the MJR Theater and decided to check out Mexican Gardens for dinner after. We looked at the menu and got excited for the food they had listed. I ordered the Chimichanga dinner and my wife did the same. The waitress said ""ok, thanks! I'll be right back with your food!"". My wife and I didn't even get done chewing a SINGLE CHIP from the chips and salsa they bring out and here comes our food placed in front of us. We thought...okay...this can't be right. McDonalds isn't anywhere NEAR this fast for service. The food looked great, and the portions were big and would have easliy had left overs (hell, we could have even split a dinner) however, the chicken within our food was cold, the cheese wasn't even melted inside them (in fact, you could clearly see the cheese shreds that were still intact and not melted) and overall, the food didn't taste very good. We were very upset. Instead of complaining to the really young staff that works here, we decided it would be best to leave the food and not take it home. We paid and left...knowing we would never return. Just prior to leaving the waitress asked if we wanted boxes, we simply said ""no"" and she had a concerned look on her face as did we. Point is, she got the message. This, of course, was none of her fault...she was only the server. There was NO WAY IN HELL they prepared two adult meals let alone COOK THEM, within what seemed to be about 30 seconds of us ordering. Scary stuff. We will NOT be going back here. Sorry...but that's the truth. Looks like a few others have had a bad experience here too, and that is really unfortunate....because like I said...the food did indeed look very good...but when you get served cold food and gets to you faster than McDonalds would ever think of giving you food...that is cause for concern.
Granted, this was ONLY OUR EXPERIENCE. There are many people that have had a very good experience and really enjoyed their food. So don't use our experience as the ""end all see all"" in your decision. Nobody should. If you are interested in going, then go! Maybe we had a new cook...or well...didn't have a cook because like I said earlier...there was no way it was cooked within the time frame we order. Absolutely impossible. Someone mentioned they got there a half hour before they closed and didn't have a good experience. Everyones meal should be hot and fresh no matter what time it is. End of story. Thanks for reading.
Pros: We didn't stay long
Cons: Cold Food - Service was, dare I say...too fast.
