    The experience for the first time wasn’t exactly what I expected. We pre booked with a large party and only one server & felt like one cook the way the food came out. There was other people there but didn’t help the server.

    Poor food quantity, service was extremely slow. Food came out cold. We ordered cocktails which took forever. Small portions and over priced.

    We were at CalMex to celebrate a birthday. We were provided chips/salsa pretty quick after being seated. We placed a drink order which took some time to arrive. Keep in mind the place was not busy. Once we received the drinks we placed our meal order. During the time waiting for food order, we never saw our waiter as we wanted to place an order for more drinks. Eventually the food came out. We placed another drink order. Birthday girl found a hair in her food. They did replace the meal quickly and took the price of meal off the bill. I don’t think we’ll be returning very soon.
