Gross would be an understatement! From start to finish my experience at this place (I wouldn't dare call it a restaurant) could only be described as appalling. To start neither one of the bathrooms had soap in them which was a big deal not only because of the pandemic but because it raises the question of how where the employees able to clean their hands appropriately. The food was ill-prepared. The chicken on the taco was old and dried as if it had been sitting under a heat lamp for hours. I actually have no clue what semi barbeque sauce concoction they smothered the steak taco in but the taste was gag-worthy. I also ordered the combo fajitas with chicken and steak. One bite of the steak and I knew that it was spoiled or hadn't been properly refrigerated. I couldn't stomach any of their food. If I hadn't ordered everything at once I would have never ordered an entree. I believe that location tends to dictate an establishments popularity most of the time but this place given my experience would be best fitted under a rock. To a true foodie Agua 301 gets a negative five stars.
This is not a reg review about dining and the ambiance or food choice, instead this review is more about integrity understanding and going above and beyond the service of a dining out. Ms. Ali and staff was awesome in retrieving a lost wallet and not only did they retrieve it. When I realized where I left it and called to locate it she told me about how they could mail it. I was so impressed by the gesture and care in returning the wallet back to me. Thank you again wait staff and Managers in helping out an out of towner on a beautiful time out with family. Thank you Mona Ali. oh yeh and the food was fun to?
I just left your restaurant and was told you were closed. There are several patrons still In the restaurant!! I only wanted to have tacos with my son for the evening!! I will definitely inform all of my coworkers at the Department of transportation of the inconvenience I received this evening!! I stood there for several minutes and was not acknowledged!! Very bad service for a first and last time ppl patron!!
Had a happy hour $7 margarita, it was ok. A little small Imo (coming from an AZ girl). Couldn't tell you what the food was like. Originally I was going to get the beef flautas, told the waitress I have an onion allergy and she said ok. My sister stopped her to clarify that the meat not be made with onions, she said that wasn't possible. We're like ok well then thats going to be a no on that order, thanks for saying something smh! Decided to order the nachos with all the extra toppings on the side (pico, guac, sour cream ect.)due to the allergy and they sent us the nachos wrong TWO times! After that we just said nevermind, paid and left. A vegan friend we were with also requested no cheese on her tacos, stated she was vegan, and still had to send her tacos back because they came out with cheese! Review is based on over priced food and poor service.
I see a lot of the reviews are based off of the service there but my review is solely from take out. I live across the street and hadn't tried this place. I ordered one afternoon and it was so good I ordered the following day for dinner. Having lived in Mexico I can say this isn't "authentic" Mexican cuisine, but it's great for the Americanized version that it is lol. The crab cakes and salmon salad are a MUST! I'll be back for sure!
Tia was our server and she lacked the attitude and personality needed to be a waitress. She seemed irritated with doing her job. I got the chilaquiles and the top chips were cool but the bowl was filled with sauce so it was more soup than anything.
Amazing food and service!
The tacos are awesome - nothing too different, but with nice flavor complexities and combinations, all of the food shows tremendous attention to detail. Our party of 4 has a nice variety from the menu - The guac was great! Nice flavor balance and perfect texture - Tortilla soup was great - really tasty homemade base - Crispy fried oysters were the bomb! - My brother and I shared the al Pastor and Beef Barbacoa taco platters - great portions and simply amazing flavors, from the beans to the meats and all of the fixins. - My wife loved the Mexican Salmon salad and my sister devoured the Hamburguesa.
The Guacamole De Jaiba (guac w jumbo lump crab) was delicioso as were the margs. I felt like the Dinner Taco Platter for $17 was a pretty filling and standard meal and was very satisfied with the selection and taste. Felt like the atmosphere was slightly lacking but that could’ve been due to the general cold outside. Would try again in the summer when the waterfront and weather are more inviting for hopefully a more complete experience.
I like this spot!!! I went for drinks and had the spicy watermelon margarita and a few tacos. Tasty! The only reason for 4 stars is because I had to pull up google maps walking directions to find it. I wish there were signs leading to the establishment. For anyone looking for it, it's right before you cross the bridge at The Yards park. Will definitely be back soon. Cute date night spot!
