   Waiter spilled two of our six meals on the floor right next to our table, so we had to wait for 2 to be remade. They swept up the mess but didn't actually clean the floor so it was slippery and messy. Also, no compensation for the hassle. They were out of the egg rolls, which likely means they are just frozen, disappointing. Also, the menu has changed and the prices have gone up significantly. One person ordered the crab nachos and without asking, he brought the full order so they could charge the higher price, she took them home. The waiter kept touching his hair (GROSS!) and telling ridiculous stories we didn't need to know. Then they "forgot" to add pre-set gratuity to our party of 6 so the waiter made sure I knew that and then stood over me while I filled out the receipts. Really poor experience, especially since I brought several people who just had a very unsettling first time experience.

   It appeared to be understaffed so we were served by the manager on duty. He was very nice and helpful. The food took a little longer than usual but the expectations were set up front by the manager so we knew what to expect. Everyone enjoyed the meals they ordered. Everything tasted great and the service, though stretched thin, were friendly and helpful.

   Restaurant was hot. A/C is broken. The manager said “it’s an old building and things are breaking down”. That didn’t make us more comfortable. The ice in our drinks was melting so fast because it was so warm in the building. The service was so slow I had to go put more money in the parking meter. I originally put enough for two hours.

    We had to leave. We waited for about 10 minutes at the table with no one acknowledging us. No chips and salsa no water no drinks nothing. We waited for 20 minutes at the front without anyone acknowledging us being there along with 5 other parties. This was 20 minutes of waiting after the reservation time. We looked around and nobody had any food. The entire time we were there. Another table that was sat before us also had no food drinks or water. It was terrible. We decided to leave at that point.

    We arrived with reservations. We were seated and told our server would be right over. 15 min later, no server. As we waited 4 other tables were seated. All were given chips, salsa and water. Servers continued to pass our table. Then they started taking the other tables orders and my patience ran out. I flagged down the host and let them know we had still not been served. After about 10 more minutes our server came and asked what we wanted to drink. She never introduced herself and seemed frustrated. We ordered drinks and she left. After another 10-15 min a server passed by and must have saw we were very bothered. He asked had we been helped. We let him know we had ordered drinks but our server never came to take it food order. He was able to take our food order and provided us with water as well. Our original server finally brought our drinks which were supposed to be frozen margaritas. They were almost completely melted which tells me they had been sitting for a while. The food order was messed up as the person with me let the server know he was allergic to onions yet his food was covered with onions. I must say I was extremely disappointed with my experience because I had really hyped up this place to my friend. The service was the worst I’ve had in many years. There were no apologies for the long wait times and the entire experience made me rethink whether this is someplace I would return. I really hope this was not common.

    Sitting outside for lunch was awful. We were harassed by several homeless people and there was broken glass on the sidewalk that pedestrians kept tripping over. Would not recommend outdoor seating.

    This is my favorite location for a number of reasons. Excellent host who is very informative and helpful. Thanks Jose!! Excellent happy hour deals. I am happy we were able to catch it. The drinks were strong and well mixed and the food was hot and fast. We hosted a IG/Facebook live session on the patio and the staff was so amazing with making sure we had everything we needed. Thanks for showing excellent service during such hard times.

    Right off the bat, our drinks come out wrong (frozen instead of rocks, wrong tequila in another). Also found a long hair in my drink. Then, my enchiladas come out and literally all that’s in them is meat, with a splash of read sauce on the top. I ask our waitress if there’s supposed to be cheese on it, and she visibly lies and says oh it’s inside then walks off. No cheese obviously it comes on top. Then i had to argue with the manager to just get 1 of my drinks comp’d for all of this. Keep in mind we waited an extra 25 min for my new meal. Don’t go here!

    My Carne Asada was horrible over salted. I told the waiter, he said that is how they season it. He did not offer an alternative meal, or how to make it right. So dissatisfied and disappointment.

    They were out of brisket and we weren’t made aware of that until about 10-15 mins after placing our order. 3/6 adults ordered entrees with brisket, so it was a bit unfortunate. Seems like that big of a menu item would’ve been covered in pre-shift. There was no crowd, so it wasn’t a matter of running out (that day.) Otherwise, it was fine.

    Before I elaborate, let me send a shout out to the manager and our waitress, both of whom did their best to overcome the shortcomings. Visiting here for a birthday celebration, my wife requested her favorite dish from Cyclone Anaya: Enchilda Suizas. For a couple decades, this has been her absolute favorite version anywhere. However, sad to say, they have discontinued the dish. But the kitchen staff told our waitress they could make it anyway. WRONG. It was No Where close. What used to be a wonderful sauce of poblano peppers and sour cream, was now reduced to a tasteless chardonnay sauce over a plain chicken enchilada. To make matters worse, she found a nearly two inch long BONE in it. I, on the other hand, ordered the salmon Jalisco. OMG. What I got was a well done piece of salmon covered in what generously could be described as an open can of Campbell's Golden Mushroom soup poured over it. Who is cooking back there? A third grader????? And now lets talk about our first disappointments. Three of us ordered top shelf margaritas of different varieties. We were all trying not to say anything, but we all were thinking it: These were so tart they were barely drinkable. We finally brought it to the waitress's attention. She talked to the "bartender", who said that might be because she was out of simple syrup, so thought we wouldn't notice. Closing my eyes, taking a deep breath. Okaaayy. Can you MAKE some? The manager himself actually remade the drinks and delivered them. Ten times better. So, after being a fan of Cyclone Anaya's for literally decades, we will never set foot in there again. So sad.

    The food was great. Tables were a little too close to each other. My chair kept getting bumped by the waitresses trying to get through. They allow you to choose to wear a mask or not at this time but I do wish the tables were spread out a little better. Overall, food was great and the service was good.

    Waiter and staff was very nice, but a little slow for certain things. Food wasn’t bad but was pretty basic and I don’t think it’s really worth the price. I’ve tried a few things here and it’s always just average not bad but not exceptional. Charro beans tasted exactly like a can of bushes ranch style beans. Probably won’t go back unless invited by friends .
