impressed but my husband liked it more. we went for cinco de mayo so it was busy. i noticed their happy hour ends at five. am i the only one who thinks that is weird? the tacos were ok but over all

it was a giant plate of mushy, unseasoned vegetables ( 90 % of that being onion ) with a little pile of eggs on top. the eggs weren't even beaten before they were cooked because they were full of

all!!! when my husband and i walked in, the waitress was serving coffee to a customer.. she shouted, \" be with you guys in a minute \" she then gave us 2 menus and pointed and said, \" sit at that

i know a gluten for punishment. however today i had a much different experience. my servers name was reeni, and she was great. i had the chips and guacamole which were good. i then had the posole and it was out of this world. reeni thank you for taking the time explaining the restaurant as well as the food. i will return.", "food was very delicious. table side guacamole was awesome. we both got a taco dinner which was very yummy w a side salad. filling and fairly healthy, tasted extremely fresh. we got out in 30 min for a flight. highly recommend and will definitely be back!!", "outstanding service! taryn took great care of me which is number one on my requirements for airport restaurants. the food was delicious ( mexican omelet ) and the drinks were perfect. in a lot of the negative reviews the comments state how expensive the food is. really guys? it is the airport! the operating expenses at an airport are a lot higher than at a regular restaurant. i take no issue with the prices. great food, service with a smile and the ability to get in and out quickly? perfect! thanks barrio cafe!", "i have to say i was pleasantly surprised by the chilaquiles! i order my food to go because of the limited time before my connecting flight. when at the counter the cashier asked how i wanted my eggs... i was slightly confused because i thought they were always mixed in. needless to say i just said scrambled. the taste was amazing! the cheese was phenomenal and taste was incredible! the chilaquiles were prepared perfectly, they reminded me of the ones i enjoyed while living in tj. i would definitely go back. try it.", "just had lunch there. i arrived around 9 : 30 wasn't to impressed with the breakfast menu. i had a great server anna. i had a drink called chata which was delicious but pricy for a small glass. i had to wait till 10 to order off the lunch menu. i ordered the tacos de camaron. i was very disappointed don't recommend them at all. very small one shrimp on each taco, no flavor. i had to dump tapatio and it still tasted like i was just eating corn tortilla with fried batter. anna did offer me something else but i didn't have time to wait for them to make something new. i had to catch my plane. the star is for anna", "give it 3. 5 stars. service is really quick i got my food in about 5 - 10min. i had the arizona burrito. it was pretty good. filled with tender pork topped with green chili. the green chili was flavorful. i would recommend. the fish tacos looked good too.", ], "summary": "i was at the airport and wanted to eat a little something before my flight. i decided on the guacamole. it was fantastic! there is even a little surprise of pomegranate seeds in it. they prepare it table side and you can tell them how much or how little of each ingredient you want. the chips were also good as was the ice tea. the next time i am in town i will definitely go to the regular barrio cafe in scottsdale." }, { "id": "111", "reviews": [ "pretty good quality sushi for ayce. lots of variety and food is pushed out of the kitchen / bar pretty quickly. however, i don't think that any of the staff would win any customer service trophies anytime soon. they are on the most part unfriendly, abrupt and will ask you directly if you plan on tipping them if they don't immediately see any extra cash on the table. service aside though, i'm a fan of their food.", "food : great variety and very tasty. love all their little side dishes ( soft shell crab, beef tataki, butter mushroom... yum!!! ) service : not the worst but, definitely could improve a bit. few time we've walked in and had to wait few quite a bit before they even say hi to you when the restaurant wasn't even busy. one time we asked to sit on the booth and they said no and would rather save it for a bigger party which was fine and understandable, until another couple walk in after us and got it right away... prince sushi is one of my favourite sushi place in the gta, food is always good!", "love their teriyaki and gyoza, large variety of sushi. friendly service but can be a little slow as they are always busy. restaurant is a bit small and dark.", "pleasantly surprised by this place. one of best sushi places i've experienced, food - wise. the lukewarm customer service experience is the only reason i'm giving it 3 stars. i do value good customer service.", "i'm a fan, ayce comes to 28 dollars. good food mediocre service. me and my gf come here pretty often for sushi fix. i like the chicken fried rice, green dragon roll, spicy tuna roll, shrimp tempura and avacado salad! they recently changed up the menu.", "sushi was fresh ; it came with a bowl of miso soup and salad. i'd say their sushi was better or similar to typical sushi you can get at a shopping mall sushi chain. i found it unusual that they charge you for your bag if you order a take - out because most restaurants don't charge you for the plastic bag used for the take - out.", "the sushi was delicious! the only thing i'd comment on is that the food came out very slowly. we ordered a lot ( as there were a lot of us ) but they also stuck us in a dark corner of the restaurant, maybe they forgot about us because we were hidden?", "the quality of the sushi and other items are really good compared to other all you can eat sushi restaurants however the service isn't the most consistent. in the 4 times i've been i have only been asked if i wanted a refill once, all the other times i had to waive someone down. other than that i do continue to come here since the food is good.", ], "summary": "been here a few times as ayce places go this is one of the better i've tried but their menu has changed so you don not to have options of all the classics anymore. green dragon roll and spider rolls were trustworthy and their hand roll spicy tuna was pretty good. like that they offer dessert even though not listed on the menu." } ]
