A: I drove 40 minutes from the other side of town to try this place on the strength of a positive review in Desert Companion. When I got there at 12:30, they were inexplicably closed. No sign, or indication; they just randomly closed an hour and a half early for no reason. First rule of customer satisfaction: be open when you say you will!!!

A: I feel nothing is a total negative experience so I will start with the positives: 1. Very clean and neat 2. I cannot remember seeing out of order signs on equipment 3. Towels available everywhere Unfortunately there are many negatives and the led to me canceling our membership there. They are as follows: 1. Uncaring/detached staff 2. Basketball court rarely available during the weekend due to "special programs" going on 3. Movie area way too loud 4. Limited equipment for the price 5. Poor layout 6. Sterile environment (not referring to cleanliness) 7. Oh, uncaring staff........ I will say that the main reason we canceled after 18 months was the way the staff reacted to questions/comments. It's not that anyone was rude (they were cordial), but you never felt like anything you mentioned was thought of for even one second after the issue was raised. It is a shame since there is a lot of potential for this place and it is so convenient. In the end I went back to a different gym that charges me much less but I do not like as much. I am sure Mountainside will do well because of the area they are in and the positives I mentioned but in the end it will not thrive until they have a staff that is welcoming and cares about the members. I would say to avoid this place even though there are worse places. They charge you a premium for limited amenities and you are pretty much on your own after signing your contract. When we canceled no one even tried to stop us or ask why and that speaks volumes as to how much they care.

A:
it's summer and tomatoes are at their prime, but canned are used in the salsa here. Guac has such a bizarrely smooth texture there's got to be something else in it beside avocados...cream cheese? Queso is of the canned variety and while bizarely addictive (because who else serves queso in Vegas and let's face it, any is better than none at all..) is kind of sour. Then there are lunch specials. Order the tostada and beware! bring an army of hungry folks - it's not one, it's 2 loaded up and served with a generous side of vegetables. Look - is getting lots of food a bad thing? No, but who wants mexican food the day after - it's soggy, drippy, awful. Particularly if you're packaging up leftovers in foam clamshells (who still does that???!!). Wouldn't it be easier to actually offer portion sizes tailored towards lunch and not the ultimate food coma? Don't want tequila or a beer? Yes, it's possible - and one decent white wine isn't too much to ask - but apparently here it is. Gack. I should have brought my entire office to eat the meal I purchased -- they'd have left completely full - but I wanted some quiet time after a stressful morning of back to back meetings. Now I know why I've not been in before and why I probably won't be back. Oh yeah...folks that work there have grown accustomed to it and probably don't notice it - but the restaurant smells bad. I should have left before entering completely - but I was just worn out and thought surely it couldn't be that bad. It was 12:30 - only 2 other tables straggled in before I left at 1:30 -- and it's near campus. I think folks have already figured out that this is not the best choice. Sorry guys. I really wanted to like you.
