Problem: First ate at Via Brazil, and thought it was totally not worth it for the price, about $45-$50 after tax and tip. Everyone said Texas was better. So I finally came here and the meats are negligibly better, but the salad bar is worse. They don't have carpaccio like via does, albeit not great carpaccio. The meats are ok but nothing great, but the service was awesome. I think it's because we had a large party that our server just stood in the corner of the small room we were in when we didn't need anything immediately. Honestly, it just isn't worth it. For 60 bucks (post tax+tip) I could get a steak at Gordon Ramsay Steak. And I'd rather fill up on 1 good slab of meat than on 10 different mediocre pieces of meat. They charge you a ridiculous price and it doesn't even include dessert. And at $8.25 a slice, the prices can't get any more absurd. Even at 30 bucks, I'd rather go for all you can eat Korean BBQ or sushi. They just taste better and are half the price. Oh and those cards they give you that tell them if you want more meat or not, just pretend they don't even exist. The servers come by and ask if you want it anyways. I didn't plan to ever visit here after trying Via Brazil, but it was a friend's birthday and this was the choice spot. I don't plan to ever come here again even if for another friend's birthday. The price is over the top but the meat isn't borderline inedible and the service was good, so because of that I'd have to give it 2 stars.

Problem: Waited 20 minutes for a table. Ordered and waited another 30 minutes before the waiter told us he forgot to put in our order -- "Sorry" was his only platitude. He came back and said "the manager was aware of the situation". Waited ANOTHER 30 minutes for our order to come out and it was wrong. #$%(*#$U% Got up and spoke to the manager. She had NOT been told anything. The waiter had lied. Her response was "sorry" again. We left. Horrible service. I will avoid in the future.

Problem: AAAAAAHHHH traffic and people EVERYWHERE. While the events and vendors are pretty neat, the influx of obnoxious drunks who attend this venue keep me far, far away from this place whenever events are in town. To me, the arena is just a traffic clogging roadblock. But hey, I guess it's good for some folks.

Problem: Gonna have to give this one a "no thanks" I'm afraid. Went today at lunch with a couple of co-workers, and the food was totally underwhelming. Nothing "special" at all about any of the items. The guacamole seemed to have some sour cream in it to stretch it - tasted very bland. Red and green salsa served with run-of-the-mill chips did nothing for us. Meat in all the dishes was tender but not very flavorful. Shrimp Diabla sauce was neither hot nor very tasty. All in all, a disappointing lunch. Won't be back, and with all the good options in town for excellent Mexican food, I was sad that we did not find a good new place to frequent.
