Q: On my first visit here upon the recommendation of a friend of their excellent hot dogs, I went and had a very good Chicago style hot dog. Having commonly gone to Chicago for experiments, I have had quite a few Chicago style hot dogs from Chicago, and these are up to par with those that I have had in Chicago. I had not known about their excellent ice cream waffle sandwiches on this first visit. When I went a second time and had this delicious treat, this place really stood out from other locations around the university. I'm a fan of vanilla ice cream and they definitely have the staple ice cream flavors such as this to go with your waffle sandwich. But, for those who like to try interesting combinations of flavors will love how the owner makes a special ice cream of the week to go with this dessert. Overall, a very good place. Enjoy!

Q: Slow service... Bartender got in an argument with a guest about warm beer glasses, margarita was watery and took forever to come out. Guacamole tasted like it had mayo in it... Bring back Chinita!

Q: This is a very nice, informal, trattatoria style Italian Restaurant in the Aria Hotel section of City Center. We had a large party and the staff quickly pushed three tables together to accommodate us. They must have worked out the bugs because, unlike other reviews here, the service and food were excellent. We started with apps. We went for the seafood platter and finished it off with a couple of entries of the fresh made pasta with meat sauce that they divided into app portions. The shrimp on the platter were a little overcooked and rubbery, but the oysters were very good--just the right hint of salt. For the entre, I threw the crew a curve ball and they hit it out of the park! I asked if they could make Veal Saltombocca since they had all the ingredients listed on otter dishes. I got a thumbs up after the waiter checked with the kitchen. IT WAS GREAT! Not as good as Piero's, but excellent non the less. Everyone else in the group also agreed that their food was very good to excellent and we all raved about how well the service went. It was a fabulous meal. It will be seen how well this restaurant does--along with the several others around it. The crowd on this Wednesday night was okay. The crowds at City Center in general were light. I would give this place a shot. Very good!

Q: Maybe I came on an off day? Maybe my expectations are a little too high as of late? But seriously, how does this place have this volume of ratings and maintain this high of an average?! I'm not sure if I'm more pissed at the restaurant for being sub-par or this many yelpers being fooled by such simple bullshit. It's my fault for being on my dying cell phone and not taking the time to read the reviews. Otherwise I would have dismissed this place IMMEDIATELY when I realized "multiple salsas" was the CONSISTENT 5 star standard for a quality establishment! Are you frickin kidding me? Food. I'll try to take my shitty experience out of this equation for the moment and ask why people love this bland cookie cutter On the Boarder franchise-esq, no heart, soulless food? After finally be able to put in the order (after 20 min wait) we waited another 20 mins (I know because I timed it) to get a cold to semi-warm plate, the carnitas was over cooked, tough (that's a HUGE accomplishment if you know how to make it) and bland. Had a nice piece of bone in there too. The beans had that nice dried crust layer on top like it had been sitting under the heat lamp a little too long but was too far to get the heat. That salsa everyone loses their shit over, was okay. El Torrito and On the Boarder has that too, so does Rubio's technically. Service: This was just stupid. And I'm kicking myself for not walking out. Went on a late Sunday afternoon after hiking Mt. Charleston (needless to say, hungry). The place is hardly busy. One girl comes over to take drink orders, says she can't take beer orders, but the the bartender can who will also be our waitress. I don't know why she couldn't have given our order to the bartender when she informed her of our table. 10 mins later, bartender comes (Natalie) "You want something from the bar?" Place DRINK order. I've been watching her from my table 15 ft away flirting with some douche face at the bar. Beer comes out in a glass so cold the beer is slushy. I'm not only a pretentious dick, I'm also a beer snob. I like to taste my beer, frozen glass = no taste. In spite of my annoyance, I asked nicely If I can have a glass that isn't iced. Natalie "They all come like that." Me, "how about that (soda) glass that isn't frozen or run one under some cold water?" 10 mins pass, flirts with douche, comes back, replaces beer in different frozen glass. Now takes FOOD order. Food comes out like it's been under a heat lamp and the beans have that nice crust on them. We pick at our food. Flag Natalie down for our bill, and get the hell out of this pit. This place sucks. The food sucks, the service sucks, the menu sucks. there isn't any thing redeeming about this place. Someone please correct me if I'm out of line here.
