    I ordered the mole and ended up receiving what I can best described as mechanical soft chicken with the essence of mole. When I brought it up to the attention of our wait staff they said that they had to run out of mole and just decided to scrape the pan and send out that monstrosity of a plate. Which I let my waitstaff know that that is not acceptable the proper thing to do is to let the customer know that you are out of a dish and give them a chance to pick something different. To which she said she did not see any problem with the way she did it. In my opinion if that's the case then management needs to train their waitstaff a lot better on what is acceptable customer service cuz there is no reason that you put out a dish like that.

    The food good but not great and the ambiance is alright. But you can't beat the food and drink prices or the specials! On Fridays free fajitas with a purchase of a pitcher of beer! It's especially great for college students on a budget.

    Soup portion is huge! Way too much for one or too. Seafood plate is great and enough for two too. The menudo is okay....was good for my first time but got very light/lack of flavour and thickness for my second time. We all like the chicken soup more~

    I needed way more chicken in my Chicken Quesadilla. This was like a diet chicken quesadilla, and the little chicken you get is not even throughout the whole thing, just barely halfway...yall see the pic I can't make this stuff up

    I was picking up a to go order, and was told after speaking to staff on arrival that they had not started the order after I had been there for 9 minutes, but that they were starting it now. Then 6 minutes later, someone else with the staff walked up and looked at my order. Then the original staff member I had been talking to stated they STILL hadn't started my order and were going to "in a little bit." This is a RECURRING problem with to go orders at this restaurant. I should have known better. Cancelled the order and I am never going back. Also to be noted, there was only 1 table of 4 people seated in the restaurant the entire time, who already had their food when I arrived.

    We chose Bandito Hideout because it was close to our hotel and they were open later than many of the other restaurants in the area. This is definitely a cool place! The food was amazing! They have many drink options. I would definitely love to stop back in during my next visit to Alb!

    We ordered through grubhub and my goodness This Is Food! The half chicken is cooked perfectly, moist and Delicious! We received all the sides requested. And I'm down right mad at myself for living here 10 years and Not trying this place before today. Fresh & fluffy tortillas, Delicious beans & rice. I could eat a very large helping of their geen chile alone😁 My husband and I are Very happy.

    The service was amazing and delicious. My daughter and I ordered a pozole. When it came I can only compare it to the size of four separate smaller bowls put into one. The man who seated, was so friendly. We ate and chatted with him until we left. What a great meal!

    This WAS one of my favorite places until yesterday! Service was friendly but super slow. Waiter was new but seemed he received no training. I ordered shrimp enchiladas. My order took over 30 minutes to arrive cold. Took 20 minutes for someone to come ask how my food was & was waiting for a second beer for 20 min. They never brought me water. Waiter had to go ask manager what to do about cold food. They ordered me another plate. 30 minutes later I was still waiting for it. There was only one other table of customers so not sure why it would take so long. The food came & it was hot & tasted fine. I had 2 , 16 oz. draft Dos Equis at $8. I'll never go back .

    I visited this restaurant a few times before this visit and was not impressed with the food or service, but this visit was impressive. I had ordered the Huevos Chorizo, and my friend had the Chile Rellenos plate, and the food was very tasty. The plating and presentation of the meals were exceptional. The prices are reasonable. The restroom and the restaurant were clean. I will be eating at this restaurant more frequently.

    We just ate there and I’m surprised it doesn’t have better reviews! The restaurant is spacious and they have high chairs for kids. The portions are great and the staff is very helpful. They were very accommodating with our children and the food was yummy! We are definitely going back and highly recommend.

    They have amazing food and service. My brother passed away and Marta was an Angel. A true blessing. I recommend her catering or just go to have dinner. The food is so good!

  • 5/5 None Ya B. 8 months ago on Google
    The employees have always been a pleasure. The food is actually really good. The prices are very fair for the quantity and quality. So far I've been here 5 times and I still have not been disappointed. I think the only problem that we had last time was their coke machine was extremely mellow and had no flavor it almost taste water down. The cashier made it up to us and got us bottled cokes instead. Definitely will recommend and definitely will return.

    I love their Chile quesadillas! My son loved the roasted chicken. We liked everything we got, but everyone had their favorites. The roasted jalapenos and salsas were all fresh tasting. It all tasted as if it was made from scratch and I like homestyle better than food out of cans or freezer bags.

  • 3/5 Shelly P. 1 year ago on Google
    Some of it was ok, some of it so so. The pozole was okay but was mostly broth, chile rellenos had no flavor whatsoever. Asada fries was about the only thing we liked other than the yummy horchata!

  • 1/5 Christella S. 1 year ago on Google
    We Went today to eat at one of out favorite places on sundays. This place was not the same!!!!!!! Menu was different. Service was awful. The food was bland. There was 2 huge dogs inside with a customer while they ate? This has to be under new ownership. This place was a disappointment. I would give it no stars goggle review Makes me put a star. How sad this was a really good restaurant we enjoyed eating with family and friends. Never go back there again.

    Very good, on our first (June 2022) but I hope not our last visit. Can say first-rate chicken enchiladas and excellent barbacoa, one of several seasoned meats ordered by the half-pound and served with sides. Nicely decorated, clean, sharp service, affordable pricing.
