El Tenampa - Shelby

Unfortunately, our experience at this restaurant was quite disappointing. Despite its positive reviews and convenient location near our hotel, we were less than impressed. It took us 10 minutes to be seated, even though there was no line and the restaurant was nearly empty. After another 10 minutes, our order was finally taken. However, it took an additional 25 minutes for our food to arrive, and only one out of three meals was correct. Overall, it took 45 minutes from start to finish, and the food was bland and unsatisfying. To make matters worse, we were charged for items we did not expect to be on our bill. While some may enjoy this restaurant, our experience left much to be desired. - Gus

The food is decent, but not outstanding, and the service is lacking. We were never offered any drinks and had to ask for water ourselves. It seems like they are trying, but lack organization.

We had a long wait to be seated at this restaurant despite it not being very busy. When we were finally seated, the waiter asked if my service dog bites people, which was completely inappropriate. My service dog is well-trained and registered, and should not be treated this way. Service dogs are essential for their disabled owners and should be accepted by the public. The waiter's attitude and question were unacceptable. The quality of our meals was also disappointing, with one dish being good and the other being terrible. The steak in my fajitas burrito was extremely tough and difficult to chew. Our service was subpar - the waiter forgot to bring our chips and salsa, and my ice tea was also forgotten. The sugar packets were hard as a rock. I would not return to this restaurant and would not recommend it to others. It would be better to find another place to eat in town.

Don't let the exterior of this restaurant fool you, it may not have great curb appeal. I decided to dine here based on the positive reviews and I was extremely satisfied with my experience. I ordered the carne asada and it was excellent, deserving of a five-star rating.

This is a great place to eat when visiting town. The service is fantastic from the moment you walk in. My drink never hit the table, which shows how attentive the staff is. The food was delicious.
