It's not Velveeta it's a Land O Lakes knock off.

Went last weekend. Thought it was pretty decent. Good salsa. Got a margarita with a purple haze flip over in it. I never drink stuff like this. Thought it was damn tasty!

Good to know they listened to criticism rather than ignored it

I went today. Had the lava nachos w/ fajita chicken (off of the lunch menu). I enjoyed my meal but the computers were down, so everything took fooorrreeevvveeer. They did warn us of this before we sat. I'd go back

I went there a few weeks ago before Iron Man 3. Got nachos. They were salty, salty, salty. Had a margarita with jalepenos that was pretty crappy. I seriously doubt I'll go back. Not to be an a-hole, because its a little guy doing something, but I'll be shocked if they make it a year.

They have that margarita at Walkons too. Strawberry and jalapeños. I couldn't finish it there.

Went for lunch with my wife and mom. HORRIBLE food.
Appetizer was fried balls of Pepper jack cheese that were meh especially with the bland sour cream dipping sauce. I got the Carnitas tacos, no flavor at all. guacamole tasted old, as did the lettuce. Pork had zero flavor, rice tasted like it came out of the microwave. Beans were good as was the salsa. Mom got the same thing as I did and agreed. Wife got a chicken burrito that "was on par with taco bell". Overall some of the blandest food in Baton Rouge.

ETA: service was pretty crappy also.

If you're interested in having a conversation with the next person next to you better bring a megaphone because with all the music/video blaring that place can get loud and that was during the afternoon.

If done right, it can be quite good. One of the best frozen margaritas I've ever had was in Austin at the Iron Cactus. It was a frozen jalapeno margarita. The fresh jalapeno was blended into the margarita. It was good enough for me to spend a good bit of time trying to replicate it that summer. Never could get it just right.

I actually went today and wasn't impressed at all. The margaritas were below average. The food was so-so at best. Service was terrible. Only good thing was there was a lot of tv's

Horrible service. Had to ask if we could order our food. Had to ask for everything. Waitress was horrible.

Food was fair. Marg was great.

I like the stage behind the bar.

They need some major help or they will be another restaurant that will go down in Perkins Rowe.

Will never go back
