I ordered the sweet potato and avo tacos and some tortilla chips so I could try the proffered table salsas. The tacos had exactly the ingredients advertised and thus were quite bland. The salsas were all watery, none were appetizing, and only one was even mildly spicy. On the plus side, none of the food was very greasy, although the lack of greasiness could be attributed to the ingredients composing each dish. I do not think Desperado has cracked the formula for good Mexican food.

Also, why the chicken strips in my wrap were breaded and deep fried but still soggy is beyond me. In short: Neither the service nor the food were any good or recommendable, won't go again.

Food I like the food a lot. Tex-Mex. I 've tried many different plates now and I really like almost all of them, and the portions are generous too. Service Most of the personnel is really friendly. There 's this one guy though who never ever smiles and tries to pass it off as cool. Then when he brings you the check he tells you **** like I 've got a family to feed so you 'll give him a bigger tip, tries to make it like a cool joke but it 's just really annoying. He offered us a glass of water to go with the wine (in Switzerland it 's pretty common that they 'll serve you a glass of tap water when you order wine), then brought us two bottles of water, even though it was clearly implied we just wanted a glass of tap water. It 's a silly trick to get you to spend more, but this guy ruins the mood anyway so we usually don 't stay for drinks after eating. We try to avoid him every time we go, all of the other ones that served us so far have been really very nice and always in a good mood! Prices The prices are really appropriate considering the quality and the quantity of the food. They do this silly thing though where they charge you extra for some things. Like if you order fajitas it comes with three little sauces, then if you want more sauce you have to order that separately and pay one or two bucks on top. It 's sooo annoying! It 's the kind of bullshit you expect at McDonald 's, but for a restaurant that 's so weird. If you really need those extra two dollars, just charge more for the plate and then serve me the food you know I want. Again, plate sizes are generous, so why be so cheap with the sauces? I don 't get it, pretty ridiculous. They do the same thing with the hamburger. Charge you extra for cheese, bacon and whatever like it 's a fast food chain. If it weren 't for that one guy and their cheap pricing system, I would definitely give this place four stars.
