Also, I understand having to cater to your demographic, considering this establishment is located in Yates Center KS, I get that your menu can 't be very authentic . It 's almost if they have a country section of the menu. That being said, despite the menu being huge, the options seemed very limited. On another note, our waiter was extremely friendly and pleasant. The only thing that bothered me about him specifically, was he delivered my limes to the table by hand, with no gloves and proceeded to place them upon the table top next to my drink. No bowl, no gloves, nothing. Aside from him, the rest of the staff was very unpleasant and unprofessional. The amount of banter and horseplay infront of customers was astounding. As for the food... it was bland and flavorless. Thank God I asked for a side of Pico deGallo, or my food would have tasted the same as Taco Bell. Please just do yourself a favor and make the drive to El Ricon Azteca in Chanute KS.

Lots of friendly people, cute shops in the town square and that 's where this is located. The service is good although nurse your drink as no one comes to refill or ask if you want another beverage. The atmosphere? It 's a banquet size hall with tables and black pleather chairs and booths lining one wall. It 's vast for a small town restaurant which is why I 'm thinking, wow! They must have a regular clientele! And must be tasty. I order a small margarita on the rocks with salt. It arrives with no salt and is so watery I can barely taste the lemon lime filler. No lime on the glass either. Just basically a Fresca soda without the fizz and tepid. (I abhore tepid). The chips and salsa are winners. I absolutely loved the salsa which was great going in and after about 2 seconds your reaction is, oh wow, that had a bite. The guacamole is just pounded avocado and nothing else-no tomatoes, no onion, no cilantro, nada! Zip! Zilch! Disappointing. My burrito arrived TEPID and it was absolutely lukewarm in taste as well. BLAND. Like eating hominy or okra. BLAND. I 'm pretty sure the cheese on top was a squeeze pouch from U S Foods. BLAND. It was a very pallid and wan experience for my favorite type of food.
