Good food, bad service

by midsecrets at Citysearch

I really like the food at Dingos. I've been going there for several years and I've always been able to overlook their inattentive service because the food is served piping hot and it's fresh and tasty!

I was there about a week ago and I've noticed that they've stopped giving complimentary chips and salsa. The chips & salsa weren't the best, but they do make you wait quite a while to get your food so they really do need to provide the chips & salsa.

They also now require you to ask for a glass of water, okay whatever, but know that you will also have to ask for every single refill - and that's IF you're lucky enough to catch the attention of your server and they usually seem to blatantly avoid you once the food is on your table. If they want to conserve tap water, fine, but their inattentive service is inexcusable. Most of the wait staff has always acted as if they were too cool to bother with customers, but I'm not paying any more money to support them. The menu prices recently went up also, along with breaking everything down into individual items so you wouldn't notice. There are no more "meals" - everything is ordered as a separate item.

Lastly, everyone here raves about the drinks... and they do have a decent selection of "different" drink to try out, but their margaritas are horrible and are way overpriced.

I am so disappointed in this place and I'm sad to leave behind their lime chicken enchiladas, but so be it.

• Pros: fresh, hot food
• Cons: no more free chips & salsa, rude wait staff

Good Not Great Food

by michellebeth at Citysearch

The veg fajitas were very good and satisfied both my boyfriend and I (we had to ask for extras tortillas). Everything was good but not great. We both agree we've had better. I'll probably eat there again but keep looking for tasty affordable mexican restaurants.

Lunch time at Dingos

by ravsav at Citysearch

Went for lunch with a 3 yr. old and a 12 yr. old on a Sat. around 2:30 and there was no trouble with seating for four. Not much to offer the 3 year old but 12 yr. old enjoyed his steak enchilada. The halibut taco was fishy and the steak taco was okay. Soup of the day (chili chicken corn chowder) was excellent. Chips and salsa were okay, but nothing special. Really good service. Not sure if we'll go back.

• Pros: Inexpensive, weekend parking good, good service
• Cons: uneventful

Horrible Service

by TheHungryOne at Citysearch

The only thing that's good about this place is that they have outdoor seating and that the drinks are good. I personally think the food is sort of bland and not worth the trouble. I went there and it took me nearly 45 minutes to get my food.

• Pros: drinks
• Cons: horrible service
