Lady Dahlia

Mexican restaurant

👍 We have been regular customers of Emerson's since it opened (we eat there 3-4 times a month) so when we saw that Lady Dahlia had opened, it wasn't hard to convince us to go check it out. The restaurant is near Games Plus and parking was easy to find. I recommend making reservations (we did) as the...

Mia's Cantina

Mexican restaurant

👍 Stopped for quick lunch, nice corner place with beautiful outdoor space. Only thing we didn't like are the chair and table, which were very cheap and rough and made things harder. Server was very proffessional and polite, food came out quickly with good presentation. Tacos were amazing, rice could b...

Arandas Taqueria

Mexican restaurant

🫤 From the Mexican native perspective, I write this review. I came to Arandas because it has good reviews. However, the place looks unmaintained. The chair covers are ripped, the wood needs another coat of paint, and the windows need cleaning. The chips were stale, and when I told the waitress they...

At 7 Bar and Grill

Family restaurant

😠 We’ve been to At 7 Bar and Grill a number of times in the past and decided to stop in one evening just for a drink. We were waited on by the bartender, Yessica. After serving us, I paid her for the drinks with a $10.00 bill, which ended up being the exact amount. She then said to me that I owed her...
