Such a horrible experience today (2/22) at this location. It’s national margarita day, so me and my partner decided to choose El Pescador of all places to eat at because we wanted a different atmosphere than our typical spots. Unfortunately it was a mistake to come here as the service completely ruined our time and schedule for the day.

To start, we arrived at 3pm and it was decently busy inside, no wait and we got to choose our table. It takes about 15-20 minutes before a waiter comes and asks what we’d like to drink, but the wait allowed us to figure out everything we’d like to order already so we did all at once. We didn’t mind the wait as I said it was decently busy, and we understood that. There was however, a LOT of staff in the restaurant so it did not seem like we should’ve been waiting as long as we did.

Our meals and drinks arrived pretty quickly but the margaritas were very watered down and that was disappointing — we are paying $14 for a margarita and you’d expect it to taste at least a bit like alcohol. Our waiter brought us utensils AFTER we had already been sitting with our meals but thankfully he was quick to notice that we needed some. The downfall begins after this.

Not once after our utensils were brought to the table were we checked on. Not a, “would you like another drink?”, not a, “how’s the food?” (Which is the most commonly asked question at ANY restaurant), and I must say that was very disappointing. Nonetheless we finished our meals and drinks, and were just chatting until our waiter walked by or came to *finally* ask if we needed anything (like the check perhaps). NONE of that happened though and we literally waited between 35-40 minutes before we got extremely annoyed of waiting and went to the hostess table to ask if we can pay our bill already. The hostess at the desk went to get a manager (male) and he just stood there, printed our check after we explained we waited 40 minutes with no service and said “sorry for the wait” after charging us.

This felt highly unprofessional and for someone who has been to a variety of restaurants and never had this problem, it felt like a slap in the face. There was zero accountability or attempt at accommodating. Usually a restaurant will offer a kind discount on a tab or knock off a margarita or anything, but this place did not do any of that. They kinda just told us to pay and leave, despite wasting 40 minutes of our time. We never saw our waiter as well. Of all the Pescador locations I’ve been to, this is easily the worst due to that kind of service. Especially from the manager once we asked to pay. I don’t think I’ll ever be returning to this location and the manager should learn a thing or two about customer service/guest relations. As someone who owns a business that involves customer service, this entire scenario is embarrassing.

I order a a catering of 2 large trays of fajitas one with beef and chicken and the other one beef chicken and shrimp. They gave me more vegetables than the actual meat. And it came with only a bag of chips and a 16oz salsa for the price it’s not worth it

Richardo is one of the best food servers I’ve ever experienced. The service is fast, friendly, and always welcoming. The staff pays attention to every detail, making sure every customer feels valued. The food is consistently fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared you can tell they genuinely care about quality. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick bite or a drink, Richardo never disappoints. Highly recommended to anyone who loves great food and excellent service!

The food is pricy, drinks are good, and the best part is the atmosphere. The lively crowd in the bar area was nice. Sundays during football season is great.
