Had lunch with the family on a Sunday afternoon. Service was great we had amazing waiters and a waitress. We were greeted with smiles and seated quickly. The restaurant was beautiful art work and layout is very nice and clean and calm. Not too quiet so our big party of 10 does not disturb others. The drinks were delicious got a margarita flight with their spring special flavors and the food was delicious didn't wait long at all for our main meals and chips and salsa here are always delicious and served quickly. I recommend.

Had a lunch catered to us. We were given 2 small plastic containers(2 oz) of salsa for our entire group of 7 people. So I went back to ask for more and was told 2 is the complimentary amount given. Treated rudely-The woman at reception desk pulled out containers and wanted me to pay for salsa. I said that I wanted to speak to the manager. The manager offered to "give me" 3 more 2 oz. containers. I told the manager it was ridiculous that was all we were going to get. It's unlimited if you eat in. He said you can always ask for more. I specifically had to drive there and get treated poorly by the manager just for salsa. I left with expressing that we may not return for lunch. He said"do what you want." Guess he doesn't mind losing business vs. some extra salsa(small at that)!

Place has not been the same since 2020, assuming since its under a completely new management. I work at the community hospital and have come to Yolanda's on occasion to pick up food while on my lunch break, Recently they've messed up my order at least 3 times for me and my co-workers, and waiting for food always takes 35+ minutes, (mind you they say it'll be ready in 10-15). Apart from bad service, the female manager is oblivious, my server was too busy talking to her while I had been waiting 15 minutes for my check, both of them just standing near the bar section of the restaurant where it looks like a lot of the young staff seem to chat and kick back. Really don't want to give up on this place seeing as the ambiance is cozy and the food is good. The staff and management need to get it together.

We recently went to Yolanda's to try their Happy Hour. I have to say it was an unimpressive experience. Their Happy Hour menu is quite small and doesn't have a single healthy choice option. The quesadilla was a good portion size but was very greasy. Their drink options for Happy Hour are also quite limited. We ordered two margaritas and ended up leaving them on the table as they were horrible. To be honest the only reason I gave a 3 is because the manager was so nice. Our experience as a whole was underwhelming and quite disappointing.

Ava the server is amazing. Truth be told I haven't even eaten my food yet but ordering from her was what made me write this review. Very helpful with our dietary needs, kind, attentive and extremely informative to the available options. P/s salsa bar is great :)

Came here with my family for an early dinner. The staff were so kind, thorough, and quick with the response on requests. The food and drinks were excellent and reasonably priced. Will make this a go to for my family.
