Tequila Grill has recently opened in Naugatuck. I went with 4 other people. There were only two tables of people eating when we got there at 6 pm. Our waitress was friendly enough. We needed extra time with the menu because the font used is a little difficult to read, especially when all of the meal names are in Spanish and then the descriptions underneath are in English. If one does not know pollo means chicken, camarones means shrimp, and so one, one would need to ask the wait staff a lot of questions about the menu.
The waitress came over and we were all ready to order except one person, who stated "You can start with them and I will know by the time they are done ordering" and the waitress smiled and said ok and walked away to go to another table. ????
To start the meal off we were given one small bowl of chips and salsa. The salsa was extremely watery and strangely sweet, although the flavor was good. We were never given a refill on this, which I thought was strange.
When she finally returned, we ordered our food and then the waitress disappeared into the kitchen. We did not see her much for the entire meal. The food was ok. For Mexican, I expected a little bit better quality. I ordered chipotle chicken and expected to see a chicken breast topped with chipotle salsa as the menu suggested. What I got was a very thin slice of chicken breast that was cut into squares and has been tossed in chipotle sauce. The flavor was good. However, it came with a side of refried beans topped with cheese. The cheese was not melted because the beans were not hot. Also on the side came a pile of lettuce, two slices of cucumber, two slices of red onion, and a tomato slice. A salad as garnish? There was also a side of rice which was ok; it was dry and relatively tasteless.
One person at the table ordered chicken enchiladas in green sauce, which looked decent if small. One other person ordered steak chimichanga which actually looked very good. Another person ordered beef burrito which also looked decent. I did not taste any of the other meals.
After our meals came, a fourth friend came to meet up with us. The waitress looked at me and said "is she eating?" then looked at her and said "are you eating?" Nice right? My friend said "I would like a water with lemon, that's it". Not for nothing, we all ordered waters with lemon and we got limes. I didn't mind, I like limes, but I would have liked to have been told that was all they had. I wish I had taken pictures for this blog now that I think about it!
