What People Are Saying About La Cueva Restaurant

In Short – Customers can stop by the colorful, fun bar for a drink or head into one of the pretty dining rooms, where owners Norma and Alfonso Nunez are usually on the scene. Chunky and fresh guacamole starts many meals. Entrees include taquitos, burritos, tacos and chicken mole: grilled chicken breast served with a thick sauce made of chilies, vanilla wafers, cinnamon graham crackers, garlic, marjoram and Mexican chocolate. Rice, beans, guacamole and tortillas complete the dish.
Happily Awaiting the Demise of this Trainwreck
by BigJay at Citysearch
This restaurant has become a sore point with me. What seems like generations ago now, this place used to have top notch food and great service.
Now it is a broken shell of what it used to be. Food is possibly the worse in town, service is completely abysmal. These people deserve a smack in the face for letting a good spot for food go under so badly.
All that is left is for the people who used to enjoy this place to now watch the clueless owners finish flushing it down the toilet. And at this point, I will feel nothing but complete and total satisfaction to bear witness to this mistake finishing itself off.
I wish Molly the worst for letting this happen. Your family would be proud!
- Pros: Distant memories of good meals once enjoyed
- Cons: That this place still finds a reason to open its doors
DO NOT DO IT!!!
by bigredone at Citysearch
This place used to be good, now it is awful! They (as in every person who works there) do not care about the customer...our waitress spilled a tray of margaritas down my mother-in-laws back and then blamed US!!! WTF! The food used to be good, now it comes out cold and soggy. If you ask for a crisp taco shell you get a dirty look...Taco Bell does a better job. I have eaten at the place a dozen times prior and I can tell you this...I WOULD NOT LET MY WORST ENEMY EAT HERE! If you do not believe me, go there for drinks on a Friday night at 6PM and see how empty the place is!!! DO NOT DO IT TO YOURSELF! STAY AWAY!
- Pros: cold beer
- Cons: everything else
Worst Treatment I've Ever Received
by JuneyTunes at Citysearch
I have never been treated so horribly by any one in my life. Seriously.
I received terrible service one night after being a faithful customer for numerous years. I thought that mgmt should know so I asked to talk to the manager. It was the brother (I can't remember his name - his sister Molly is a co-owner). When I explained the service problems, he proceeded to treat me so horribly it took me by surprise. One of the statements he made to me was: "who do you think you are? You are nobody."
I was a faithful customer until that point.
- Pros: Food was great
- Cons: The owner
