But Bill ordered their signature rib-eye steak and he was disappointed for the price of $20. He said it was dry and nowhere near as tender as at other restaurants. I got Guaymas shrimp - breaded. They were huge and the portion was large but even though they were ok; they were not as wonderful as Wings and Rice - a 'fast food' restaurant in Tucson.
Plus the presentation was very plain; not even a shred of parsley on the plate; just a mound of this shrimp. Each entree comes with a salad which was all iceberg but fresh and filled with tomatoes, carrots, olives, feta cheese, croutons, broccoli and red onion. Their thousand island dressing also passed my taste approval test. Their special cheese bread was not very special; rounds of soft Wonder bread texture rolls with broiled Parmesan cheese on top. They could have been warmer and perhaps that would have improved them.
Each entree also came with cowboy beans which were bland and then you got to pick one other side. There was a big selection to choose from but i went for the ho-hum baked potato - you can't go wrong with this spud. Oh, with the shrimp i got the tiniest portions of cocktail sauce and also (per one of my many high maintenance requests) tartar sauce. I also ordered a side of 3 baby back ribs and even though they also could have been warmer, i so wish i had ordered that for my dinner.
Each bone was encased with solid chunks of meat; no gristle and all i had to do was poke lightly with my fork and the meat just fell off because it was so tender. There was a nice bbq'd crust and crunch to the ends also. That was a real plus to the meal.
For Bill's 68th, he's going to pick another restaurant for his birthday dinner.
