I have been calling this place since opening day to make reservations for the upcoming weekend; but no one ever answers the phone!!!! Guess I will make reservations elsewhere. Very frustrating!

My family attended the Big XII basketball tournament in Kansas City Marach 13-16. We ate at the Tengo sed Cantina on Sat afternoon on March 15th. The food was great and the service was fine until a waitress with a tray full of beer and tequila shots was bumped and the tray ended up on my lap along with the contents. My lap, bottom and coat were drenched. The yound lady asked me what she could do for me and I told her they needed to mop up the spillage and I wanted to talk to the manager. The manager came to our table and was very rude and kept repeating “What do you want me to do?)over and over again . My bottom was completely soaked and my coat saturated. The waitress came back and wanted to know if we needed anything and I told her to tell the manager I wanted the meals compt. She returned and said he was not going to do that so in frustration I told her to tell him to get his ass back to the table so I could talk to him. He returned to our table and threatened to call security for me yelling at the waitress and being disorderly and have me evicted. I could not believe what I was hearing from him. The restaurant was very busy and maybe he was stressed, but to handle that situation the way he did was totally uncalled for. Again the food was great but I am not sure I want to go back because of the treatment I received for having beer spilled on me.

I have eaten here twice (both with a work group) and was unimpressed both times. The food is bland. Chips & salsa are NOT complementary (what kind of mexican restaurant does not provide free chips & salsa?). Service is slow. To top things off, I was just reconciling my receipts to my bank statement, and apparently the waitress rounded the tip I left up to the nearest dollar, because my card was charged for more than I signed for. I tried to call the place just now to bring the issue to their attention and have it resolved, but no one bothered to answer the phone. Very frustrated, and will not be going back except to resolve my credit card charge.

This is an update to my prior post. I was finally able to get through and speak with a manager about the credit card situation - he was very friendly and helpful and is handling the situation to my satisfaction. Just wanted to be fair and leave a comment on my “good” experience as well.

After waiting for 1 1/2 hours for a table last Saturday night, our group of six decided to split up so we could eat. We were nice about splitting up only because we were starving! When the waitress came over to our table, she questioned us on how we got seated without menus. She thought we just sat down at her table without permission. Thankfully the hostess was behind her with menus. We ordered drinks from the waitress and she rudely told us that they do not have Bud Light Lime beer. When my husband told her that we had already had one from the bar, she still told us that they didn’t have it and was really snotty about it. (Guess what! They DO have it!) She brought it back and slammed it down on the table. We decided against pushing this issue as we did not want her to sneeze in our food or something! Personally I was so embarrassed as I took the five other people there at my suggestion. Needless to say, it was my second time and LAST time to be there! How sad! The Power and Light needs a good Mexican restaurant! Tengo is not it and after reading some of these other comments, they won’t be around for long.

I was in there Friday June 20th with about 20 people for a birthday party. Also I want you to know that I do understand your bounces put with a lot of stuff. But I also believe they should look at who they are talking to. Again I was in there sitting and drinking with me were the V.P. of JE Dunn and the President and V.P. of the Hispanic Chamber. So this should tell you that I’m a business professonal. My wife and there wives went up on stage to dance, so I stood up to take a picture of them. Within seconds of that picture the dancer of your staff blone hair overall, and red top got down and told your bouncer blonde hair short, straight line beard down his chin and well built that I was video taping them. Your bouncer came over to me and said I’m giving you a warning that you can’t video tape. I told him that I wasn’t video taping anyone I was taking a picture of our wives. So I turn around and he grabbed my arm and said I giving you a warning you do it again and I will through you out personally. I was very embearassed by this type of treatment. I think your bounces need to be a little bit more professonal. I have already changed my dinner plans with the same gentleman and others out of your business because of the way your people acted. I will be calling you personally and from what I can tell I hope you answer the phone. I can tell you this the 20 something crowd will not always be there but the 35 to 50 business people will always spend money with no complaints. I just felt I was treated very rudley. Maybe as a business you care or maybe you don’t.
Thank You
for your time.
