Tips for Maggie Rita's
THIS PLACE SUCKS. Maggie Ritas on Kirby at Shepherd Quality of Food has gone down and the prices has gone up. General Manager J.R. Gonzalez is very rude when you complain the service. On April 5, 2012 we made our weekly visit to the former Ninfa's and they were not playing music! The reason that a patron had a sleeping baby so there was no music! What is a Mexican Restaurant without music?? It was like a morgue. They will not survive long! The one in Galveston has already bitten the dust! Bring Ninfa's back!
never again. so me and my girl friend go in to try a new place.. the food was bad service sucked drink prices not bad..but the fruit fly that was in both our drinks notnot good so we sent them back and the server told us that we should just take it out and drink them..that is when we got up and left..never again
I would be embarrassed.
The first time i went there, my girl and i had a few top-shelf ritas on the patio and it was just fine. The patio wasn't busy and the view of the galleria is nice.
The 2nd and LAST time i went there with a friend we had some ritas and we actually ate. The house ritas were small and poor quality as to be expected but were still $4 during happy hr. I ordered the beef tacos al carbon and when they came out the beef tasted like a barn! I sent them back and got the crispy chicken tacos that were almost equally bad. My friend got the veggie quesadillas that came out missing ingredients.
The bartender ladies were scary looking and looked like they couldn't control a paddle boat together, let alone a bar. There is a very good reason no one was in this place on a Saturday. Taco bell is better.
This is Houston! Where there are countless great tex-mex places. This might be the worst i've had. These people should be kicked out of the Galleria area and forced to move to Dallas.
go for the bar and bar staff not the food or waitstaff. I went in for happy hour great prices. the food was decent a little pricy the portions were a a good size a little skimpy with the chips and salsa. The service from our waiter was horrible, he did not even really give us the time of day except for when we ordered our food and drinks. I had to go to the bar to get my drink, because the waiter did not care to check on us. The bartender was friendly and seemed to be the only staff person in the restaurant smiling. The manager was yelling at everyone there who was working, I do not think I would be smiling either with a manager like that.
Don't Go.
I had dinner there w/ my colleague, and left not planning to ever go back. We had several problems:
1) The guacamole was way too citrusy, and not enough salt. We asked for a new one, and we reserved the same guac w/ some added avocado
2) I ordered steak fajitas w/ no onions, and it came with onions
3) My colleague ordered a ceviche salad, and again it was citrusy to the point of inedibility. She asked to send it back and decided to go w/ something easy - Cheese quesadillas.
4) My colleague is a vegetarian and instead of cheese quesadillas was served a chicken quesadillas, so it had to go back
5) At this point I ask to speak with the manager, 20 minutes later the manager deigns to show up
6) The manager was very curse, obviously did not care about our experience and was only willing to give us 20% off; his attitude reinforced that we will not go back.
7) Our server though friendly struggled to communicate with us, and showed us how she had gotten the order right and the kitchen had botched the order.
Awesome!. The food was awesome and the drinks! I love the patio....the couches are comfortable! My server was Karen and she always had a smile on her face.
Great Food, Great People. I was staying at a nearby hotel and wanted to dine within walking distance. I went in to grab some dinner, and was treated wonderfully. The server treated me like I was the only person there, even though he had a few other tables. The manager came by to check on me and asked if my server was taking good care of me. The bartenders made my drink exactly as I asked for it. When I travel it's hard to find a rerstaurant that I feel comfortable with, but this one made me feel more than welcome. I will be back!!!!
!!!CHECK YOUR CREDIT CARD AFTER PAYING HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
I called Maggie Rita’s to find out how to deal with a problem I’ve had with the server adding on a ‘little extra tip’ on my debit card. After I had been on hold for several minutes, the manager came on the line. I had to explain my problem to her several times because she did not seem to be listening or understanding and therefore asked me the same questions repeatedly. The manager hung up on me, and then returned the call to say they could not help me because it was the banks fault. I went to the bank the next day and a representative helped me file credit card fraud against the company. While the amount was still pending the manager changed the amount back to the truthful amount. The server and the manager still refuse to apologize. Needless to say, I was quite frustrated.
This place has no integrity so I doubt them food and chefs do as well
I expected a much higher level of service from the company, and I am quite disappointed. Because I do not want to spend any more time on this problem, I am spreading the word.
Wonderful Experience.
A warm welcome from the hostess greeted me upon my arrival, she had the warmest and most welcoming smile. Big change!! My server was nice also
Also the food was excellent but I notice the increase in the pricing.Other than that I say welcome back Maggie Rita's and I am going back and also inviting some co-workers and firends to come along! I do advise that they go back to their old prices.
