Review summary

Lona Cocina Tequileria offers a vibrant beachfront dining experience with "great food and a fun atmosphere."

    Went based on time out review. Waitress could have cared less if we were there. Food is very average. Sizzling fajitas were warm, not sizzling and bland. Patron mezcal drinks way too sweet. One couple was FaceTiming loudly and asked the waitress to speak to them and she did nothing. Overall….i would stay away.

    We had one of the worst meals ever. Not one single dish we ordered was done well, from taste to presentation. We left hungry after we paid $168. In addition, the service was really slow and inattentive. Drinks arrived 45 minutes after we were seated. Our server was nowhere to be found. He never cleared the table nor asked why we hadn’t even touched our meals when he brought the check. Service charge of of 18% was automatically added to our check although it wasn’t earned. Not wanting to ruin our day, we just paid the bill and left. Save your money, go somewhere else.

    Be careful of their service charge. They couldn’t seat us as a table of 7 but charged us as a large party. Good food and good service

    Not a very good selection in the buffet, I would not recommend this place as it is currently. The best part were the drinks and service.
