I recently dined at "Andale," and it was a fantastic experience. The atmosphere was vibrant and cozy, with colorful decor that truly transported me to Mexico. The food was exceptional - each dish burst with authentic flavors and fresh ingredients. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff who made great recommendations. Overall, "Andale" is a must-visit for anyone craving delicious Mexican cuisine in a warm and inviting setting.
On a dark dreary rainy night we made our first trip here. The doors opened to a sparkling bright look with eye candy everywhere. They really know how to set a mood in this place. I appreciated all the efforts put forward to make this a happy place to eat. I had a delicious plant based burrito bowl that was super filling and tangy. I was wondering if they used pickled onions. There was something that set it apart and I couldn't exactly place it but it certainly was good that night and for leftovers for lunch the next day too. My partner was also happy with his meal. He loved his spicy margarita too. I was impressed by the way the jumbo glass wasn't just crammed with ice so you take a few sips and you're done. Our server...who's been there 5 years... was top notch and delightful. I was telling my daughter the next day about it and she said "I know...I was there last week for lunch and besides that it's not 'An Dale' Mom and proceeded to Google to proved to me how it was properly pronounced." So...ok then. Cool. I love to discover and learn new things. Mission accomplished on both ends.
I don't like giving this rating because I believe they have the potential to rate higher when everything is working the way it should. Problem is that's a rare occurrence here. I'll start with the positives... their chips and salsa are good, as well as the queso, and we enjoy the margaritas. My kids like the chicken tenders and fries (excellent waffle fries) and those meals are well-portioned. I like that they have Keno. On to the cons... the first and biggest issue is the slow service, especially when the place is relatively empty. You would think that this would cause the staff to pay extra attention to the customers they do have... nope. There is no sense of urgency in regard to greeting, seating, or eating, and it's very frustrating for the customer. Maybe they're getting a stellar hourly wage (in which case, good for them) - they certainly don't act like they need the tips. Second, the food is very hit or miss as they seem to struggle with consistency. The rice and beans need work, particularly the beans, which are just bland. They're not meant to be the stars of any dish, but they don't add anything to it either. They removed one of the best things from their menu (Wafrachos - nachos made with those delicious waffle fries). It's mind-boggling as I think they have all (or most) of the ingredients on hand for these anyway. I can't imagine it was worth the expense of printing new menus. This was the final nail in the coffin for us... we just don't see any reason to return.
