HORRIBLE! STEER CLEAR! BAN THIS PLACE!
On December 12th, 2015, my wife and I had reservations at the Red Pepper Taqueria off of Briarcliff Rd. In Atlanta. We had made the reservations over a week ahead of time. The day before our reservation we received an email confirming our reservation. We showed up at 9:25 pm for our 9:30 reservation. The hostess said, you don't have a reservation because we didn't take reservations for tonight, however she stated that they had a booth available regardless, so it wasn't an issue. After getting seated our waitress finally came to our table after ten minutes. I order a Dos Equis Amber. She came back five minutes later and advised me they were out of it. Surprising, as this is a Mexican restaurant and that is a main beer offering there, but these things happen... I guess. We were ready to order food so I asked the server if I could order a cheese enchilada a la carte. She said they only come in three's and because the owner was there she can't, otherwise she would. My wife ordered a margarita. It tasted horrible. Rather than point this out, we just put it to the side and ordered her a Blue Moon since we saw a Blue Moon pull tab on a table across the restaurant. Meanwhile, our cheese dip and chips had shown, but not the salsa ordered twenty minutes previously. Upon returning to our table the server advised Blue Moon wasn't available unless we were sitting at the table the pull tab was located at. I then asked for her to please send the manager or owner over when they were free. She went to the hostess stand, stood there for a couple of minutes and came back and said the owner is busy and can't come. I informed her I would wait for them. Finally the "owner" came over. I added quotation marks because surely this wasn't the real owner especially after the way he acted. I told him about the Dos Equis and he asked the server why I couldn't have one. She then changed her story and said because the handle is broke. Then I told him about being denied the ability to order a single cheese enchilada. He asked the server why not. I then asked about the Blue Moon and he said why can't he have a Blue Moon and she said because the table where the pull tab was located is crowded. What "owner" doesn't know inventory and procedures? The "owner" then asked what he could do for me. I advised him that I would like a Dos Equis, cheese enchilada, and a Blue Moon. He said hold on, and while walking away he quietly said, "sitting there taking up a table." When he returned I asked him why he said that and he bold faced lied and denied it. He then said he can't offer me any of my requests and if we don't like it we can just leave. WHAT? With my food order, Heineken, and wife's margarita my bill for the forty five minutes we were there was at $67 thus far. And now the "owner" is saying that he doesn't care his server has lied and that he is willing to lose customers. WOW! I paid my bill and we left. On my way out I asked if the "owner" owns the Buckhead location too and was told he does. I have since researched and found a lot of complaints about this place as well as a news story detailing the previously failed health score. Take your business elsewhere. An "owner" of this low class caliber deserves one thing, and that's to be put out of business.
