Food was good even through we did not get what we ordered, and once the food was delivered to our table we did not see our server until he brought us our check.
For years, dare I say at least two decades and maybe more, LaNop seems to be a cornerstone for the Jax restaurant scene. It's always busy yet it's very possible for better Mexican food to be found elsewhere at other restaurants. Over the years, I feel their prices have increased yet that increase does not correlate with the quality. Service is generally hit or miss - it's not something they seem to pride themselves on. We generally see our server to get our drink order, drinks delivered + food order, and around the time for the bill. Sometimes we see them an additional time or two, but don't count on it. Chips and salsa to every table and ordering queso is a must. Their Guac doesn't taste as though they make it, but like it's already smashed avocados in a bag (aka - avocado pulp; trust me, that exists). Their soft chicken taco is my daughter's favorite menu item. I've had their rellenos (they use poblano peppers) and it's not bad. They're just missing a "wow" factor and a reason for me to want to go there. We more so go there when we literally can't think of anywhere else and don't want to drive into Jax - but not because we're craving it and want to.
The service was horrible. We waited 15 minutes after we were sat to get drink orders taken. We ran out of salsa and he never brought any more after being asked. He brought the wrong drink order. It took 3 times asking for a take out container before we got it. We spoke to the manager and nothing was done.
Pretty good food at a pretty good price. Worth trying if you have not been there.
Great food! Great service! Great atmosphere! Our favorite place for Mexican fare, whether dining in, or taking out. DEElicious!
