"One of my favorite restaurants in the area, I enjoy it every time I get to visit! My favorite thing here is the Frito pie!"

"Food mediocre. Beer good. Service great."

"We ordered Micheladas and they were terrible. They were warm, watered down, orange in color and flat (zero carbonation). We didn't finish them and sent them back. We asked for something else to drink. My boyfriend ordered the Jetty Jack (he enjoyed his beer), and I ordered a draft Modelo Especial. My beer was warm and flat (again), and I sent it back (again). I had to go with bottled Dos Equis at this point just to get a cold carbonated beer in this place. In addition to the drinks, we ordered an appetizer, which was a mistake. Was a Trio with Tortilla chips. We were told they had just ran out of Queso when we placed our order. Not cool. So we had to get double Guac. The Guac was bland and devoid of citrus and seasoning. The salsa lacked both heat and flavor. It was super runny and equivalent to watered down tomato puree made from flavorless tomatoes. Half of our tortilla chips were stale. Aside from food and drinks, the atmosphere was nice and chill. We enjoyed all the TVs in the room. But we did not like the sticky tabletops. Our waitress was nice and did not charge us for the drinks that were sent back. That was much appreciated. Overall, after an afternoon of golfing we were looking forward to some cold drinks and tasty appetizers. Unfortunately, Turquoise Desert did not deliver."
