A former waitress...I am overly polite. The food here is fabulous and the margaritas are wonderul! But our server was beyond rude. If you end up with a male waiter named Shelby....request another. I took my grandmother and brothers out for dinner here since we were all staying at Valencia next door. Our waiter was a creep from the begining. We saw the table next to us order tableside guacamole and it looked great so we ordered some too($9). After 30 minutes and 2 rounds of drinks we noticed our food coming but hey....where was the appetizer? I made Shelby aware that our appetizer never came so we wouldnt be charged..no biggie. Well...this guy brings out a fajita prep consisting of pico and guac and says this is tableside guacamole. .C'mon...I'm blonde not an idiot! First of all, it was to be an appetizer. Secondly...you're really insulting me when you put down regular ole guac from the kitchen after I saw a young lady making it "tableside" and third...when I ask you to please remove it from the table since its not what I ordered and you roll your eyes and sigh as if I'm bothersome...i have a problem with that. Shelby actually left the guac on the table and refused to take it. I would give Acenar a 5 star rating for food, margaritas, decor, ambiance and reservations BUT the waiter was TERRIBLE. We might go back but I will not have Shelby wait on my family.
Pros: great food and potent margaritas
Cons: lots of stairs, noisy, rude server
