Ayutla's Family Mexican - Goldendale

What to say about this place_ OMG!! we arrived and were nearly promptly seated. We emediately notice signs all around; on the walls and in the worn out menus of EXTRA FEES. We noticed that everything on menus seemed quite high in price; and you guessed it. If you share a plate_ they FEE you some more_OMG! Our waiter FINALLY came back and took our order we weren 't even going to mess with sodas at about $4/glass. We didn 't even get asked if we wanted any additional drinks or such. Our meals took not too long_not before our waiter came back by and asked if my wife had ordered the Mexican pizza OR a Mexican salad. I had the LUNCH chicken salad which was $1 cheaper then the DINNER exact chicken salad . and as said my wife had there rendition of the Mexican pizza . My salad had allot more chicken. The salad under it_First time for everything; it was not that appetizing honestly. Chicken was thin and smartly dried out and not allot of lettuce. My wifes Mexican pizza she said she did t feel even had bottom crust, just a bunch of ingredients with a burn sided crust over top; it was the sorriest looking mexican pizza i have ever seen!. Once done, we waited and waited, and waited, and WAITED for our bill. We finally had to flag down our waiter as he passed just for him to get us our bill. Once we got that then we waited and waited some more for him to go back and forth another dozen times past us before I finally held up the bill booklet with my debit card in it just to get his attention so he 'd take it and we could finally get OUT of that place. Getting our final bill we see they also tacked on... you got it! another FEE for using a card. About $1 We did not leave a tip, between our entry wait time, food wait time and bil/exit wait time I 'd say that was roughly 3x the time we even spent actually even eating. I do NOT reccomend this place. I don 't even feel our meals were worth the $30 paid. My thought is they are struggling and about to go under. The place is older, seats all worn out and lost bottom support, menus very worn and aged and atmosphere attire just so jalapodated it 's sorry!

I had not been to Ayutla's in about 12 years. Still a wonderful little Mexican family restaurant. The fajita pollo was the best I've ever had. Jorge was super friendly and allowed me to practice my Spanish with him. Highly recommended when passing through Goldendale.

They have a couple weird fees they tack on that adds 3.25 onto the menu prices and then the final bill was hire than the bill when I gave them my CC. Confusing.

Vegetarian options: Standard vegetarian Mexican food; cheese enchiladas, bean burritos, etc.

Fun place. Great staff. Fill up on my favorite, Mexican Food!
