My husband and I went to Secreto's with another couple for dinner a couple of weeks ago. We thought drink prices were high. We ordered chips and salsa to snack on and found out they charge for a very small portion of salsa. We all found it to be BLAND at best, and if you want more they also charge for refills. The waiter said they charge because "it is made fresh". WHAT? Many Mexican restaurants in the area make theirs fresh too....and they don't charge. My husband had enchiladas and he said they were good. I had the Chile rellenos and they were good, but our rice and beans that came with our dinners were tasteless.....I mean I could not detect on once of favor. My friend had the Green Chile stew...it also was so bad that we asked to speak to the manager. He disagreed with our opinion of the food. My friend was sick later that night and into the next day....I never ate at Richardson's, but the couple that was with us had, and they both said it was not anywhere near the standards of the original. Sorry but don't think we'll be back....too many "other" really good Mexican food places in the area. Very $$$$ for not very good food. Good luck with return business....I would fire the cooks and hire some really good cooks and throw out the recipes and start fresh with flavorful food....., but only if you want to be open in 6 months, if not carry on! The decor..pretty, but not practical. The fabric used on the booth seating is so hard to scoot across and so many pillows hard to get comfortable. Very high walls leaves you feeling all alone. Some may like, but others want to be in the mix.[sad][sad]

Was excited to here of a Richardson type eatery. Got there and decor was great, but freezing cold.
Waiter kept on telling us he did not know If the "had" or were"out" of various items...food was very good, but menu choices seemed limited. Nothing there that made me "die' to come back
