Be prepared to get more than what you order...
And not in a good way! I went out with several friends for a few drinks and dinner and we decided to start our night with a round of nachos and beer(best way to start any night). We ordered happy hour specials from the menu and were surprised when our waitress brought out a fifth drink for the four of us. We told her we hadn't ordered the fifth but she was insistent that she had heard us say we wanted it (we all were having beers) and refused to take it off of our ticket. Not only that but it was one of the more expensive drinks on the menu. After our inquiry there was mysteriously no manager to be found.
On another occasion in which I foolishly decided to go back, my overpriced "margarita" was nothing more than some blended ice chips with lime and silly straw. I know this is a common practice in Beijing but when it's followed by unremarkable food, it's not worth the frustration or money. Luga's is passable for Mexican, at least for anyone who salivates at the thought of Taco Bell, but it's no more special than that. Service at this Luga's and the Thai one upstairs has been notoriously bad with disappointing food to follow it up. If you're looking for really good Mexican food in Beijing with valuable drinks (the ones that you DO order) that aren't watered down, I suggest Peter's or Amigos. But don't settle for Luga's like I did, you'll be disappointed.
