January 17 2009 I had the worst experienc a Joya! I will continue to boycott this place until it is closed indefinitly. Just because your prices are dirt cheap and your food is okay does not give the owner and his wife I mean his HUSBAND the right to to ego trip and be nasty. One day they will eat humble pie, trust me. I have never been treated with soooo much disrespect b4 in my LIFE. My friends and I ordered $68 worth of food and drinks. We were told to move it to the bar to drink and give up our table or get the f--k out. Those were the owners words, no exaggeration. We just finished our meal and declined for dessert and ordered more drinks. Two minutes later the waiter came back and said we had to leave the table and go to the bar. I refused and the owner came over yelling move it or or pay your bill and get the f--k out. It got pretty ugly and I was indisbelief of the words being exchanged. His wife, I mean husband had the nerve to jump in. I asked who are you and he yelled "" Im his husband and we have two restaraunts and a baby you lesbian!"" I am not a lesbian and neither are my friends. On our way out the owner was in my way and I accidently stepped on his foot and he threatened to sl-p me. I wasnt sure what he said at first so I asked him to repeat what he said and he yelled ""you lucky i didnt sl-p you for that!"" SO DISTASTEFUL! The drama was intense and all Ms Thang needed was an audience because he kept yelling insults. I would rather starve and eat dog food than go back to that place again!! We left and went to BBQs and turned a ugly experience into a joyful one because after a couple of drinks and a recap of what just happened we had a goood laugh at those two characters. All I can say is NEVER again!
Pros: food cool, had better , bartender Bobby is great
Cons: owners have huge false ego, too crowded for tiny space
