The worst restaurant in america

by Osotogari1976

This is my first review. Here goes.. The place could not look any worse than it does. Slower than standing still waitresses that bring over water after you've been there for 15 minutes. She lazily slopped it onto my table not paying any attention, spilling some in the process. It was 12 noon on sunday, we were the only people there the whole time and I noticed a sizeable chunk of rotted food tucked under the leg of the table. This could not have been there from today as they had just opened up.

The food- We ordered the chicken/guacamole burrito and a beef burrito. Same sharp as a marble waitress then proceeds to start windexing all the glass countertops. With a windex cloud fogging the joint up, the food arrives. Again dropped down on the table half sliding onto me. The beef burrito looked like Alpo canned. It was some beef stew thing. I aint seen food that rough since Fort Benning. The rice was disgusting and glowed some flourescent orange color. I was absolutely starving and really craving some mexican but I had to put it down. My chicken burrito was the worst I've ever eaten especially the soupy guac. Me and the wife got the check and bounced.

Bottom Line.

If you want a good budget mexican spot try FESTIVAL MEXICANA on rivington and essex. Or in the East Village check out Paquitos on 1st ave.

• Pros: open late for when you are wasted and don't want pizza or a hotdog
• Cons: Everything about the place stinks

A Place

by BobBarkerX

I think it was good. They had a real room - chairs, tables,etc. Food was there - the check was complete with food total and tax and stuff. Overall a real experience. I'd go again sometime in the future.

Amazingly bad.....

by gourmand23

This place has been here for ever and has a nice funky oldschool LES ambiance and friendly service. That said, the food has gone from cheap, greasy, but tasty tex-mex to really atrocious cheap, greasy, dominican tex-mex. Really some of the worst "Mexican" food I've ever had and I'm not the pickiest gordito....

• Pros: Atmosphere, Service
• Cons: Food

Good (and cheap) Mexican Food

by stellar_me

The service is great, everyone was friendly. I don't see why everyone says the food was bad...it wasn't the night my friends and I went (quesadilla was delicious). Not really a big, decorative place but definitely a place to go to enjoy good food and drinks with friends. Next time, I want to get a margarita to go!

• Pros: very friendly staff, good service
• Cons: not decorative/themed

The Worst Food Ever

by CRinBK

It is amazing that this place had a crowd and the food was so lousy...expensive too . Five of us ate there and nothing was good. The margaritas don't taste good and have almost no tequila in them. The rice and beans aren't even any good. The appetizers and meal were all bad nobody finished them

• Pros: Location
• Cons: Everything else
