Next time I'll head over to Queens

by Rick21

Even though NYC is NOT known for great Mexican cuisine, this place has some of the worst Mexican food in the city. On top of that, you would be pressed to find Mexican cuisine that was more overpriced. There are MUCH better Mexican restaurants in Queens, but if you don't feel like making the trek, and/or you're just determined to give away money, you might be better off going to Dos Caminos. The food & service are much better.

• Pros: Decor
• Cons: VERY poor service, overpriced, and barely average food.

Terrible service and they tried to scam us on the bill

by colcircle2007

The food here is good and the place in my neighborhood, so I've been a few times. It's never been great service, but this last time was really over the top. First of all, it took us 35 minutes to get a menu and drink orders in after we were seated. Then, after several mistakes (the appetizer never came so we had to cancel it, they brought me the wrong drink twice, etc), we finally had our meal.

When the bill came, we found out that the tried to charge us for the appetizer they forgot to bring out!!! When we asked them about it, the waiter was rude and acted annoyed that we were asking him to correct the bill- guess they try to trick a lot of people, so look at your bill carefully folks.

Finally, after all that, and after ordering over a $100 worth of food for two people (2 rounds drinks, dinner, dessert, coffee), we were sitting there drinking our coffee and the hostess came up to us and said, "Do you guys mind moving to another table if you're going to linger here? I need to move you to make room for another party" WTF????

It will be a LONG time before I go back here - I'm a mex food lover and there are so many other more courteous places with better mex food to go to - try maz mescal, arriba arriba, or ta cocina.

• Pros: food is decent
• Cons: Ridiculously bad service, rude hostess, language barriers

Laughable service

by abbykaz

After sitting at our table for 30 mins. waiting for someone to at least take our drink order, it was only after I asked the hostess for a waiter (this was after we had asked one of the other waiters to get our waiter) did we see our waiter. When our drinks arrived one was wrong, it took an other 30 mins. to get that drink. We were really looking forward to desert but, we were ignored again. No one come during our meal to see if we wanted more drinks or even water. We asked for a manager who lamely apologized and sent us three shots of tequila (which we had no desire for) we then got the check. In hind sight we should have left without paying the check, no one would have noticed!

• Pros: really good food
• Cons: Service is horrible
