Great brunch

by laura14

I haven't eaten dinner here, but brunch on the weekends is amazing. It's 9 bucks for brunch which includes a margarita, pina colada, sangria, or scredriver - PLUS for $3 extra, you get unlimited champagne. Awesome deal, plus they keep your glasses filled, and the huevos rancheros were Really good. Waiter was super nice, especially considering I went there with lushes who downed many many glasses of the champagne, and they had no attitude at all about it. Definitely recommended.

• Pros: great brunch

Best Mexican Food Ever

by austin22

I have lived in Chelsea for 25 years and have seen lots or places come and go. The Blue Moon is always great. The food is absolutely delicious and fresh. I love the giant worldwide burritos. There is so much food I am always full. Their margaritas are amazing and made unlike any other place, they are very special. The staff is always friendly and warm and you feel like you are walking into a friend's house not a restaurant when you come in. I just recently discovered their happy hour and for $5 you can get two beers and free nachos - someone pinch me in case i am dreaming!!!! I have read over some of the other reviews and let me tell you, if you have a bad experience at the Blue Moon, it is all you baby, cause the restaurant is great.

• Pros: great food, drinks, staff - warm, friendly place

the food was disgusting

by hollandstuff

This is my first time posting a review on Citysearch. Normally, nothing affects me enough to put in the effort....until a few nights ago. My husband and I eat Mexican food at least a couple of times a week and we always like to try different places. We went to Blue Moon and we will NEVER go back.

The first problem was that the air conditioner was not working - we should have left then. But we were excited to have our margaritas on that hot summer evening. They were just badly made. We asked to trade our frozen margaritas for on the rocks, but they were no good either. They had no taste, like bland watered down lemonade. Dissapointed, we decided just to switch to bottled beer.

We both ordered enchiladas which is one of our favorite mexican meals to get. It was absolutely disgusting. After about 1 minute the cheese on my enchilada got hard. The chicken was so dry that I couldn't bear to swallow more than 2 mouthfuls. My husband said his chicken tasted like very dry turkey?!? I decided just to eat the rice & beans b/c how can you get rice & beans wrong??? The black beans were so watery and the rice so dry. I just had this gut instinct that this meal had been made in a microwave. I called the waiter over to take away my plate b/c I was getting nauseous just having the plate in front of me.

I just have to say that I have sent food back just ONE other time in my life, maybe 8 years ago - I am not that picky. That may tell you how terrible this food was.

We didn't complain too much to the waiter b/c it was obviously not his fault. We just decided to finish our beers and write it off as a learning experience. I do have to end this by saying the wait staff was absolutely perfect and very nice. Our waiter ended up taking the meals off our bill - honestly, he was so quick not to charge us for the food that it almost felt like it was something he has to do often.......
