In Short
A festive atmosphere and pitchers of frozen margaritas attract an after work and late night crowd, but the overstuffed, whimsically named burritos are the main draw. Marietta's Boom Boom Chili contains chunks of beef, carrots and beans; while the Harvest Moon burrito is a whole-wheat tortilla filled with broccoli, zucchini and yellow squash. All you can eat chips and salsa arrive with low-priced lunch discounts, and the bar features nightly drink specials.

Last night my friends and I went in and were treated so rudely by the staff (the bartender in particular) that we left before even trying the food!!! When the staff acts as if you're not wanted, and you live around the corner, there are definitely other places to go. They definitely need a staff overhaul.

A few tips Baby Bo's... first, dining tables aren't baby changing tables. I know it was early in the afternoon on Saturday and the restaurant was empty when I walked in to see if I could make reservations later in the evening, and they were probably owner's family or something, but come on -- use some common sense. Second, even if you "don't take reservations," there are certainly other ways to be somewhat accomodating to bring business to your establishment. Especially when you can guarantee a large tab. And there's no reason to be curt with me when all I'm trying to do is bring you business. I certainly wasn't rude to you. Also, I walked in the door to make reservations, which means I'm probably from the neighborhood and someone you would want as a repeat customer. If you don't want my business you did a good job of making sure you never get it. Remember, restaurants don't deserve my business... you need to earn it. Sometimes restaurants in Manhattan forget that, and from some of the other comments on here it seems that Baby Bo's sense of entitlement has gotten the best of them. Good service begets good recommendations. So, I suggest everyone go to Mexico Lindo on 26th and 2nd for examples of wonderful service, and enjoy the great food and atmosphere while you're there (that's where I eventually made reservations). They've apparently been around for 30 years... so they must be doing something right (take notes Baby Bo's).

I dined at Baby Bo's Last week to celebrate a birthday. It was my first time there but my friend's 5th. One of the waitresses and manager both were rude. After 1 hour, they kept asking for our table even though we had kept ordering food and drinks. They offered to move us to the bar for a free drink (no premium alcohol he said). We did not ask and certainly did not care not even for the free drink. It was the manner in which we were approached. Totally no class at all. Sure this is not the Four Seasons but patrons of any establishment should be respected. Our surf and turf appetizers arrived cold both times and the guacamole was so-so. The Pomegranate Margarita also was o.k. My friend said that the quality of food and drinks since her last visit 2 months ago has gone south and that maybe management had changed. The bathroom needs an overhaul (really). We will not go back.
