| - This place was recommended to us as being great. The only thing great was the interesting apparently costly "concept" interior design and maybe the service. The menu is small, that's ok, but 90-95% of it is all fried, so don't come here if you don't want grease. The concept design is that it has old rusty neon and ball lighted signs that appear to been salvaged from old Arizona. The chairs are 1960's heavy wooden and steel school chairs (hard to move) without the attached old fashioned desk top. I think I even saw a couple on 1970's grey steel folding chairs. Our old table looked like it had the green lead paint scraped off it. Since we arrived on a Sat at 4:00pm, and being practically the only couple there, our service was good. The grilled fish tacos say they are grilled, but they are pan fried in a flat pan. There were no "grill marks" or char grilled flavor on the fish. The guacamole was very good but for the pittance of the amount they give you for $9 is rude. The chips are refried and served wet of oil. The deep fried Camarones are more batter than shrimp and they even included the burned left over batter crispies from the oil basket. The tres leches cake was over cooked, dry, too high and so dense that it could not absorb any leches. Homemade Terrible! Margaritas we had were made with only lime juice and no mixer, nor simple sugar which is good! We had four each and were charged $156 pre-tax!!! Also, $12 for 2 tacos???!! If you are familiar with Mexican, you know Mercadito NYC offers 4 tacos for $14.50 and they are gourmet compared to this. The owner of this place who also owns 3 other similar TO locations must be raking in the money!! We will never go back.
