Long wait for average food

21 Apr 08, 13:54 Below expectations

Every time I've been here the experience has always been different. The first time I ate there the service was brilliant but every time after it's only been average and sometimes quite poor.

I haven't had to wait for a table but the service to order and time waiting for the food to be brought to the table, cleared away, etc. has always (bar my first visit) been far too long to wait. Even when the restaurant has been quiet mid-week for lunch I've had to wait a really long time for food.

I also find that the food is never consistent - sometimes it is ok and sometimes it is bad. By bad I mean burnt or very cold or oily. Because I never know what kind of meal I will get here I don't go here anymore except when invited by friends and even then I usually try to excuse myself.

Excellent food and service

We arrived on the hoof so were quite happy to be told to wait in the bar. We were given a pager to alert us when the ten minute wait was up. The music was not to loud and very large TV's were turned onto the football so we were quite happy. What looked like an excellent selection of drinks were behind the bar. We suped on Corona beer with a lime in it as we waited. After 45 minutes we were called to our table which was rather longer than we expected but within are time limites.

We served straightaway at are table. We ordered Nachos which were excellent. Potato skins with cheese in them which were ok but without the bacon we ordered. Sizzling fajita arrved soon after we had finished our starters and were excellent if a bit short of meat.

We had pecan pie for desert which was also very good all washed down with another Corona beer. The damage can in at £68 so happy with the service we left £80 so the waiter and girl clearing up were well looked after.

Well recommened by us is Chiquito this restrauant will put a smile on your face.

Charcoal Wings

Forget about the Buffalo wings, we have been waiting for 45 mins just for the Blxxdy Buffalo wings with BBQ sauce. When the waiter put down the wings, all i could see was just 8 lumps of charcoal. I tried to had one, but the taste of Carbon puts me off, and had to ask the waiter to get another one for us.

Then we waited for a further 15 minutes, and it came in with a pool of BBQ sauce.

I was so confused.

This place is so busy that its messed up.

A large Mexican bar and restaurant on the eastern side of Leicester Square. As you could imagine lots of tourists due to the location but it is OK if you fancy Mexican. Lively atmosphere with families, groups and couples enjoying the food and drink - some more than others. Last time we where here we where next to a group worse for drink and the language was not that polite. It's not a posh place and the price for the area isn't high so its not such a surprise and all day drinking trip might end up here. It is usually busy but they give you a buzzer to take to the bar which goes off when a table is free. I like this, it is an efficient touch and makes waiting stress free. The usual selection of Mexican food is fine, nothing amazing but very nice. The mixed platter is an economical starter and has a nice range of nibbles including chicken wings, corn on the cob and the like.
