Cinco De Mayo

The service was very sweet and the waitresses very attentive (we were the only ones in there).  I was saddened that their liquor license was still pending because I was so hoping for a pitcher of Sangria. The food was just ok...nothing I would write home about. The presentation was beautiful but It was flavorless for authentic Mexican food. My 9 year old didn't care for the tacos. She said the meat was too hard. My husbands chicken and salsa verde bland. My shrimp was yummy...but how can you mess up shrimp with peppers and onions? :( We most likely won't go back again.

What authentic Mexican place serves burritos with a slice of American cheese across the top?  I admit I chose take out over dine in and I would have said something had I known. Overall I was fairly unimpressed and likely won't be back again. That's rough considering I live about 8 seconds from this place.

Forget the authentic argument; as a white guy from central LI, if it tastes good and I don't feel like garbage afterwards, it's good food. Their tostada (sans beef for $10.86 to go) was the real deal, a fresh, clean, well-portioned meal; unfortunately, even following positive reviews by the Times and Newsday, the big space was dead during the dinner rush on a nice Thursday. The location is kind of awkward (across from the FedEx center) and would do very well with a large al fresco space for the drinking crowd, but the food did the trick on my visit.
