"Visited here for the first time with my husband and his cousin who was visiting NY. It was one of the few places that had available tables on a Friday night and took reservations. When we arrived we had to wait a few minutes for them to clear our table and the entire restaurant was super crowded. They did have glass partitions between tables but considering COVID-19 is airborne, those would do very little in terms of protection. Thankfully, we?re fully vaccinated. Our server was a real gem. She was so sweet and attentive. We had to yell everything across the table because it was sooooo loud! Turning the music down 10% would have made it more comfortable. When the mariachi band played, as fun and enjoyable as it was, the combination of that plus the music raised the noise levels to about 110 decibels. Workers should get their hearing tested. The food was alright. Nothing too special. Tostones were hard as rocks! Shrimp tacos were dry, overcooked, and flavorless. Chicken fajitas were bland. I actually ate the sides that accompanied my husband?s main course and didn?t touch my tacos again after 1 bite. The highlight of the night were the drinks. God damn they make a mean margarita! I tried the Willy?s Panchos margaritas. It was sooo strong but so delicious. This is definitely the place to go if you want great tasting and well-priced cocktails but don?t care too much about getting food. Everyone says the other locations are more spacious, perhaps I?ll try those next time."

"Went on a Saturday evening and it was quite packed; a lively crowd with music playing in the background and baseball game on tv's. I ordered camarafongo (mofongo with shrimp) with a garlic sauce which I enjoyed for the most part. Wish there had been more sauce, but the plaintain with chicharron (pork) was the most enjoyable part of the dish; the plaintain was soft, great texture and very tasty. The dish contained only 6 shrimp and were not the really good jumbo shrimp which I would have preferred. They tasted rather bland, seeming a bit overcooked. I was disappointed that for the price of the dish, they did not offer some nice fresh bread and butter before the main course arrived. For hand towels, there were just regular napkins; no hand sanitizers were offered for wiping your hands after eating a meal you have to partially use your hands and fingers for. The decor of the place definitely could use a revamping; there are old unattractive pieces of art on the walls that do nothing at all to lift up the ambience of the place and the lighting is old and outdated as well. I was surprised because they seem to do good business, but it seems as if these features are not important at all. I was even more surprised when I had to go downstairs to use the ladies restroom and the hand soap was in a large plastic 1 gallon bottle with a dispenser! The bottle looked like the container the soap actually came in when purchased. Not sure if having attractive looking soap dispensers might be an invitation for someone to want to take it home with them? Lastly, I ordered a tiramisu for dessert which I decided to take home with me. I must say I definitely enjoyed the dessert and was glad I decided to order it as we were waiting for the bill. I might consider going again, but would probably try something different. Even though the quality of the food is what counts, it would be nice if they had a facelift done to their place!"
