It is Very Very Sad, that we have to write this review but if we didn’t it would not be fair to you, our reader.  This is the Second Restaurant so far on Staten Island, that has made the (DO NOT ENTER) List.  We have ended up at this place due to a “Grand Openings” next door of a African Restaurant called “Mai” and I was hungry for some “Tex-Mex” and it stumbled upon right in front of me.  I must say I was glad I entered… Better Me then You? 

How the One Star came about:  I have pleasantly walked in and picked up a menu to look at and see what they have, The lady who is supposed to take my order yells “WATCHA WANT?”   Me being the undecisive person that I am, I politely ask her which of the lunch specials she can suggest, the Steak and Guacamole or the Steak and Chicken (All served for about 6.10 with can of soda, Including Tax), The reply I get is a very nasty “BOT GOO!”.  I am guessing that is supposed to mean “Both Good”???  ***(I am truthfully not trying to pick at people’s accents, but the attitude was so Nasty that the words sounded worse then they should.  Maybe next time I will carry a Tape Recorder to actually let you hear how this sounded?)*** 

OK anyways onto the Review:

Food: I have decided to go with the Steak and Guacamole, and as many of you already know I do like Spicy Stuff and enjoy “Hot Sauce” with my meal.  after the service already being horrible the way it is, I have asked “You have some Hot Sauce, Please”,  The reply I get is “OVE-DA” (Probably short for: Over There?).  Me being all Happy and Joly about to get my hot sauce, I almost pick up the bottle until I realize all the Crust all over it.  I just walk over to my seat until I remembered that I am now a “Restaurant Food Critic” and I should let everyone see what is going on.  I get a napkin and bring the Sauce back to the table so I can take photos of it: (Please see for yourself).  It is actually kind of embarassing to put the “WhereYouEat.com” logo on top of the photo, but I probably would be more embarrassed to even have that out on display for the customers to see.

The rest of the Meal: The food was nothing special, I had much better Tex-Mex style food on other parts of the Island.  It was your Bland meal which definitely should remove the “Fresh” out of the restaurant name.  It was prepared in about 1 Minute after I ordered (Very Serious).  Although it was a Decent size portion, I would never recommend this place to anybody, Especially this part of the Island having so many other Restaurants (Especially the new: Mai, Offering something different: African Cuisine).

The Closing: Amazingly Nasty Service, Horrible treating of Customers, Disgusting presentation of Sauce.
