I have been craving Mexican food for ages now ... and there just wasn't a place near us in NY ... so tonight my mom, dad, David and I went out for Mexican food ... we were sure we were going to have to wait for a table so David and I smoked a cig while my mom went in to put our name down and my dad went to park the car ... only my mom instantly poked her head out and said ... 'they have a table right now so when your dad gets here put the cigs out and come inside' ... I looked at David and said 'that either means it is a really big place or a really bad place' ...


we went in ... sat down ... checked out the menu [for a Mexican restaurant they really had a very very small selection ... I mean I grew up in cali where Mexican restaurants there were like deli's in NY] ... we all decided what we were having and ordered ...


about 45 minutes later a runner came out with my mom's food ... and what she said was chicken fajitas [i ordered steak fajitas, dad ordered chicken and david ordered blackened chicken] ... so anyway the runner came out with my mom's tacos and what she said was chicken fajitas and beans and rice and placed it in front of my dad ... about 10 minutes later we saw our waitress and my dad stopped her and asked where the rest of our food was ... we needed to refresh her on what I got and what David got and she said she would be right back ... I asked if she could at least bring the tortillas for my dad's fajitas so he could start eating ... when she came back she asked again what David and I had ordered and informed us the fajitas they had brought out to the table were the blackened chicken ones ... but my dad had already started nibbling on the beans and rice ... and then she left again ...


about 10 minutes later she brought out the tortillas and hurried away from our table ... but at this point my mom was half way through her food ... the fajita were totally cold and David still didn't have beans or rice ... my dad saw the manager and asked him to come over where he explained the whole thing ... the waitress stopped by the table while he was telling the manager and he said ... please take this food that has been sitting here for 20 minutes and bring all our food out together while it is all hot ... which David was very happy about cause there was no way he was going to eat cold food ... especially fajitas ... I mean they come out smoking on a plate and his was starting to shrivel at this point ...


about 10 minutes later we received the three meals we were missing ... they refreshed our drinks and then it was like the Twilight Zone ... about every 5 minutes the waitress came by and said 'is everything alright' ... even after all the plates were taken away and we had our check ... she kept coming by saying that ... it was kinda weird ...


so needless to say that is probably our only time going to that restaurant ... I need to find a good authentic Mexican restaurant ... that has a huge selection and good service ... I sure wish I could go out to cali and eat at Mi Casa ... man that place was the bomb ... !!!
