Horrible Experience

by ShrimpieMcShrimp

I have never left an establisment feeling so gross. I was so full of grease that sank to the bottom of my stomach like a rock. Then, 3 hours later i was violently hurling up everthing i ate. Dont ever eat here the drnks are expensive and weak and you will literally hurl up your guts.

Never found a worse restaurant

by hamishseattle

Stunningly bad. I'm a Seattle local, and I know we don't have great mexican food. But this was a new low for 'bad'. There were two tables occupied - first bad sign. But we were hungry and ready.

The salsa was a red water. The nachos were straight from the dorm room. Pile of chips. Scattering of fried ground beef. Masses of crappy cheese. Microwave. Everything soggy. Toss a few chunks of tomato and onion on top. No olives, beans... shoot... anything. It was soggy chips with oily cheese. I couldn't believe this was "super nacho".

Main courses were just mounds of cheese and tomato sauce on top of ... something not exactly hot or cold.

But the best part was that even though we were one of three tables occupied, we couldn't get anything. Beer, salsa, a bill. Nothing. We had to get up and go find someone for each thing we needed. This was 7:30 pm. I never ever ever leave nothing for a tip. Except tonight.

On the Harbor Steps there's a Guaymas. I've never been there, but it simply can't be this bad. Try it.

  • Pros: There's an exit door
  • Cons: There's an entrance door

Authentic Mexican but Expensive Margaritas

by onlyislandlady

Good food. Authentic Mexican dishes. Good service. Margaritas were expensive unless you get well drinks.

  • Pros: Good food and service
