We went out on a date with our friends, the Hawkins, and decided to go to this quaint Mexican restaurant on the water near Univerity Village in Seattle. Dan and Chase had been given a GREAT review about this place from a guy at work… Well, as we pulled up – it wasn’t much to look at, but we were still excited. It looked like a place that locals go – so we hoped it would be great!
We were seated in the patio area. It wasn’t an open patio, it had a roof and it was covered with a canvas side with zipper windows. Well in EVERY corner and all along ceiling where the patio awning touched the canvas side was COVERED in spider webs with tons of spiders ACTIVELY moving, spinning their webs, catching bugs, etc. It was a little creepy and disturbing. Dan got the unpleasant task of sitting directly underneath them with his back to the wall. We had just ordered our drinks and a spider fell onto our table. As well as some bug remnants from the other spiders eating above. YUCK!!! Chase took pity on Dan and went to ask the hostess if we could change tables. While he was gone, another large spider came down on one strand of its web all the way to the floor and then zipped right back up, just a few inches from Dan’s back!
They let us move tables, but I think we were the only ones EVER to ask to move tables by the way they reacted. Inside was a bit better, but there were a few spiders on the walls and ceilings their too – but at least they were a bit further away from us.
Then our dinners came out. Mine was pretty safe – I ordered a chicken burrito – it was okay. Not great, but edible. Then Dan and Ali took a bite of theirs (they ordered the same thing – 3 Enchilada plate – Chicken, Shrimp, Cheese). The shrimp wasn’t shrimp, but a unidentifiable fish-like substance. The Chicken was somewhat edible but smelled like gym socks. And the Cheese Enchilada was made entirely from Cotija cheese. Which Dan normally likes, BUT the entire inside was a chunk of Cotija cheese which wasn’t melted – just a huge rectangle chunk. Then the sauce that was on top was a vomit colored, vomit smelling sauce. It was absolutely repulsive!!! Poor Dan and Ali – their plates were all but inedible.
Another customer dropped a cup of salsa on the floor and the waiter told them “Don’t worry about it, leave it there”. 20 minutes later, it was still on the floor – no one had even bothered to touch it our clean it up…
WOW – is all we were thinking…. Never again!! The guy who recommended this place from their work is from England. Words of Wisdom: NEVER take advice on a good Mexican restaurant from a Brit! If I had only thought to take some pictures...
