Best summed up by giving my own answers to the survey questions: Q: Would you go back? A: Not if they paid me Q: Would you take a date? A: Great place to take a person that you never want to call you back Q: Would you take kids? A: If they were Hansel and Grettel Q: Would you go on a special occasion? A: Mother-in-Law's b-day!

No Bueno

  • No, I would not go back!

Not a horrible experience, but, on my continued quest for acceptable tex-mex or mexican food in brooklyn, I will not return to this place. And, by the way, the unlimited chips and salsa (which were mediocre, at best) are no longer unlimited; first one's free, $3 for a refill.

Some Hints:

  • The best reviews give a clear sense of why you liked or disliked a restaurant, bar, or store. And that means details. Mention specifics dishes, type of crowd, pros and cons...
  • If it's helpful to compare one place to another, go for it.
  • Come up with clever, funny, pithy subject lines, and write in the first person.
  • Don't forget to read the user rating guidelines and rules.
