I am from Southern California and am surprised to read that other reviewers from So Cal call this place authentic. It's about as authentic as you can get in this area, but I would not call it truly authentic. I have visited this restaurant a few times simply because it's one of the few options for Mexican food in Williamsburg. It's not the best, it's not the worst. If this restaurant was located in San Diego, nothing would stand out about it that would bring me back as a repeated customer. One thing that did attract me originally is that they serve Horchata, which many restaurants do not. When Horchata is made from scratch and is fresh, it's an absolutely delicious drink. However, I could tell right away the horchata at this restaurant is made from concentrated powder and is more commercialized. During my last visit I placed an order to go for my family and ordered an Horchata for my kids. When I got home, I divided the horchata (it's a pretty big to-go cup) between two of my kids. I have those old fashioned milk bottles that you can find everywhere now. My kids love them since they have a lid and straw. When I poured the horchata and closed the lid, I realized there was a fly floating in the drink. We could see it right through the glass. I called the restaurant to let them know what I found, since that is a health concern. An older gentleman answered the phone and I explained what happened. He said, "Oh just a minute. I'll get someone else to help you." I then heard him tell a woman that seemed to be next to him what happened. He said, "She said she found a fly in her drink." Then she asked him, "Was the fly in the drink before or after she got home?"...and they started laughing. This couple appeared to be locals and spoke fluent English. I thought at first they might be the owners or managers, but then I was confused when they passed the phone to someone else. If they were managers/owners I'm sure they would have handled this themselves, or at least you'd think they would. I could hear them speaking to two other employees, and I could hear those two employees speaking Spanish. I'm fluent in Spanish so I understood every word they said. The male told a female what happened and she said, "She can bring it back." The male asked, "bring the drink back?" and she said "Tell her to bring it here." The way she said it though was as if she didn't believe me and she was "daring" me to bring it back to the restaurant. She didn't seem as if she had one ounce of concern. This is what bothered me the most about this whole thing. So much, that it prompted me to write a yelp review for my first time. It was as if she thought I was trying to pull one over on them, to get free food or something. Finally, the 2nd gentleman that had been speaking Spanish got on the phone and he was very nice and apologetic. However, I really bit my tongue because that other lady really upset me with her attitude. The man on the phone apologized profusely and told me they'd be happy to replace my drink. However, that would be a 20 minute drive and I didn't trust that my next drink wouldn't come out of the same dispenser my first drink came from. I told him I appreciated that, but didn't want to drive out there just for a drink, and I just wanted to report what I found since it is not hygienic. I think at the very least, they could have offered to refund my drink, but they didn't. Hearing the first couple laugh and joke about the incident and the other rude lady, left a really bad taste in my mouth...so I decided I will never return to this restaurant again. read more
