    We were ready for a change from Austrian/ Swiss food and…read morewere attracted by cheeseburgers and Tex-Mex. Disappointing. The restaurant was nearly empty and they tried to sit us in a a two-seater so crammed in to the next one, we had to ask to be reseated. The second one was only slightly better. I ordered pulled pork tacos, which came with fries, and my husband ordered the cheeseburger and fries. He deemed the burger mediocre and enjoyed the fries. My three pork tacos looked great. The flour soft shells were fresh, the pulled pork was tasty but COLD. I had a glass of decent Pino Grigio. My husband had tap water. Our waiter never came back to check on us. We walked up to the bar to ask for our bill. The guys said, Thanks, have a good day." I said, "We need to pay." Our bill was $60!" Suffice it to say we were disappointed. Don't bother!

    Laughably bad food to be found within this knockoff Chilis/Applebees. The theme here however is…read moreAmerican cinema, although you'd only realize that if you went to the restroom or bar downstairs and descended the movie star stairs. Full of framed photos with the likes of the Three Stooges, Marx Brothers, young Mel Gibson (with a splash of mustard up his nose making it look like a big booger), and a ton of other yellowing photos which are clearly from a kit purchased in the 80's. My cheeseburger came with old bay seasoned fries. Not a bad touch! The burger however was not seasoned and ridiculously overcooked to the point that Ronald McDonald would have given the chef an A+ for food safety. No germs or flavor could possibly have survived that level of heat exposure. A shame really as the decor is sort of comforting, the way your favorite old jeans are. It's a feel that most Americans would recognize from their childhoods, and it makes me wish they gave a shit about the food. Or perhaps that is part of the nostalgic American theme they have going? What really ruined it was that they charged us for tap water. Our waitress even went as far as letting it slip that it's at her discretion to charge or not. She admitted that had we ordered more food or alcohol, she would not have charged us....and she said this as if it made sense?! So to sum it up, we were penalized for not having bigger appetites or drinking problems. Their discriminatory policy in regards to charging for tap water alone are grounds alone for not going here. If that isn't enough, I would think the bad food should convince you.

    We have a family tradition to try Mexican food wherever we travel in the world, if possible, so…read morethis was our choice for Zurich. The restaurant was lovely inside - great decor, cozy, and excellent dim lighting. The cocktail menu was HUGE and varied. Lots of fun mixed drinks - would be a great place to go out with friends. The outdoor patio had great lights and a fun vibe too. On a Monday evening it was not too crowded so we didn't need a reservation. My kids and I were seated quickly. Based on recos here, I ordered the nachos and they were the best thing we had. They were stingy on the cheese, but the beans and guacamole were great. Salsa was not spicy at all, though :( The chips had a great texture. My kids ordered the chicken burrito and were disappointed, because it comes packed with vegetables inside and was not really spiced with Mexican flavors. I tried it and liked it, but it wasn't exactly authentic. (Which is fine, this is why we like to try Mexican food in other places!) One burrito was plenty for them to share, though the amount of chicken was less than I expected for the size of the burrito. Prices were in line with other places we've eaten in Zurich. Our waitress spoke mostly German so we muddled through our interactions but she was very kind and understanding :) The cocktails seemed very expensive, but I think that's typical. Nice atmosphere, OK food.

    Bland, bland and bland...no spices or habernos....$$$ Not Mexican, just call it Swiss Mex!!read more
