So we tried Coronas tonight because we were at the movie theater out in Webster and although the reviews were a mixed bag the menu matches a place my wife is familiar with in Batavia and said they she always loved it there and would go there every day if she could.
This turns out to be run by a very different group of people than the one in Batavia lol.
So the woman who greeted us and sat us was also our waitress and she's probably the most miserable server I've ever had. She does not smile, she does not do anything, that could be in any way considered friendly or welcoming. She has RBF. It was truly one of the worst server experiences I've ever had. She forgot parts of the order, had to be reminded of or asked for things several times to get them, It was just bad across the board.
Now the ambience of the place its pretty okay up front. It is kind of weird that there's no front desk or server station, it's just like tables and booths and then the door to the kitchen so that was kind of weird. Very colorful though! When you go back towards the bathrooms, which are in the very back of the store, all the decor is still five guys stuff. The bathrooms were disgustingly dirty and sticky... There's a buss cart parked in the hallway to the back next to a 5 gallon pail filled with stale water with sharp knives and other cutlery poking up out of it. The height of cleanliness right there!
Okay so miserable employee And unhygienic restaurant with a weird setup. That's what we're starting with.
On to the food! We ordered some nachos, We ordered a chicken dish which was chicken with some kind of sauce and onions and peppers. Lastly we got a side of 3 enchiladas.
The three enchiladas were were fine, they came with a red sauce on them. Nothing groundbreaking but they were perfectly fine enchiladas.
Unfortunately the nachos and the chicken dish could not keep this trend going.
So for some reason the chicken dish came out before our appetizer... With no explanation from the most miserable waitress in the world... They came with two tortillas but no rice or beans at 18 bucks there was maybe 5 oz of chicken? There were two incredibly thin pieces of chicken breast like millimeters thin. It was horribly oversalted but it was okay besides all of that lol.
Last up were the nachos which were very generous in size with a lot of ground beef and pulled chicken. There's a lot of lettuce on them but very little cheese there was some mystery watery something at the bottom of the plate they were served on, I don't know if this was supposed to be a cheese sauce of some kind or just moisture from the lettuce draining down through the chips? There was also approximately one and a half tablespoons of sour cream and 1 and 1/2 tbsp of guacamole on top with a single half slice of tomato?! The guac and sour cream proportions to the amount of nachos and meat were so far off it's not even funny.
Oh I almost did forget We did get dessert as well, mainly because seeing the dessert is what prompted us to go to the restaurant so we got the fried ice cream. It comes in a fried tortilla bowl that's been tossed in cinnamon and sugar and that part was delicious. That tortilla and the ice cream is served on a plate, have you ever tried to eat a Sunday off of warm plate? Probably not cuz it's a really bad idea lol. The corn flakes used to bread the ice cream before they fried it are probably the oldest corn flakes I've ever consumed they were so far beyond stale that I I can't even imagine when they were originally purchased. The ice cream itself was incredibly hard and pretty much had to be cut with a knife which I understand you want really cold ice cream before you batter it and toss it in cornflakes and fry it but some tweaking needs to be done here..
So we get the bill for $68 and the server circled the section of suggested tips in pen which started at 18%, which is beyond laughable for the service that we got.
There's a lot here that could be tweaked to make this place great. If the server had been friendly and welcoming it would have been a thousand percent better right off the go. The food also obviously need some tweaking. I can't really recommend you go to this restaurant for any reason under the current circumstances. read more
