Friends invited my wife and I out to El Mezquite over the weekend, so we gave them a shot. First off, did not realize until we got there that the place in inside of a hotel, so that was an interesting discovery. We were sat immediately, given menus, had our order taken & food brought to us in a timely fashion. My wife ordered chile relleno while I ordered tacos de diablas - three tacos with steak, chorizo, and a spicy red sauce. Most of my party was happy with their food. Mine was fine, although the meat was a bit rubbery and the red sauce wasn't very spicy, but I suppose my problem with El Mezquite is the same as most of the Mexican restaurants in the same area - I'm convinced they all just order the exact same stuff from the same place. El Mezquite's menu is the exact same as most other Mexican restaurants in the area, same offerings, even the rice tastes exactly the same in all these places, so I'm becoming less and less convinced there's any authenticity for most of the places in CNY. That said, the food was fine, our service was fine as well, but I don't believe we'd return for the simple fact that we can find the exact same dishes at other, closer establishments.

If you just get everything when ordering a rice bowl, they basically cant even close the lid and the food easily lasts for more than one meal or for two people.

They will always do the line first in person no matter the order of when the online order was placed it seems.

It was tender, not spicy but flavorful, and the coleslaw topping was refreshing (I don't like Pico de Gallo, I know, I'm a bad Californian that is also allergic to avocado xD). And they had Valentina black label for me to pour on, so no complaints here. The tacos are a pair of corn soft tacos jam packed with meat. The amount of pork you get alone is worth the price, the great quality just adds to it... but finding them open seems to be a little hard as my boyfriend has been raving about them for a month with little less clear of catching them open, But we found them open during Harborfest, which was a tasty and fun end to a fun day.

He spent 12 years in the casino Industry, then in 2014, started his first juice bar/acai bowl business Pure Raw Juice while living in Baltimore in 2014. He started two other restaurants in Delaware called Daily Veg before moving back top CNY and starting Whacko Gringo as a take out only restaurant serving out of a trailer. Whacko Gringo serves Mexican fair with a twist and acai bowls, and now has a full storefront which includes outdoor seating. Wife and I had passed by Whacko Gringo several times when they were in the trailer. We had always wanted to try it, the menu looked interesting and tasty, but it just didn't work out for one reason or another. They eventually got their storefront and we decided one day we were going to get out there and try them. We walked in pretty early on a Saturday, no one else in the restaurant. Just a couple small tables inside and a couple outside. I ordered the chimichurri beef tacos with rice and black beans, and my wife ordered a burrito bowl and a side of fresh pico and chips. Food seemed to take a while to be made, but it seemed like there were only 2 employees there. Employees were fine for the most part, but pretty indifferent to us being there. When we did get it, we were definitely disappointed. The meat in my tacos had good flavor, but other than that, everything was extremely bland, and my wife felt the same about hers. The pickled veggies, rice, beans, pico had no flavor, we mostly loaded them with hot sauce for some flavor. No salt on the chips, just a disappointing meal. We had high hopes and planned to go back to try more offerings, but we'd probably skip a return trip now.

We've all eaten our fair share of Baja California tacos, Mexican street food and everything was delicious. The steak in the steak elote tacos were tender, juicy, and the elote was spot on: sweet corn, tajin, cotija cheese, sour cream, mayo). The smoked park carnitas were out of this world. Tender, juicy, and great flavor. The chimichurri beef were my dad's favorite, but my mom and I liked the carnitas best and the steak came a close second. The rice and black beans both sadly lacked flavor, however we'd only ordered one portion and it was ample. The in-house fried tortilla chips were great; their seasoning was tasty (a little more salt would've knocked them out of the park) but they were perfectly crisp and crunchy. The dips were all perfect; the pico and guac were so fresh and delicious and the queso was tasty too. The tacos were all generously stuffed. We actually had far more food than we needed, which is not a criticism; it demonstrates how reasonably priced everything is. The establishment itself is well located and has lots of parking and outside seating. Very cute place, too, with a small inside dining area and bar. Wednesdays are $5 margaritas and tacos for dining in. Fantastic deal. Their smoothie bowls sound delicious as did all their other fare. This will be a new family favorite place to eat. So happy to see such delicious tacos in Oswego.

The chicken tacos were topped in ice cold Coby Jack cheese and the chicken itself didn't have even the slightest flavor -- not even any trace of salt or pepper.

What was evermore frustrating is that the waitress greeted us but telling us that nearly half the menu was unavailable, that they couldn't blend a margarita, and several other illogical restrictions or lacking in basic availabilities. Even if this is (allegedly) the best there is around Watertown, it's still not worth it -- AT ALL.

Last summer, the dining room was so hot that people took their dishes outdoor to the picnic tables to eat. Tres Primos has good food and lots of it so it's often very crowded at dinner time. We were fortunate to have come for an early dinner and were the only diners on a snowy day. Service is with a smile and the people that work here seem to enjoy each other's company and enjoy serving customers. The tables and chairs are the best, colorful with beautiful depictions of Mexico. For whatever you order, be prepared to have it served on a platter that's fit for a king, or in my case queen. Food is good and fresh. There is plenty to drink, including a variety of beers and cocktails . There's nothing like drinking a corona to top off a Mexican meal. I ordered what is really a sampler plate with a little bit of everything. I had a Chalupa, a quesadilla, tacos, and a member of other things. Of course, this comes complete with rice and beans. Needless to say, I had a second meal with the leftovers the following night. P.S., they have very good salsa that is served as soon as you were seated with your chips. Don't be afraid to ask for a refill.
