    This is my least favorite restaurant I have ever been to in New York. So loud you cant have a conversation. Rude wait staff. Not worth it. Got sick after eating here.

    Ok food but overpriced and the service is rude. There's a speakeasy in the back.

    The server with the "Sexico" T-shirt tried to short change me $10. When confronted, she knew her game was up and had a ten dollar bill ready to give me. Be careful.

    Seriously, get the corn. If you don't like it, I'll pay you back. And then talk shit about you behind your back.
