Terrible Service High Prices HOW DO THEY STAY IN BUSINESS!!!

by bonniewalks at Citysearch

Every time I call I am on hold forever or they just don't pick up. When you do finally get some slacker on the line they act like they could care less about your patronage and often get the orders wrong. It's a shame because the chef's are doing a great job in the kitchen but the staff and management could use a huge face lift. Would not recommend this place it seems like a lot of work for a meal and it's expensive as all get out!!!

• Pros: Good food
• Cons: Too much drama to deal with

No Place for Betty & Veronica from Fort Greene

by Bettycruzroman at Citysearch

First the good news. The restaurant is tastefully decorated and the drinks were good. But...No place for Betty & Veronica :( My mom lives in Fort Green Brooklyn where I grew up. This past weekend while I was driving around with mom we came across Mojitos on Washington Ave. We were so excited to see a Cuban food restaurant in the neighborhood. Being Puerto Rican we can certainly identify with Cuban food and we certainly know good spanish food when we eat it. When I came home I looked up the reviews on the internet and they were not favorable, but I still wanted to give the restaurant the benefit of the doubt until I tried for myself. Well my sister Veronica just came in from Virginia Beach to visit with my mom and they telephoned me to let me know they tried the restaurant and the food was terrible - (they did say the margarita & mojito drinks they had were good). Unfortunately I hadn't told them about the unfavorable reviews in time to prevent them from going. Latinos are used to large portions being served on our plates - The portions were small...we say only big enough to fill a cavity (that's not a good thing). In my excitement on coming across this restaurant I also telephoned my sister Wilma in New Jersey to tell her about Mojitos. I have to save her. I had really wished their restaurant would satisfy us since we do need a good spanish food restaurant in downtown Brooklyn - However mediocre is not ok, it has to be a GOOD spanish restaurant.

Too Bad Soo Sad

• Pros: Good Drinks

Cuban Restaurant in Brooklyn

by Victoria6682 at Citysearch

My boyfriend and I live in Ft. Greene and he is Cuban so we were excited about a Cuban restaurant. The food is awesome, the ropa vieja is ridiculously good. The thing is, every time we order, something goes wrong. The first time, we got the wrong food, then called and they sent the right food right away. OK. Fine. The next time, I paid by credit card over the phone and he told me 20 minutes. Well, 40 minutes later I call to check on my delivery and he told me it's ready, we have been waiting for you to pick it up. Why would I pay by phone for pick up? Like I said, the food is really good, but I hope they get the service part together.
