Lobster was bland as if overcooked. The green sauce was tasteless. Fortunately, it was not overly expensive. Also, the green beans with garlic that came with the lobster were good, as was the red sangria

In October 2003, I visited this restaurant with a few of my friends. They knew the owner of the restaurant very well because they had eaten there many times before. Perhaps, this why the food was so good, back then. On St. Patrick's Day of this year, me and my beau visited the restaurant. The biggest mistake made was being the first diners for the evening. I know that most restaurants will serve their first patrons the food that did not sell from the night before and I was was absolutely correct in my assumption. I asked for steamed lobster. When the lobster arrived, it was cold and it was not steamed, it was broiled. When I complained, I was told that the kitchen was downstairs and it cooled off by the time I was served. That's a crock of baloney. Lobster happens to be my favorite seafood and I always order it steamed. The lobster I was served was broiled indicated by the black char marks on the gills. The drawn butter was not butter at all, it was oil. It is the same oil that is used at the movie theater "buttered" popcorn. Melted butter when left out, will become solid. Needless to say, I was extremely disappointed in my meal and for the amount of money that was spent, I will not go back again. This was the worst dining experience I've had and I will not go back.

finally went last night... excellent lobster, both steamed and broiled. great apps, great steak. menu will cater to meat eaters and seafood lovers b/c of a huge selection. quality lobster was well priced. service was FAST and attentive! quickly after being seated, we were served a huge bowl of complimentary salad (quickly refilled as well), apps, drinks, meals, dessert- all great and arrived exactly as ordered all well timed. atmosphere- not fancy, but good, comfy old ny feel. can't wait to go back!

So I have to say I went here for the first time two weeks ago for my wife birthday. I was pleasantly surprised to see a tast of old New York. This place has great food and a good atmosphere. We had 3 lb lobsters at an excellent price. If you go you must try their flan its simply delicioso... I gotta say Francisco's made my wife happy and my wallet even happier.

I understand that some of the review say that the service is slow but what do you want when everything is cooked to order? The reviewers that say that the food was tasteless...it's not mexican food with a lot of hot spices. This is a very fine easy place to eat. It is LOUD but the food is great and very authentic. I grew up eating at this place and I love everyone that I have taken to this places comes back on their own. My picks are any of the rice dishes. I just wish they did delivery. Right now they only do take out. Oh, the portions are huge...share or ask for a doggie bag and enjoy the next day!

Wow, was this a disappointing dinner! My friend and I decided to splurge and celebrate the New Year on a lobster. We had heard this was the place to go...what a mistake! We started with shrimp in garlic sauce as an appetizer, which we've had many times at other Spanish restaurants...usually a garlic and oil base with shrimp, scampi style. This came out in a thick yellow, unappetizing sauce, which we promptly advised was not what we had expected and sent back. Okay, on to the lobster. The tail meat was completely mushy....not good at all. The claws weren't a lot better, but the mushiness of the tail actually made me nauseous so I wasn't really up for the rest of it at that point anyway. To charge $50 for a lobster that's mushy and tasteless is a crime. I won't ever go back.

We go at least 2x a year traveling downtown from Northern Westchester. We pre plan it so we go with at least 3 couples. Usually we try and make it a birthday or anniversary. We always order a pitcher or s2 of either the red or white sangria. Also we always order lobster. I don't know how anyone can say anything negative about this place. It's great!!!
