Cosmic Cantina

We went to Cosmic Catalina because members of our party had been there previously and enjoyed the food. Unfortunately, though the food was good and our waitress was great, our party was subjected to very rude and belligerent treatment by the visibly intoxicated owner. When we arrived, we asked if we could join two tables together so that our party of seven could be more easily accomodated. Apparently the owner took grave offense to this as he was visibly and verbally hostile to our party from that point on -- rearranging our table, harrassing our waitress about allowing us to sit together, and making rude remarks to us throughout our meal. Furthermore, he lied about our tables being reserved in an attempt to hurry us out of his place, brought the bill when we had yet to finish our drinks, and then assaulted one of our party when confronted about his ill treatment of us. His behaviour toward us could easily be his behaviour towards you. Customers beware! None of us will ever eat in this establishment again.

Cosmic Cantina is the best place for a summer lunch or dinner outside at one of their sidewalk tables. The BEST homemade salsa around and the fresh, health-conscious ingredients make the burritos fabulous. Also, cheap sangria makes this place the perfect summer stop.

I love being able to sit outside and enjoy a beer with one of their Quesidillas. I had heard of this restaurant while my sister was in North Carolina and was happy to walk upon the one in NYC. I love their margaritas and enjoy relazing with friends here or people watching. This is a must visit.

PROS: The food is tasty and the atmosphere is worth it
CONS: I don't think there is any ...

This place could only be in NYC! It's open every night until 5 a.m., they serve alcohol and they make big generous plates of organic Mexican food.

I love their Spin City Quesadilla. The salsa chips are great too.

They serve something called Fruit-a-hols which are a sort of cocktail mix of fruit juice and premium liquor.

Highly recommended! Awesome place to read, listen to your iPod or unwind late at night!!
