A month ago, we went to Sgt. Garcia's on a Friday night when the other restaurants in Forest Hills were too crowded. We should have known that it was empty for a reason. The decor is tacky and the tables are made of fake wood (shiny plastic). We waited a long time for the server with the poofy hair to come take our order. The frozen margarita tasted like there was no alcohol in it. I asked for the bartender to add more tequila and they charged me for a shot. The food was the worse Mexican food we have ever had; this place managed to turned us off to chorizo for the rest of our lives. We saw our server hanging out by the server's station with the other servers and could not get his attention for the longest time. He also went in and out of the bathroom and spent more time touching and fixing his hair than taking care of his tables. The cost was on par with other restaurants in Forest Hills. However, given the quality of the food and the horrendous service, it was a complete rip-off and waste of money. I still get angry whenever we walk past this place and would NEVER return even if they paid us.
Pros: none
Cons: terrible food, terrible service, tacky and cheap decor
