Restaurant Pssst Bandido - Restaurante Mexicano — Restaurant in Dusseldorf

Tldr: None of this food is in the least bit authentic. Skip this place and go to Casita Mexicana instead.

Where to begin? I was sceptical after seeing the pictures, and would not have come here had we not been invited to a family function.

This was a bizarre one! At its best, this is very unimaginative and boring Tex-Mex. At its worst, it's a baffling and weirdly elaborate attempt at making Mexican food.

The mixed starter platter featured a miniscule blob of already-browning guacamole, adorned with an olive. There was a fairly good flautas kinda deal with chicken, and some tortillas with (three kinds! According to the waiter) melted cheese between them. Also some soggy and sweet chicken wings, a boiled and unseasoned half of corn-on-the-cob and some other forgettable and boring stuff, including a "vegetarian pastry" that had meat in it.

My main course consisted of a microscopic amount of pretty damn good beef picadillo in a tortilla roll. There was also a hunk of spare rib which was not labelled as pork, but couldn't have been anything else. It was marinated in something very sweet and sticky. The meat was okay. The last piece was a crispy taco kinda thing that was absolutely STUFFED with dry and chalky shredded chicken. There was some red-ish rice with peas and corn. That's it.

My wife's vegetarian mole dish featured a mole sauce that was "As spicy as advertised, but as far away from mole in taste as possible that I couldn't make it further than one fork full"

It's not that I want to dunk on this place, but come on.

Ohh also when we walked in someone was getting served spaghetti??!

Update: Next day, I had diarrhea four times today, working...

Very poor service. Because the owner wants details....... here it is: I call to get a table, were the reply was "if you can come now I have a table for you, but only for an hour and a half" , I said "ok , I will be there in 2 min, we are around the corner ". Till here all great. We come in and no one at the door. I go in and to the left 2 woman talking. I did not want to interfere, they look at me but I was of not importance. Then I say hello and one said just a minute. Then she start to talk, I told her that we just call for a table for two. Aaaa, yes ok, we got seated and that's all. After few minutes I get up and went to get the meniu from another table. After 10 min a person come to ask what we drink and I told her. 10 min later, another person comes and asks what we want, and we order. Another 10 min later a man comes to take the order. It was really nice, but yet nothing on the table. So this man finally executed the order. The hostes should stai at her place to receive people, especially when I was clear,that I will be there in 2 min. The table shoud have menus on it and not 3 different people take the order . I didn't know who's the waiter. As for the owner mabe...

Another negative review from my pocket 😞 First of all the guy who took order from us and served the drinks was extremely rude. He is not interested to take the order and not willing to suggest good menu for kids. Food is OK, presentation is good. Forgot something here... he "throwed" the beer and cool drinks stands towards us. Didn't care to keep then down slowly/neatly. I had the most bland and non tasty Fajita. Burrito was ok but the same ingredients as in Fajita. They have so many tables empty still gave us a place where only two adults can fit but we were 7 (4 adults + 3 kids). We felt very uncomfortable to sit and the menu we ordered was not sufficient for the table to fit in all plates. When I called for a table the guy said "Sir, it is extremely difficult if you call us 3 hours before for a reservation and asked us to come without reservation". But, when we went the restaurant is...
