Ah, Fuzzy's Taco, a peculiar yet popular establishment nestled near downtown Colorado Springs. As I stumbled into this den of debauchery, an odd assortment of European decending patrons greeted me - college kids in various states of inebriation, families seeking a masquerade of culture, and the young military men, lost souls seeking solace in questionable cuisine.
The menu boasted a selection of what can only be described as white people Mexican food - a cultural mirage bastardized for the uninitiated masses. Tacos filled with flavorless fried white fish, quesadillas stuffed to bursting with bland fillings, all served on plastic-like plates with a side of misguided enthusiasm. The hottest sauce available would have been the mild in Mexico.
But let us not forget the libations that flowed freely, predominantly premixed concoctions of dubious origin. The air thick with the scent of tequila and regret, I observed as the patrons imbibed with reckless abandon, seeking a fleeting escape from the mundane realities of their lives.
And then, a moment that will forever be seared into my memory - a young man, teetering on the edge of coherence, succumbed to the overpowering spirits and regurgitated his sins into the urinal. But instead of retreating in shame, he boldly attempted to rectify his transgressions with his bare hands, a futile and revolting display of desperation.
In that moment, amidst the cacophony of drunken laughter and misplaced revelry, I saw a reflection of the disarray that permeated Fuzzy's Taco. It was a microcosm of chaos and confusion, a surreal landscape where authenticity was sacrificed at the altar of convenience and ignorance.
As I made my hasty exit, the image of that young man haunted me - a poignant reminder of the grotesque spectacle that unfolded before me. Fuzzy's Taco may thrive in its mediocrity, but it will never escape the judgment of those who dare to see beyond the facades of faux authenticity and...
Read moreFood quality has really gone downhill. Sent back queso for the chips as it was horribly greasy and tasted off. Sent burrito back as it was extremely salty and again, had a river of grease pouring out of it. Staff were very friendly and understanding and we even were given a small gift card for a return visit. We’ll be giving that to friends instead as we used to come often but every time quality just gets worse and worse- we won’t be coming back anymore.
When trying to leave the line was so long there we people standing in the doorway blocking a way out. Had to actually ask people to move so we could just get out of the restaurant- speaks volumes on how slow the service can get. They simply take orders at the counter and give you a buzzer. Maybe if more than one person was on a register that could be alleviated. Every empty table we walked by when leaving was in need of being bussed. When we sat at the bar we had to ask the bartender to give it a quick wipe down- the previous people sitting there left a messy bar top and it hadn’t been cleaned.
They’ve also changed their app rewards program back to points- I’m guessing this is a way to get more back from the customers as having a blanket cash amount off was costing them too much. Now you redeem points for a specific food item.
All in all, 2/5 for the staff being cool about the food totally sucking. But this place is a simple order and pick up food type joint. How they get so backed up, mess up tacos or burritos, and never seem to have any staff running registers, cleaning tables, etc, is just unacceptable. Their labor costs have got to be ridiculously low as they don’t seem to really employ anyone.
A final note- their hot sauce is trash. The “butt burning” sauce is lighter than Tobasco. Also the bottles are left out on tables so they’re always grimey and gunky. I highly doubt they ever...
Read moreMy visit began just fine. Then I noticed lipstick stains on my glass that surely didn’t belong to me. And in this world situation that is disgusting. I let my waiter know. Who during this entire visit was exceptional. He told me he was sorry and offered to buy me a new one. I denied because how can I trust this location after one glass that clearly wasn’t sanitized in the first place. Then an employee came up to our table, without asking how our meal was or if we were doing alright, she demanded to see my friends ID. There was no explanation. Considering we had our IDs checked when we bought the alcohol and clearly no one else in the restaurant was being confronted, we knew we were being harassed. After that, our waiter came up and we asked him why we were checked but no one else. He couldn’t give us an explanation other than that he approved us when we got in and he was clueless. He came up a few minutes later and let us know that they checked us because we seemed “fishy”. We were fishy because we bought drinks and an appetizer first, waited for our other friend to get there, and then bought our actual meals. Ridiculous. He told us that we were being wronged and the things his managers were doing were inappropriate and not justified. Those said managers decided to circle our table our entire visit and watch us while we ate. What should’ve been a fun get together turned into all of us feeling uncomfortable and unsafe. Not one manager approached us to apologize for the glass or the misunderstanding. Instead they pointed, stared us down, and gossiped about us. I spent $30 at the Interquest location today. And I’m highly...
