So I don't live too far from this place and they have 2 locations in Suffolk. Well another girlfriend of mine (see previous post of a friends recommendation) said the food was good in the Suffolk location so I said ok I'll try it. I should likely insert my parents live in San Diego Ca. So I am there like 2-3 times a year and the have a place that I love and I compare all Mexican food to. Well the hubby and I got to La Paparrilla a little after 7pm on a Wednesday night. Nice crowd. No wait time and we were seated immediately. So we got the customary salsa & chips. I ordered Queso (cheese sauce) and a margarita. The drinks and cheese came pretty quick. First thing I noticed was they somehow served me cold cheese dip. I know that sounds crazy because On would think that cheese would thicken if it was cold but this cheese was in fact "saucy" and luke warm at best. I will say this though, the large margarita is LARGE but at $9.99 I wished it tasted more like liquor and less like store bought margarita. So anyway, the hubby and I both order. He orders shrimp & rice and I order filet de pescado. I asked the waitress what comes with the meal she said "rice with vegetables mixed in" I said ok let me h are that and a side of black beans with extra cheese. All is well right? Nope!! About 13 minutes a guy brings our food to us. I look at my plate and it's dried looking broccoli and cauliflower with what I assume is a piece of fish drowning in that same white cheesy sauce I had earlier. He also places a huge plate of black beans with NO cheese anywhere is sight. So apparently they decided to drown my fish in cheese and when I had a look on my face like "what is this food Harpo" (sorry color purple reference) the guy says what is wrong. I proceed to explain to him none of this is what I ordered and I told him my actual order. He just kind of stared for a second and says "hold on" and walks away. My waitress comes back and asked what's wrong with the food? I told her "this isn't what I asked for, you said this came with rice, where is the rice and why has my fish been drowned in cheese sauce?" She looks at me and says "you asked for extra cheese". I looked back at her and said "I did, on my beans". I asked for a menu so I could find something to eat. No menu appears but another man does. He asks me what the problem is. I explain it to him and he says, ohh hold on I'll get a manager. WHAT IN THE WORLD?!? Well who are you strange man? It was like the commercial where the guy is robbing the bank and the people on the floor are like your a security guard so something and he like I'm not a guard, I just warn you if the bank is robbed, the bank is being robbed. Like who is this dude questioning me about my issues who has no control over it. I digress, so the manager comes over and I recognize him. I am like "hey did you used to work at a Mexican restaurant in Williamsburg? He's like yeah, I said I remember you. I used to work in a jewelry store that he frequented and a co-worker and I used to go there. Anyway I explain to him what's going on and I tell him you know I asked for a Menu so I could order something else and no one wants to bring me one. He's like "ohh I'm sorry how about I bring you what you ordered the way you want it?" I agreed and we once again wait. Meanwhile the hubby is eating away at his shrimp and rice. I did taste it and it was good. But honestly at that point I was so hungry I wouldn't be able to properly access if it was good because it was seasoned and cooked well or if I was just starving. A few minutes later another gentleman walks up and has my food. So they brought me what I asked for. There was no drowning fish on my plate but instead a dried up piece of white meat that I assumed was fish. Again at this point I am starving so I'm like hell WTH I'll try it. Well, ohh I should likely mention I'm sitting in outback right now writing this review. The fish (what I honk was fish) was dry and seasonless. (Yeah I made up a word, seasonless sounded better in my head than bland at the moment). I'd give it 2.5 *s
