Tortillas King — Restaurant in New York

I was having a problem finding a local Tex-Mex place, when I happened on Tortillas King. The facade and inside show considerable wear and they sported an A rating, so I figured this was a well established place and went in for my favorite dish - Chinichangas.

I ordered my chimichangas, and the wait began. As I stood there, I noticed odd behaviors like putting metal tins in what appear to be microwaves. Maybe they're special, industrial microwaves that is okay to put aluminum in, I thought, all the time waiting for the lightning bolts to appear (they didn't). I watched the cook put several dishes together that raised my eyebrows - nothing dirty or unsanitary, mind you, just...odd. Well one of them was mine.

After a considerable wait and what seemed like WAY too short a time in the deep fryer, I was handed my alleged chimichangas and left the restaurant, heading back to the place I would eat them.

First, I noticed the platter had yellow rice, but no beans. Odd, but ok. Then, I noticed peppers and onions ON the rice. Again, odd, but...Ok, maybe it's their thing. The chimichangas were a nice golden brown, and the melted cheese over top looked wonderful. As I stabbed my chimichanga with the fork, there was no satisfying crunch...it squashed down and wilted like a defeated man with an overbearing spouse and 12 children who hate him. I began to worry. I then sawed through this mushy outer "shell" and took my first bite.

The meat inside was seasoned well (I got one chicken and one steak), but remember those peppers and onions I mentioned? Yeah, there were none in the chimichangas. This buffoon never added them inside and for some of reason put them outside on the rice. This alone would have outraged me, however I was stunned - nay - bowled over when, as I chewed I realized that the chimichanga shell - the defining party of this food item - was RAW. Raw, chewy dough.

Suffice to say dinner was ruined, and between the distance I was from the "restaurant" and the language barrier (I tried helping them get a portable heater working while I waited - eventually I did, but there was zero communication), I decided not to return to complain, have them make it over, or get a refund.

I'll take this one as a loss so you don't...

Unfortunately, this restaurant has their menu on Ubereats advertised with no delivery fee but thinks it’s good practice to just cancel orders when they don’t believe you’ve spent enough money. Lol where does that happen? The whole point of Ubereats is that they don’t have delivery minimums and when they did they charged you a small order fee. I’ve tried ordering from them TWICE and both times they canceled my order because it was “too small.” Greedy little mfs really, they must be doing amazingly well turning away...

Wow. Never again. It's never a good sign when the delivery guy for a Tex-Mex "restaurant" is Chinese. Nor is it a good sign when Aloha Terriyaki Grill and Yummy Chinese Food menus are stapled to the Tortilla King one, all boasting the same address and phone numbers. I ordered Chicken Fajitas with Cheese, and a Chicken and Jack Cheese Quesadilla. The quesadilla was okay. The chicken fajitas were disgusting. Barely any cheese, wilted lettuce, fatty, dark chicken meat. The tortilla chips.. too...
