The Cathedral Restaurant — Restaurant in Paterson

This place has some pretty amazing home made tacos but unfortunately I find them to be a little overpriced. I spend over $15 on four little tacos. I also find that the tortilla chips that they serve with the meal are always freezing cold and hard as a rock which is a shame because I really love homemade tortilla chips when done right. Considering that it is just a free appetizer I wouldn’t even normally bring it up but these chips are so bad they are borderline un edible. I do like the decor of the place. You wouldn’t expect it from the outside but it has a very cool old school Mexican vibe to the interior. Exposed brick, stucco, and hand paintings of prominent mariachi artists. But unfortunately even that can’t really be appreciated sometimes due to the fact that it is usually over crowded with tight seating arrangement and incredibly loud music. Although another positive thing to mention is that at least that loud music is sometimes live performances like a karaoke night. Needless to say this establishment is definitely a bit of a mixed bag with a lot of pros and cons. They’re ok but they could be much better if they stopped being so stingy and implemented better service. It is not my favorite Mexican restaurant but it is not the worst so I do find myself coming back every once in a while. Like I said the...

I met up at this restaurant with my friends to celebrate a birthday. I was the first one to arrive, so the waitress pointed me to the table my friend reserved for us, and I got to take my time looking at the menu. While I waited for my friends, I munched on the complimentary chips and salsa that had been placed on our table. I noticed the artistic elements of the restaurant had a very old-fashioned vibe to them (in a good way). It gave the atmosphere a very authentic feel that a lot of other mexican restaurants lack. The staff are very nice, and they went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. They even gave us sombreros in order to celebrate our friends birthday, and we had fun taking pictures in them. Later on, the lights dimmed and the party really got started. They put on beautiful strobe lights that flashed in a variety of colors, and a professional began to sing for the customers. Once he had finished a few songs, people got a chance to sing karaoke, and I found out that one of my friends has a very beautiful voice. After scanning the menu, I ordered a burrito with steak and beans. It was actually surprisingly big for the price, and I left feeling extremely satisfied with it. Overall, it was a very memorable occasion, and I wouldn't hesitate to come back...

Poor costumer service , had an unpleasant experience yesterday , as I walked in I took a seat at a table by the window , no one greeted me or even said hi. There where two young girls just laughing then I went to the bathroom I thought maybe the waitress is busy” the restaurant was empty “ came out and there was a lady with what appeared to be a menu in her hand , however her face looked serious and she didn’t say welcome ! or have a seat or how May I help you?? I said hi to her and still nothing “crickets” then I just walked out, Idk maybe it’s just me but I like to be greeted upon entering any business. Judge for yourself give a try and you will be disappointed. By the way I have tattoos on my face and there’s a county jail near the restaurant so maybe she was scared “idk” little did she know I’m a humble tattoo artist that loves Mexican food & good service ! Check my reviews thanks for reading...
