The Mexican Cafe - Newtown

This restaurant is a small authentic Mexican American restaurant in great proximity to Newtown Train Station.

Dreadful! Grief The worst service I have ever met, the rude manager argues and screams after we found meat in our vegetarian courts and asked to be refunded. Grief To mention that this is the second time that this happened! I thought I would give you a second chance after the first time. This was a mistake. We waited 2 hours until our food was delivered when it came, it was cold, and then we found the chicken in our vegetarian meals ... Manager apartment refused to reject us. Grief Grief Do yourself a favor, avoid all costs!

We were in a bit of a rush so had to grab something quick to eat and headed to Remember Saigon, purely because it was in our line of sight. Not sure if they know how to treat customers dining in as there was a lot of stalling between greetings, ordering, payment etc. It did seem there were quite a few take away orders/deliveries so this may be how the majority of their customer base experience Remember Saigon. Considering it was a weekend night it did seem a little strange there were only a couple of other tables occupied. We ordered the pork rice vermicelli salad and pork chop with egg & rice. The pork chop dish was very disappointing. The size of the pork chop itself was ridiculously tiny (the photo is not really a good depiction of how small it really was), yet they give you a mountain of rice, so it just felt like you were eating rice with a fried egg. Which, I don't have a problem with usually but not for $13. Vermicelli salad was a little better as there were quite a few pieces of pork, but again they pretty much filled the bowl with noodles over anything else. Hardly any salad either. Taste was pretty average too. Such a shame we were in a rush because there are so many nice places to eat around the area! Definitely have a look around if you're not strapped for time as there are plenty of great options.

Terrible service - order lasted 2 hours and 10 minutes to arrive. Order only a salad and a few spring rolls - nothing complicated! The food was also death cold and best average. Will not order here again.
