Mary Ann's, like most
mini-chain restaurants, is consistently just fine. Pumping out tacos
and burritos by the truckload, there is very little concern for experimentation,
new menu items or improvement. You know what you're going to get every
time you come here, assuming, of course, that the cook hasn't just
broken up with his baby-momma or had a tough day at the track.
That can lead to the occasional scorched plate of nachos or soggy-bottomed
taco loco, or whatever. Otherwise, you're in for reasonably enjoyable
Mexican food that is more authentic than Chevy's,
Burritoville
or Taco Bell, but still has that conceived-in-a-mass-test-kitchen
flavor compared to a hole-in-the-wall joint like Tovar's.
The atmosphere is what makes this place fun, as you and the other
patrons share the small, loud space in a veritable tequila haze. It's
always a party here, and there's always a line to join in. The bar
is about the size of a small skateboard deck and the servers seem
on the verge of homicidal rage, but if you can get in for a taco/enchilada/tamale
plate and a couple margaritas before heading out to drink your face
off in the East Village, you could certainly do worse. [MF] Other Locations: Mary Ann's (Chelsea) Mary Ann's (Upper East Side) Mary Ann's (Upper East Side II) |
