Tequila Sunrise, Long Island City

The place was recommended by a friend. The wait was expected and not the reason why we were disappointed. Nachos were served by the bus boy with a tiny salsa 1oz cup. We asked for more but it never arrived. The guacamole was O.K. but the food I would rate mediocre at best. It tasted like fast food Mexican rather than made to order and totally not worth the wait. We decided not stay for dessert and realized our bill had a service charge not only for the service (although there were only 3 of us) but were also charged $5.50 for the mariachi band. I have never seen a surcharge as this and find it insulting. It is customary to tip the band when they come by but not force it onto your guest. Had the food and service been worthwhile, we might have just shrugged our shoulders to the charge but that was not the case. I will stick to my favoritie Mexican place called Cilantro on the upper east side. Sorry Tequila Sunrise.
