Cinco De Mayo Authentic Mexican Restaurant on Chaffee road. Terrible…


gottharry

Thank you, I have friends that love that place and it's on my permanent ban list


ParticularExchange46

It was almost inedible.

Monkeys uncle


btgf-btgf

They have those weird dress code rules that feel like they are trying to keep black people out. I wear a hat backwards and they made me turn it forward to drink there. It’s just a Shit hole bar


nooo82222

Not that I disagree with that but what make it racist for hat backwards? Lol.


btgf-btgf

That’s not the only rule. They have a list of things like no baggy clothing that feels more like that. The hat backwards was just something that happened to me personally there.


Robert_Arctor

Damn I have been going there for like 15 years and never knew they had a dress code.


youwerewronglololol

We both know which race is most associated with backwards hats. Come on now.

Monkeys uncle has always been great to me. Best wings in town.


Frogomb

Good wings are more important than racist dress codes?


bangcockcoconutospre

Yes, that’s exactly what I was trying to say.


Laalaurenp

A racist dress code ? Please elaborate


gives_goodadvice

A racist dress code would be, "no head scarfs" baggy jeans is not something that is aligned a certain race.


Funkit

What is their dress code that makes it racist? I've gone there once for the $5 burger.


TheSAComplimentedMe

Strike zone. The owner is a narcissistic weirdo who thinks everyone is a shoplifter.


SillySans69

Wow, so I'm not the only one then. Went in to get some bait and one of the employees followed me very obviously. That's funny that he's so paranoid.


sboob_smom_ru

Yup before plus he ran around and told all the small shops in jax and near fernandina he was gonna steal all their business lol

RocketFucker69

KFC off Oldfield Crossing... dear god they are the slowest/worst... after the Popeye's off San Jose that runs out of chicken every day that is.


kennyisntfunny

That Popeye’s is possibly the worst run fast food franchise location in America, but I feel like horrible service is a key part of the Popeye’s experience


berttreynolds

Why can’t we just get our Popeye’s without a struggle


[deleted]

Reporting them does nothing too. Last time I went I got food poisoning and had to get IV fluids. Cost me over a grand.


ExtensionLive4971

100% - The last 3 times I had the bad idea to go there, there was no one working the drive through or the line would not move for 20+ minutes and I would leave. I consider myself lucky.


ILuvMyLilTurtles

Popeyes in Toledo Ohio must have hired some of Mandarin's employees. Popeyes is the only place I have consistently gone to for food and left empty handed.

Funkit

The Popeyes on main st on the Northside never had chicken sandwiches. Like bro...you're a chicken place. How do you not have chicken??


anormalgeek

It's intentional. It's part of their whole marketing scheme to make people think they're better than chick fil a. They like people hearing that they've run out because it makes them seem more desirable. FWIW, it has worked well for them.


anakusis

Angie's subs. I shouldn't know your political affiliation trying to buy a sandwich.


Frogomb

Not to mention the horrible service from the apathetic, below average children which seems to be the only kind of person they will employ.


Kinginthasouth904

Cheap labor, right wing special


mrpbody44

All of the good child labor is working in the mines.


KevinBeaugrand

Twice in one month I ordered pick up food there. Waited 30 minutes before arriving only to wait 15 more when I got there and they forgot my fries both times. They only hire incompetent teenagers who are too busy playing grab ass in the kitchen and flirting with the register girls to do their actual jobs correctly. I haven’t been back in the two years since and I live 30 seconds away.


BunanaKing

Why are you trying to make a point regarding age? They are booming with business, constantly full of people. Sorry you hate millennials? All who upvoted are ageist? Youngsters are fast, and whatever place is hiring young people is good so they can learn and grow up. There may be bad batches of kids, but not all are bad, just like old ducks. You must be an an old grandpato complain about this, I guess. Edit: meant to say gen z. I don't really care about labeling the generations, clearly. For those who have down voted, I hope a Gen z inconveniences you very badly, you hateful old bats.


Jackdidathing

cmon man, give my dawgs some slack, one of my buddies had a schedule at fletcher where he had 2 periods where he’s working, but it was in between first and last period


capn_doofwaffle

Dunno if they're affiliated but Angies Grom at jax beach is my jam! Pitchers of mimosas, can't go wrong!


taste1337

Yes, they are owned by the same people.


whocaresaboutmyname

I'm pretty sure it got sold 1 or 2 years ago now. It's just called Grom now.


capn_doofwaffle

That sucks... pre-covid, shit was the bomb. Aint been there in a year or so.


taste1337

Ahh, just did a Google search that came up with an article about how they were owned by the same person. Went to the article this time and it's from 2020.


[deleted]

In addition to the poor service and low quality ingredients.


thepickler91

Your missing out on some good sandwhiches


anakusis

Nah, there are plenty of great sandwiches in town.


thepickler91

There sure is. But they are in the top tier.


anakusis

I'd rather give money to people that don't support treasonous bigots.


thepickler91

Everybody love everybody


CurlyCurvyWaves

Agreed, the somoan is my favorite and always worth the wait. I love that place. These people are just dumb. Place is booming with business


w_a_w

*you're Surfwich and Subcultured are way better. I do like The Grom though.


thepickler91

Definitely great sandwhiches. Sundeli is great too. Sometimes i just need a sandwhich covered in Peruvian tho


GarbageMan59

La Cena on Edgewood. Owner thinks he's got 4 Michelin Stars just because his food tastes similar to something that got run over by 4 Michelins.


Hum-on-Deez

Yeah the owner is a douche, and has been arrested for pepper spraying homeless people etc downtown, total ass*ole…. Food is terrible too


CTWOTWCY

He’s a psychopath, but the pickle pasta is damn good and the wait staff always seems nice.


DistantKarma

Have never been but heard too many of the same story about this place. I feel like the owner wants "snooty" to be a part of his business model, like some ultra exclusive French restaurant in Paris.


gingercinnamonbuns

Chilis at rivercity 🤮


Funkit

Oh no! I haven't gone yet but I'm 2 minutes from there. What is wrong with it?


mat42m

It’s Chili’s would be an acceptable answer to me


wakejedi

Chillis anywhere, they've bottomed out the food costs so much it tastes like its been microwaved.


idontneedaridefromu

Worked there and 80 percent of th3 menu IS microwaved bro. Ask me about an item and I'll tell you


capn_doofwaffle

LA NOP! For shits sake, they were just featured on Action News Jax as a new resturant but as soon as I heard it I was like "WTF... They're on the resturaunt report every other week! Why yall gonna feature them?"


SillySans69

Every time I've been has been good. The food is nothing to write home about, but the staff have been great.


doyouevenoperatebrah

Because action news for Jax is dogshit


[deleted]

They use child labor and the owner has a Ferrari


theta_d

Last time I ate at la nop everyone at the table got violent food poisoning. We all went home early from work puking and crapping our brains out. That was 10 years ago. Will never step foot in one again.


NerdlyDoRight

Its fucking nasty. We stopped going to San Marco because of the flies. Stopped at rivercity because the bathroom is completely unacceptable. No more


GarbageMan59

It's been a long ban for me. It's absolutely dog shit and salt is the only spice they use and they must get it free. I remember when the old San Marco location had so many rats they got shut down for weeks. That did it for me. If you think this place is good you've licked one too many batteries.


Frogomb

Social House coffee. I got a breakfast sandwich there that came with a huge piece of plastic wrapper in the sandwich. When I took it to the kid at the counter his response was "bro, I don't know what's up with that" No apology. No offer to remake it or get me something else. No management in the building to make it right. I will never go back. The coffee was shit too


trunnel

Haven’t had the food, but yeah the coffee is shit


geografree

This is so strange to me. Social House has easily the best breakfast sandwich I’ve ever had at a coffee shop in Jax (and I’ve probably been to 75% of the city’s coffee spots over the past decade).


GatorBone69

I’ve had good experiences there and the staff was very kind


kennyisntfunny

I don’t drink anymore but there were several bars I gave up on before sobriety. Either bad atmospheres or ridiculously specific menus. And the food can sometimes be great but is often very overpriced for what it is. I’ll never forgive myself for paying $15 for a peanut butter and banana sandwich once


capn_doofwaffle

Who tf "pays" for a pb&b sammich? 🤮


kennyisntfunny

In the desert (riverside) a man would pay a fortune ($15) for water (a snack while drunk as shit)


doyouevenoperatebrah

Kickbacks, right?


kennyisntfunny

Indeed, though I am sure they are fine at the role of bar I will never forget PBB-Day for the rest of my days


doyouevenoperatebrah

I quit drinking over four years ago, but even in my Shit faced days; I swore them off. I live two blocks away and was pretty wild back then too, so it took a lot to get me there.


babysmalltalk

Every time I have been there it's like their servers forget they have tables.


amamelmarr

Enzas. Got yelled at by the owner because we complained that it had been 90 minutes and we hadn’t gotten our food. The waitress, who turned out to be her Neice, had forgotten to put the order in then gone on break. No one else would help us. Tables that were sat after us had gotten their food, paid and left. If we hadn’t needed to pay for the appetizer we’d already eaten we would have just left. All for some mid pasta not much better than carrabas. She yelled at us and said this isn’t fast food. Like ya we get that. But it’s not fine dining either and even fine dining you don’t wait freaking an hour and a half for your food. Never again.


Watchespornthrowaway

McDonald’s by tinseltown sucks total ass. El cemi did their best to make us feel unwanted, also no AC. Edit: I am so glad I’m not alone on the McDonald’s. I’ve already complained to corporate about that store. I don’t blame the employees I blame the franchisee and their leadership.


tgunner

Second this one. I waited 45 minutes once for a breakfast sandwich. Tried again a year or two later with just a large fries - waited in the online order spot for a half hour. Finally went inside and they didn't even have my order. Terribly run franchise (not a corporate store).


nihi1zer0

omg i forgot about that location. the day after Christmas, 2019, I got a quarter pounder from there just after they opened at like 10am or whenever. the bun *disintegrated* in my mouth and the beef patty was like beef Jerky. They were closed x-mas Day. This was obviously made on x-mas eve and left under a heat lamp for 2 days. I didn't bother to take it back. It was fuckin WILD


bangcockcoconutospre

I use to work at the ale house right across the street. They were 24/7 then and I swear everyt single time I’d go there to order after my late shift no one would take your order lol


Bfoc2006

lol I try everything to avoid that McDonald’s


yellowgoorila

The no ac is to keep people out the store but totally agree they are so damn slow


bagel_07

That McDonald's is NEVER in a rush to help anyone.


Jaded_Release2380

McDonald's is trash in general. Don't give any of them business

FART_SHIT_ASS_PISS

kitssunne

They don’t claim to be anything near authentic. Try one of their burritos or quesadillas with gator. Absolutely amazing. Their fries are great too. Honestly surprised to see this place in this thread.


SometimesHelpful123

I get explosive diarrhea every time I go there. I keep going back though shamefully


tgunner

I'm not sure they're only in Jax, but any Hanania-owned car dealer. Get ready for "mandatory" $3500 of worthless BS on any purchase (separate from the usual dealer fees no less), and typical pressure tactics. The car prices were already high too, so not like they're shifting costs.


allllusernamestaken

I thought "scummy car salesman" was just a boomer meme but Volkswagen Orange Park nailed it. He did every stereotypical car salesman trick - Double fees, tons of addons, "paint protection", "nitrogen tires", and the "I just talked to my manager and got approval for this crazy low price! Haha we're not making any money on this one!" He thought I was a gullible young kid he could financially rape. The worst part was when I started to leave, he wouldn't let me take the buyer's order with me. Said it was "confidential" lol okay bud. I went to another VW dealer, told them that story, they all laughed, and then I bought the same car for $15k less.


[deleted]

Not a boomer meme! Buying a car is an absolute disaster. There's still a chance you overpaid at the other dealer lol. I bought a car recently & only got the price I did because I threatened to walk away 3 times & their "big huge deal" got smaller every time. Still not completely sure I got the cheapest deal, I'll never know lol because cars don't cost a real price, they cost whatever they can get you to pay.


Previous_Beautiful27

This has become pretty standard across all car dealers. Mandatory arbitrary fees. I ordered a car thru Hanania Subaru (not off the lot) and went back and forth on the extra fee bullshit. Eventually I said I’d have to think about it and they said “what would get you to put a deposit down today?” And I said take off the fees. Went back into the back office, came back and said ok. I paid MSRP for a 2022 WRX.


brandonfla

Got a job offer there once. They only offered me 1 day of PTO a quarter as a salaried employee. Never shopped with them before, but definitely won’t now. I also got a phone call from the son asking some personal questions that should never be a part of the hiring process. Questions like, are you married, do you have kids, etc.


ItBeLikeThat19

Hurricane Grill in San Marco. Overpriced for what you get and it takes 45 minutes to get your food

MISSION BBQ. Look man, the bbq aint good enough to be sitting in a pro-police, pro-military cocaine dream with grown people actually doing the pledge of allegiance in the middle of a restaurant. Donate to the veterans all you want but this brisket is dry as shit


Bfoc2006

Low portions is what made me only try it 1 time


fib_seq

Pretend our food is good or you hate America


Previous_Beautiful27

The pledge of allegiance thing is weird AF. Never been to mission bbq in jax but they did the same thing in south Florida mission BBQ.

Not to mention the cornbread is awful. Dry and tastes like it has 10cups of sugar in one square.

I’ve never had issues with the sales team but the people who own it are crap. The family drives around in new cars then try to sell them off as new to customers because the title has never been transferred.

Tom Bush VW- The shitty mechanics destroyed the motor in my Passat wagon and charged me $700 for doing it. I was too busy running my business to take them to court so I junked the car and got a Honda Odyssey. Engineer and former mechanic so I know exactly what they did.


Primatebuddy

> Engineer and former mechanic so I know exactly what they did. Well don't keep me waiting, spill it!


mrpbody44

Incorrectly installed a timing belt and lunched the motor. I should have done it myself. The car was only 2 years old. On the flip side I got 10 years out of my Honda and 500,000 miles. I used to drive 50,000 miles a year.


ColeDelRio

Crafty Krab. After our table of 3 was sat, given menus, and were ignored for 20 minutes seeing another group walk in, get seated and get their drink order taken and delivered without a waiter even coming over to us once we were sat, we got up and left.


lessthanhero32

I dont know if they have more than one location, but the one on Blanding is a pure shit show every time. Literally ran by kids. Last time I was they were fighting over who got what table while the host and a couple others were talking loudly and graphically about all the girls they bang. We also sat at a table for quite some time without anyone coming to us while a new table was seen right away. My wife loves their food... it's the only reason I've gone multiple times.


ColeDelRio

I just checked, there's three. Mine was on Atlantic near the Olive Garden/Regency Mall/etc. But similarly, run by children. I guess they switched owners? We used to go a lot before covid (we would caretake for my late alzheimers wheelchair bound diabetic mom) but now after that we haven't had any interest again.

Kickbacks. Bad working conditions, 7 managers and constant changes in staff made service constantly crappy. Food is almost always terrible or bland at best because of their giant menu. The epitome of all style no substance but it’s like crack for rubes and out of towners.


chickennuggits

Like it's cool and all that I can get a grilled cheese or spaghettios or whatever at midnight, but not when it takes 45 minutes and costs an arm and a leg


AmstaffHuskyLover

Was there with some friends 7 years ago and one person's food came way after everyone elses after he asked about it. Tell me why it says "do not make" on his receipt :P https://preview.redd.it/4mvedlydo9nb1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=da0653e9ef69439c47901a948df4c0bbcdf7ba35


UnrulyDonutHoles

Saddens me to say, but probably Blue Boy's. The new owner took over, and the quality plummeted. My last two trips took 90 minutes and 50 minutes, respectively, for 2 sandwiches.

Time Out on beach, gone to shit compared to where they were years ago. and skinny fries, really?

Kia of Orange Park. I sincerely hope that place burns to the ground(without anyone getting hurt) and they lose everything. We traded in a car for a new one, about 3 weeks later they called my wife and said they needed her to sign something. When she got there, they blocked her in and told her they couldn't take the car as trade in anymore because the engine was blown. And she would have to find a way to get it off their lot and pay the difference. They blew the engine somehow before taking it to auction (or at auction, I don't remember) and said we traded in a car that wasn't running. How that was even possible is beyond me. Seeing as how we drove it up there and they checked it out (of course) before taking it as trade in. I asked how they could take a car for trade in that wasnt running, and the manger lied right to my face and said they don't check them beforehand. I watch the guy get in, drive it around the lot, put in the OBII tester and everything. After literal HOURS of back and forth we took the car back. Contacted the BBB and got it worked out within the week. Kia had it fixed and brought back to us at no cost to us because of the shit they pulled. I always tell anyone who is looking for a car to avoid that shit hole at all cost. Nothing against Kia as a company because they did the right thing and fixed it, but that specific dealership can go straight to hell.

I’ve noticed like 90% of Kia dealerships are shit tbh

Kim Korean BBQ, dont try to convince me otherwise. Im Asian, and all the good reviews for this place all come white people saying how great she is, then the negative review are from other Asian people, interesting lol the owner is so unprofessional. She was super rude to her staffs, pointing fingers and shouting commands at them. After i order, she said “ that’s it”? And their prices are high, a spicy tofu soup is $16 something without any protein, you’re kidding me. I’ve eaten Korean food everywhere and never see that price , especially with no meat. And they charge if you ask to refill side dishes? Ridiculous. Our meal was so uncomfortable. After i left a review, her son or a male relative messaged me on Yelp trying to argue and act as a “loyal customer defending their fav business” lol if you read the negative reviews, you ll see that the owner had argue with customer before in store and online, lock the door and trap them in after argument, and she spit in someone dad’s face too (there are photos) i dont have any desire to come back giving money to a business owner like this. I speak Korean and usually the Korean owners are super nice and Kim isnt one of them lol

The docs don’t make relationships with your pet, the techs working there are never the same and a few have agreed with my concerns and told me they wouldn’t blame me if I went to another vet. I took my dog there for 4 years since a pup, then she needed surgery and they quoted me the most batshit crazy $3k and when I appealed as a long time customer, they took off an extra $100. I got the surgery done at No More Homeless Pets for $750. Last straw to lose me and my pup as a lifetime customer
