Warsaw Tortilla Factory

Who should go here: People in large groups looking for a party with no expectation of awesome Mexican food.

Warsaw Expat Consumer gives it: Three out of Five Sombreros. Se habla Ingles!

WTF, aside from being a well-recognized texting acronym, is also one of Warsaw's premiere party while eating spots. Mediocre Mexican food is served at group tables that have their own beer tap; once the tap is activated by the wait staff, patrons can tap their own as they like and monitor the cost of their beverages on the wall.

Food is okay. If you are looking for decent American-style Mexican, this is not the place. The food is definitely edible and even passingly good, it's just not quite what it should be. The tacos have very little vegetation; this eater likes the meat, but tacos just have to have some vegetables to add a little crispness. The mega-hot habanero mango salsa is...well, hot enough to kill a gringo, but not what the truly adventurous spicy eater is looking for. The waitress we had spoke excellent English.

I have no personal experience going here on Friday and Saturday nights, but have heard from others that it gets pretty wild. Second-hand reports state that Friday nights are pretty purple at WTF. Your humble narrator will report further if a Friday or Saturday night is experienced.

You can find the Warsaw Tortilla Factory at Ulica Wilcza 96, or visit their website at http://www.warsawtortillafactory.pl/.
