by Jacinto Burkdoll on This was one of our Valentines Day activities. My throat is sore from screaming so loudly for our knight, a Richie Valens look-a-like that the dude started ccalling Antonia Banderas before the evening was over who donned the yellow & red in the battle to the death. In my opinion, he was the absolute best, even though he happened to be taken out by the yellow dude... It was awesome. When we first got there, we realized shortly after arriving that we were NOT going to be able to act like the sophisticated, serious, and svelte individuals that we are. We had to quickly pull out our inner little silly kids and let loose to have a good time. We put on the crazy paper hats. Posted for the photos. Looked at the souvenirs that they had for the suckers who were going to buy them. We laughed at the other folks. We cheered on our knight and even laughed at the servers corny jokes and desire to call everything something 'dragon'. Dragon blood - tomato soup, dragon wings - 1/2 chicken. dragon rib - a single rib, dragon juice - pepsi. Alrighty then. What I can't figure out is why the horses slobber so much. That would be my only complaint. I don't deal well with eating my food and watching some horses spitting all over the place. Yeck... They tell you to arrive an hour in advance for the sole purpose of taking your cash from you. They have a bar the size that most nightclubs would envy. The cost of their drinks... OMG - they put movie theatres on the welfare list. A cup the size of what you'd have at home is $5. There is a 40 ounce chalice that was well over $20. They have a full batch of alcoholic drinks, I couldn't handle retaining the information for the cost to report back to you guys, the number was too high for my memory to hold. We love to marvel at how folks waste cash. I'm sure that there were families in the house who spend well over $200 for a night at the Medieval Times. Glad that we had the buy one get one ticket, we would never have paid the regular price. Sad I didnt know about the bday program they have, but certain that I would not have been able to use both of the coupons! Might want to keep some cash on you for all the various vendors going through. Also, make sure that you take the $2 torture chamber tour, it was crazy to get that history lesson! They sell those lights they do in the circus, flags, extra drinks, photos, and of course, you'll want some cash to tip your server who is quite direct in their request for gratuity. In the lobby, you can purchase swords (wooden or real), rings, buttons, horses, knights, princesses, jesters hats, crowns, and the list never, ever stops.
by Wilber Ghee on El Baron has really tasty food. Good pupusas that are dirt cheap. The real sleeper hit are the rellenos...they have chili, green been, squash. They come in this crazy porky sauce and luscious beans....its so good. i've never really ordered anything else but want to try the seafood soup that i see everyone else getting. it can get crazy loud and "festive" in here....but we usually just go with it. downside is that drinks aren't that cheap.... but i guess it's technically a "nightclub". i especially love the crazy corona lady statue outside with crazy cleavage. hilarious
by Andre L. on Its always a fun, delicious, and house music thumping dinner in TAO despite being on 58Th and park. The ambiance is great even if the restaurant is swarming with B&T and tourists. The "fusion" menu actually works. Whether your ordering the spring rolls, sashimi, pad Thai, or kung pao chicken. Cocktails are Delicious but pretty weak, so get ready to order double the amount of drinks it would normally take to do the job. Trust me! You'll need a buzz to take the edge off when the check arrives.
