I have always been a fan of Bennys'. I mean $3 Margarita - who can beat that?! I actually got a chance to go for Halloween and had an amazing time! Whoever decorated did a great job and it was just what you needed to get the party started. They have this new salsa - roasted corn----YUMMY! I think I'll check 3rd ave next!!! Pros: Cheap, Fun, and always a good time!!

I've never been a margarita fan, but I'm a fiend for a good mojito. I was pleased to see it on the menu. However, it's very unfortunate that Benny's failed miserably in their mojito offering. When i ordered, the bartender told me they were out of mint but she'd see if she could grab some. Now, i've always been of the school of thought that in order to offer menu item a restaurant should A. have ingredients on hand to make it, and B. know how to make it. I'm appreciative that the bartender ran out for fresh mint but, taking my first sip, it was apparent that having ingredients on hand was not the only issue they had with their menu. For those who don't know, a mojito should be prepared with: white rum, soda, and simple syrup poured over a generous helping of fresh mint muddled with3 or 4 slices of lime and a dash of sour to finish. What i got at benny's was a lime juice and rum cocktail with a couple shreds of mint floating around. I'm a brutal critic but I do try to make the best of a bad meal or drink before giving up. So i asked the bartender if she could add more simple syrup and sadly I had to explain to her what it was as in her obliviousness to its existence she had failed to add it in the first place. Again what was put in front of me was pitiful, instead of simple syrup I received a couple of sugar packets dissolved into a rocks glass of hot water. In the end I slid my drink back her way explaining that it just didn't work out and asked for a budweiser instead. So far I've only criticized their preparation and neglected to mention service as service was neglectful in and of itself. While I was choking down my citrus satire of a mojito and trying to get the bartender's attention, she was busy chatting with her two trashed friends about after work plans. I could care less if you've got friends at work but the least you can do is fake paying attention to the two dissatisfied customers dropping 80$ on food sitting 3 feet away from you. Pros: none found this visit Cons: service, ignorance of mixology.

I wouldn't necessarily call it CHEAP, maybe a little under average, but it's still great. The food is excellent, the margaritas are great and the location and atmosphere are perfect. Right in the heart of greenwich village, this place is the perfect place to go with friends before going out.

This place had a very laid-back atmosphere, with big portions of food. The drinks were awesome also ($3). Our server was a bit crazy. She got upset at us for tipping her only 15% (the service was average). That certainly ruined our overall experience. What if she spits in our food the next time I go there...ha ha Pros: Food and cheap drinks Cons: Crazy Server

I unfortunately live right around the corner from Benny's - It simply can not be healthy in the long run! I am married to a vegetarian that is very picky about her food, and even she can not get enough of this place! I have only tried the burritos on the menu - I simply can not imagine anything better, so why try! The burritos are more than enough in size, the taste is top class and if you "super" it with all the smotherings, you will hear the angels sing! I can not imagine a better burito and for the price, it's a steal! Go Benny, GO! Pros: Value for money! Burritos are awesome! Cons: Can be very noisy. A bit congested at times as well

They have some of the best and tastiest drink specials in the city. Their Black Flower is my all-time favorite - 1/2 frozen marg and 1/2 sangria! Yum, and ONLY $3.50! They also have mojitos for $3.50 and their other specialty margaritas are $4.50, so you can have some really good drinks for very little. Their food is good, not fabulous, portions are very generous and after a few of their drinks you really don't care! It's a fun place with great staff and great service. One of my favorite hang outs with friends! Pros: great inexpensive drinks, good food, great staff Cons: busy, crowded, noisy
