Tocolo Cantina Glen Cove -- How the Mighty have Fallen

After my subpar experience getting Tocolo Cantina delivered, we decided to eat at the Tocolo Cantina in Glen Cove. It is a much pretty restaurant than the one in Garden City especially with outside seating in the courtyard.
We ordered some tacos and a chicken fajita

Much to our disappointment, these dishes were uninspiring and they harkened back to the food that was delivered to us a few weeks ago. To add insult to injury, a fire alarm went off in the restaurant which did not stop for our entire meal. At least the alarm sound stopped but the flashing lights did not. After about 15 minutes, the air conditioning system then shut off. As we are in a heat wave, it did not take long for the the restaurant to heat up. When we asked our server and the manager, they had not idea what was going on other than to say there must have been a fire in the building above the restaurant.
I usually like to judge a restaurant mostly on the food quality but in this case I will make an exception. The whole fire alarm, lack of air conditioning and no insight from the Tocolo Cantina made our meal unbearable. So I leave the restaurant with a shame on you for a most unappetizing experience.
There are other better Mexican restaurants that you can go to and we suggest you try them.
