Waitress snags time with Tarantino

A waitress and aspiring actress at West Village Mexican eatery Mercadito Grove made the most of a recent chance encounter with director Quentin Tarantino. “She saw Quentin walk by the restaurant the other day and ran after him to introduce herself,” says a spy. “She gave him her card and told him that if he came back, she’d buy the first round of drinks.” He did, the next day — with Benicio Del Toro. “She wasn’t working, but the manager called her and she came over,” our spy says. After a few rounds of drinks, the trio left together.
