Reviews
SERVICE: Ok
FOOD: A solid 4 stars, Tastes fresh, shrimps where cooked PERFECTLY, I am not a big fan of tostones (flied plantain flats,) HOWEVER their tostones, I could eat all day. They are THE BEST tostones i have ever tried. They Guacamole is really good, and goes perfect with the tostones.
ATMOSPHERE: Relaxed, welcoming, some light music might go very well.
-When you first walk in, there is an off-putting smell. The tables are sticky and feel unclean.
-The red beans had no salt and lacked flavor.
-I had to continuously ask the waitress to refill my water. Very inattentive.
-It was cash only which was not disclosed until the check was brought out. This was new as they took credit card before. There is no apparent signage that states this and we weren’t told anything when we entered the restaurant.
-They automatically added 20% tip to the check without my knowledge. This is unacceptable as it should be at my discretion how much someone is tipped especially if the service was mediocre.
-This is what shocked me the most…they charged us for to-go containers. I’ve never been to a restaurant in NYC or anywhere in the world where you have to pay for your To-go containers especially after spending over $70 on a meal.
There are many things the owner needs to consider as the economy is tough right now and people are being selective where they go to eat. And considering this restaurant is in a neighborhood with many choices of Colombian restaurants to last me the entire year, it’s unfortunate that I’ll have to look elsewhere for better service, food and a place that doesn’t sneakily charge you different fees.
I don’t appreciate having to also be charged for a to go containers. And my tip was also charged. I should be allowed to decide the tip i give you. Change those tables seriously! They are sticky and shaky.
It will be a while before i go back again
There are many bargains combo dishes in low $20s, and they come with salad, various types of French fries or potato, rice with or without beans.
Previously she understood I wanted rice with pasta on the side, and charged me +$20 for what should be an under $15 lunch.
Very frustrating since normally there’s a salad, arepa, and occasionally additional protein.
