However, things got worse with my main dish. I had requested to substitute the steamed vegetables to tostones, but was surprised to find only one tostone on my plate. When I asked about it, I politely said I’d rather take the original vegetables than just one tostone — and what I received were bland, overcooked vegetables that I wouldn’t even feed to the squirrels in my yard. Had I known the substitution meant receiving only a single tostone, I would have gladly paid extra for a full portion.
To add to the poor experience, my friend’s entrée arrived 10 minutes after mine. Serving only one meal at a time felt awkward and inconsiderate.
I truly wanted to enjoy my time here, but unfortunately, the food quality and service just didn’t meet expectations.
We ate so glad we went! There was no wait, and we were greeted by Yohana and Tomas. They were so friendly and welcoming as we told them we’d never tried Peruvian food. They both humored us while we tried ordering in Spanish.
Husband had the Ceviche Mixto made spicy and he tried two different Peruvian beers. He thoroughly enjoyed his food and his beers. I tried the a piece of the shrimp device, and it was good and spicy. I had the pan seared fish with white rice and salad. I love my meal! The fish was cooked perfectly with the light lemon and butter sauce and paired perfectly with the rice. I gave my husband half of the rice to mix in his ceviche. We couldn’t resist trying the tres leches cake. It was also delicioso!
The food and service was great! I learned that El Buzo means “The Diver” which made the decor make a lot of sense because the walls were covered with pictures of divers. We highly recommend this restaurant and will be back again! All pics were taken after we started eating, sorry.
Strike one – First course was a simple empanada. When presented it looked freshly fried but, upon cutting into it, found the chicken inside was not fully cooked and actually cold. Sent it back and a brand new one was provided but cut into that and found it was the exact same. The empanada was so frozen and improperly cooked again. Waitress took it back and brought out the same one this time (half cut) but now it was warm and soggy from them microwaving it. We politely declined as it is not worth eating something undercooked and microwaved. The other app was ceviche de pescado and this was actually OK. Nothing to rave about but also wouldn’t come back for this dish alone. Note that I asked to start w this dish but it was given to me at the end on my meal – so much for an appetizer as it was then dessert
Strike 2 – I received my main course, pan seared salmon. It looked nothing like the picture and instead was 2 flat thin pieces smothered in sauce = poor quality fish masked by very salty sauce. To add to that, by the time I finished my main couse
Strike 3 – after all this I finished meal, but the person I was with hadn’t even received their only main course order of chicken
I would not recommend and won’t be back
