| - Omg...what a disaster of a night! I've dined at the original Barroco location in Lakewood since about the time they opened and the service, food, and atmosphere has always been superb. I figured I would enjoy a similar experience at the newer east side location. Boy was I wrong.
We came in at 6:30 on a Wednesday night with a reservation for a group of 10 and at the time we were seated, there were no other diners in the restaurant. The server was nice and took our drink orders, wich took a while to come out. Once we placed our food orders, we waited for over 2 HOURS to receive our food. Table after table that were seated after us were served their food while our table sat and waited and waited while getting hangrier and hangrier... No apologies were issued by the waitress until after some people in our party spoke up to another server. I started squirting sauces on my plate to eat since there was no real food in sight. At the 2 hour mark, we were planning to just pay our drink tab and leave, but our server said the food would be right out, so we continued to wait.
When the food finally started coming out, it was served luke warm, but I was so hungry I didn't care and inhaled everything. My Arepa was pretty good, but not up to the original location's standards. My girlfriend's mom ordered a salad and it was so saturated with dressing, she only took a few bites and had enough.
We asked for the check and they apparently couldn't separate the bill, so we had to go up to the cashier and tell them what we ordered to get rung out. Ugh...
I'll stick with going to the Lakewood Barroco.
