| - I was looking forward to trying this place out because of the mostly great reviews. I got a Groupon for $20 and went on a Friday at dinner time. Place wasn't very busy at all, but they were sold out of the pulled pork (what my hubby wanted to try). He settled on a chicken one, I got a vegetarian one. Service was slow, and I didn't find the person at the cash to be very helpful. I asked how it worked, do you get a side? What are the different veg options? She just waved to the menu on the wall, which didn't really describe the differences. With the Groupon, it cost an extra $1 for the 2 arepas. My hubby liked his, but mine was bland. I used both sauces and one of his. He was still hungry so ended up ordering a platter with 3 items - sweet plantains, tostones and yucca. Lots of greasy food to fill him up, but that cost another $17. Without the groupon, it was $38 for what is essentially street food! I was underwhelmed by the experience, thought the food was meh and overpriced. If you are looking for a similar meal with fresh authentic food, better dining atmosphere, friendly service and cheap alcohol - go try La Bella Managua.
