| - Let me lead off by saying: WHAT A CRAPPY EXPERIENCE.
They open at 11 AM on Sundays. We arrived around 11:05 and were the only ones in the entire restaurant except for the waiter (and, yes, the other opinions given here re: his level of service are true) and the cooking staff. Ordered by 11:20. I was told that my Pollo Rostizado would take about 25 minutes and I agreed that that was OK. Yucca Frita arrived about 11:30--well-fried and sauces were great. Wife's Pescado a lo macho arrived about 11:40. About 12 PM I started getting fidgety, because now 40 minutes had passed post-order and still no chicken. 12:02 PM waiter tells us that my order will be ready in 15 more minutes. Uh . . . WHAT? So now we are at a decision point--stick around and wait, or leave hungry and try to find somewhere else to eat? So we decided to wait. Pollo arrived around 12:20, too hot to eat (of course), so now I had to wait for it to cool off. Once it did so, I devoured it in about 15 minutes, and, I must say, it was very good. Received the bill at about 12:45 PM and it was wrong, but we were too frustrated to dispute. $43 for two people without drinks. Restaurant was still completely empty except for one other patron who arrived 5 minutes prior and appeared to be the center of attention whilst we remained only afterthoughts--although we spoke Spanish and definitely are not of the Gringo persuasion. I hope these folks have return clientele, because if this level of service continues I can't imagine they'll stay in business. We'll never be back.
