| - * To be fair, I didn't actually stay to sample the food.
I can only think of a handful of times I have actually walked out of a restaurant in which I intended to eat at. Unfortunately, this was one of them. This is why:
My fiance and I bought a deal over a year ago on restaurants.com to try out this place. We were actually really excited to give Columbian food a try, but for whatever reason, hadn't gotten around to using our coupon. We finally decided to just make a plan, and go for it. We looked over the menu and were really looking forward to coming here. We were expecting a little hole in the wall, with simple but tasty food.
And maybe that is what we would have gotten on a different day. Unfortunately, the day we went, two major red flags were present.
1. When we walked in, a handful of people were sitting in the "front" room, which is basically a convenience store front with a few tables. We weren't offered a seat in this room. Rather the hostess walked us to the larger back room- where the lights were turned off. She told us they were off because they were trying to cool the restaurant down- there is no air conditioning in the building.
We arrived at 6:00 pm on a Wednesday. It didn't seem as though they were expecting customers.
2. The second we walked in, my fiance and I both instantly noticed that the entire building wreaked of sewage. The smell could not be ignored. Sorry, but if the place I'm going to eat at smells like waste, I don't have confidence in your sanitary practices.
I've never been in a restaurant that smelled, and we immediately left. The health department might want to drop in for an inspection.
