| - This place just keeps getting worse. I don't understand why they act all exclusive and busy (I've seen them turn down patrons that just wanted drinks at a table), when time after time any Latin American person I speak to about their experience there tell me a similar story about how the food is not good. I genuinely think the only ppl that actually like this place are all non Latinos. And mainly because they have no fucking clue what the food is supposed to actually taste like and the ingredients it's actually supposed to have in order to taste Great. We're all open to fusion (we'll call it that because Latin American Street Food THIS IS NOT), but this was no good.
Third time coming here, this time I came with a different group of friends, all Latinas. I came with a Mexican, 2 Venezuelans, a Chilean and myself (Peruvian).
SERVICE:
Our waiter was rude and sarcastic when we asked him questions about the menu (because the "street food" they're trying to do is just odd fusion).
FOOD:
-how do you serve guacamole tapa style without anything to eat it with. Oh and iffff you want tortillas 2.75 lol what do you mean iffff? You mean people just get a sharing tapa plate with guacamole and they all take turns scooping it out? And this is called a tapa? No, valdez it's called a fucking side, or dipping plate if you're serving it alone. Don't try to make standalone guacamole a tapa. Lol naked. With nothing. Lol the Mexican was utterly confused and offended. But sure okay, we all went with it and paid for tons of tortillas because what else can you eat guacamole with?
-I tried the chaufa (typical Peruvian dish), and just... Please don't. Edamame beans in chaufa, how and why? It tasted like plain fried rice with Edamame. Just stop.
-The grilled calamari was deeply underwhelming.
-The Albóndigas and the Choripapa were the only decent things, if you messed up 3 meatballs and potatoes with sausage, then you really need to get out of the food biz.
DRINKS:
-The waiter got us glasses with water, we sat down and my gf realised there was a fly in the glass, gross! So she asked him for another glass, he seemed annoyed but he did, and came back and the glass he brought her still had lipstick marks from the last person that used it. Gross again.
-My girlfriend ordered red wine, I decided to do the same... My glass came and there were 4 flies in my glass. How does this happen? You have to be either the dirtiest place on earth or the most careless and blind waiter to miss that. And when I pointed it out, he repeated what I said as if though I was exaggerating or lying lol. And then he saw it and was deeply apologetic and it s like all his attitude went out the window. Lol he knew he or valdez messed up. After that. I didn't want any wine or any water, nothing unsealed from this place. I opted for a sealed beer. Ugh.
At the end of the meals, when the bill came, he was nice enough to point to me (without me saying anything) that he had not charged me for the glass of wine. Why... How gracious of you Milord, seeing that I didn't drink it and there was a fly pool fest in my glass, it's the least you could do, but thanks for pointing out the great token of appreciation you bestowed upon me, by not charging me for the wine. You highly attentive and sensible man, you.
TLDR:
Blah.
One star because of the albóndigas and choripapa.
Minus stars for 1) the shitty waiter, 2) the four flies in my wine glass, 3) the one fly in my gfs water, 4) the glass with lipstick marks from random person
Talk about a horribly underwhelming, and gross experience. Oh, but the rooftop patio is nice.
