"Some say third time's the charm ....\n\nThe first time I patronised El Segundo Sol -- or tried to patronise 'The Second Sun' -- they quoted me an insane wait time, even though the whole place was empty. About-face, and, go next door. \n\nThe second time I patronised El Segundo Sol -- I immediately thought --\nWhat is this shit?\n\nHostess was nowhere to be found. Literally, not on duty. \n\nThere were actually patrons this time, so I imagine the wait time is going to be three hours or something -- based on my first visit -- but, instead, I am immediately seated (once a random waiter showed up to perform the duties of the hostess).\n\nWhere is this hostess? \n\nI browse the grossly overpriced menu items and select the carne asade entr\u00E9e.\n\nI suppose I am not distinguished enough (looking) to be asked how I wanted my asada cooked, because they just cooked it however the fuck they wanted. Literally, not figuratively. Rice was crap, frijoles were crap.\n\nThe meal was mediocre -- as expected -- and, yet I have managed to get on with my life.\n\nThe hostess was there when I left, and, I initiated the farewell greeting. Pay It Forward.\n\nThe third time I patronised El Segundo Sol -- wait -- this never happened, because I am no masochist.\n\nTwo-stars because I am nice. Not recommended: don't come here.
