I will never go back AGAIN!!!

by chilena5

This was the worst experience I've ever had at a restaurant in my life. We went to the Sunday brunch buffet. When we arrived, there was a big sign on the outside that stated the price for the buffet was $12.95. While we were eating, one of the employees changed the price of the buffet to $13.95. The employee got a piece of cardboard and marker and taped it over the existing sign. We were forced to pay $13.95 for the meal.

I have never in my life been to a restaurant where the price for the food has increased while you are eating it. I found this to be a very poor and unethical decision to change the price of the food. I feel this is a way to rip customers off. If a restaurant advertises a price, they have to stick to it.

Furthermore, the service is awful. There is only 1 waiter for the whole place. There were 16 people in our group. I finally got tired of waiting for my glass of water, that I had to share a glass with my husband during the whole meal. Once again, I have never been to a restaurant where I had to share a glass of water with someone else.

I will never go back to this place

by albertoscuba

The waiter treats you like you owe him something and the food did not arrive at the same time; first my friend's and 15 minutes later mine. The silverware was bended in many ways and appeared to had came out of a 99 cents store.

You are better off just going to the bakery next door.

All together it was an awful experience.

If you really like to be punished and pay for it, this would be the place to go.

could be better

by chilenodecorazon

In general the food is good, just a taste

a little Mexican, because the cooks are not Chilean! that hurts.

what to emphasize in this latter time now is watch out, before there was a guy that left much to be desired with their service, unkind and it seems that this drunk.

The days are Sunday buffet is so bad that one of the cooks change the trays and also provides customers with all his apron full of food, oil stains, it gives a very bad look for us customers.

by TalitahDanyelle

my parents have gone to this restaurant before i was born. And i grew up with this restaurant and celebrated every kind of occasion here. the pastel de chocolo is baked deliciously and the empanadas are baked to perfection.

  • Pros: best chilean food around
  • Cons: the spicy has become lesser
