Restaurant

😐 Service was good. Ordered pina coladas and Margaritas. Drinks were lacking alcohol and their signature dish, “seafood rice fantastico” had too much salt for it to be truly fantastic. But prices were not unreasonable. Would probably recommend this place for a quick bite. Just not dinner your last nig... People often mention service,

    Don't bother, find somewhere else. Everything was just "okay". The carne asada was dry. Posta negra (pictured) shouldn't really be called posta negra- it's a shame compared to what it should be (the stuff you find at local, hole-in-the-wall places). The sides it came with were ok but the meat itself was disappointing.

    Waited to eat here, horribly disappointed, service was inattentive, my drink never came, beef ribs and fried fish was good, but cold, asked for garlic sauce which never came, won't recommend or return, lost our appetite, they seat you and forget about you, Go to Lena y carbón, across the street, ask for Henry, nice live music, they more than made up for our ruined dinner at El Catedral, came here 3x, fantastic service and dinner!

    We ordered langostinas a la parilla with coconut rice... we got some fried langistinas, the waiter said there were some changes in the menu, she could have told us this before ordering....

    Be patient with the service. Remember you are on vacation. The food was excellent. I had steak stir fry.

    Won't go there again. Any food requested would take more than 45 minutes to be delivered. Did not like the service at all.

    The food and service both were amazing. We ordered the 2 versions of grilled sea bass on the menu and both were delicious and well presented. Staff was attentive as well. We were initially suspicious as we were guided there by someone from the streets who was holding a menu and the place wasn’t particularly busy either. But it was a really pleasant experience!

    Food was excellent, but the service was subpar. The waiter acted as if he was doing us a favor serving and he was very nonchalant. One of the waitress there did more in serving us more than the waiter who took our order. I would have preferred for my tip to go to her, but I don't know how it works. Again, the food was great and also enough quantity for the price.

    Wonderful food if you stick to their featured sections. The wine is awful so skip their wine selection, the wine all tasted spoiled. The seafood pot with rice with the name “Fantastico” was AMAZING!!! The squid ink one was excellent as well. The sea bass dinner plate was perfect.

  • 1/5 Carolina G. 3 years ago on Google
    Really disappointing food. The food didn't have a lot flavor, the patacones were soaked with oil and we couldn't eat them. The salad was the saddest thing ever, a tiny bowl of shredded cabbage with no dressing. Waitress never acknowledge any of our concerns. Do not recommend

    Don't let the size of this restaurant fool you.. What they lacking in size, is triple in service.. The food was fresh and not one flavor overloaded the next. You'll really enjoy the close space 😉 with the intimate surrounding's..

  • 4/5 Thomas P. 2 years ago on Google
    I was surprised by how delicious this food was. Whatever is going on in the kitchen is amazing. Should be five stars, but the alcoholic drinks were a disappointment. Very limited selection and poor flavors.

    EXCELLENT food in the old walled city. Don’t be put off by the street-hawkers trying to promote the restaurant. We had the Filete de Robalo a la Plancha (Sea Bass). The fish was perfect and the rice (almost like a risotto) was incredible.

😠 I’m disappointed in the service we have been having at crepes and waffles. Extremely slow, rude waitresses, they do not give you attention- plus there was a green worm in our food. Did not take it off our bill

👍 If the servers were only helpful and friendly I would give this restaurant five stars. The servers seem to have an attitude and an air of snootiness. Not acceptable. The food is well presented but it does take a while to get it. My Poblano crepe was quite acceptable. The mushroom crepe was super yum...
