    After 12 1/2 hrs at hospital was excited trying this place for first time that I scheduled delivery for right after work. Get home got my food delivered by Manuel, 2 tiny bags, this place missed 1 of my orders COMPLETELY. Spoke to Manuel then I called restaurant told lady who picked up they delivered 2 seafood cocktails (ceviches mixtos), and I didn’t receive the Crab meat with a side of rice, plantains and salad (cangrejo con arroz, platanos y ensalada). Manuel told me there was a language barrier as driver didn’t speak Spanish and lady didn’t speak English which is NOT my problem. Yet, I still tried to politely solve their miscommunication issue. She kept telling me that she thought Manuel asked for 2 seafood cocktails because she told him they didn’t have the 2nd part of my order request which was the Crab meat combo. What her exact words were “YOU SHOULD CALL NEXT TIME TO AVOID THIS, BECAUSE THATS NOT MY FAULT AND I CANT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT”. Then why have your restaurant on GRUBHUB?! Which is where I ordered with. And it’s America English is crucial, she should’ve gotten herself help. Last but not least, as a restaurant who prides itself in professionalism IF THERE IS NO MORE OF SUCH THINGS LIKE CRAB MEAT, IT IS THE RESTAURANTS RESPONSIBILITY TO CALL THE COSTUMER AND ADVISE THEM AND ASK IF THEY WANT A REFUND OR TO ADD/CHANGE ORDER. First and last time I order from this place, such a unnecessary headache.

    Had a unpleasant experience. Arrived at a dirty table. Our beverages took forever to arrive. Then we get told they no longer have those drinks. I noticed yes they still do but obviously they didn't look well. Our meal came out. Plates were & silverware was thrown at our table! I asked for ketchup & napkins. Waitress gave me ketchup but quickly took it away & gave us one napkin each. One lemon & one small container of hot sauce was given. Our waitress was missing. We wanted more lemon, hot sauce & more ketchup, so the waitress just gave us the bill & walked away. They charged us a $5.00 service charge & stated no tip is included. My family and I had a horrible experience & we paid the bill in a credit card. They did not provide a pen to sign for it. I paid the bill & did not provide a tip. We will not be returning to this location anymore. Go at your own risk...

    Very friendly food very good and well worth the trip. It is hard to find traditional freshly made food from scratch. This is your place.

    The best Chaulafan I've ever had! And I've tried a lot in this area! Flavorful with lots of shrimp, chicken, pork with peppers and the sopa de bolla (weekends only) fresh and flavorful the staff were all smiles and accommodating! 5 stars in my book!

    Food is good but very very bad service and bad attitudes. Also pretty dirty.

    doesn’t live up to their advertising. I was excited to try this place as they boast about their fresh sea food (they have their own source but the place had less options than then any supermarket I’ve been to). Food was bland and the sopa marinera we ordered had canned meat for sure. Wait staff was ok at best and the outside could use a sweeping. Wanted to like this place but it falls short and would t recommend.

  • 3/5 Ritesh N. 3 years ago on Google
    FAST review. Food, Ambience, Service, Time. Food was okay. The Caldo de Bola was good, Shrimp rice too. The rest of the stuff was average. Nothing that makes you go "that was great!". Ambience is poor. It looks, feels and acts like a fast food place than a restaurant. Service was good. The server was courteous, got our orders straight, allowed time for us to settle down and have us space while we ate. The cutlery was plastic, probably as a safety measure during pandemic but that also shows that they want the easy way out. It gives you the feeling that is the approach to other things as well. Time taken to attend to us was average as we have seen. Overall, it fell short of what we expected. Is not a place we would go again.

    Food is great. But the SERVICE is what's bad. Had to ask for Ginger Ale that is in the fridge. Waitress says we are out of Ginger Ale without looking at the fridge I just looked at. But I'm staring at it from table. Whatever. Asked for Ketchup and was given to me then had to share the 1 Ketchup bottle back and forth with 3 other tables. Asked for napkins for the table of 3 and was given ....... 1 napkin. Why so cheap? Then came to pay the bill and were charged a $5.00 Service fee ? I asked what they was and they said "Service" I asked again you mean for the waitress that did a terrible job? They said yes, anyone who sits has to pay a $5.00 service fee. Well, not sure I'll be coming back here to eat unless it's take out. Food is great, service is terrible. Watch out for added service fees + Tips on top of that.

    I love the variety of seafood they offer. This is my place to go to get clams or shrimp. Whenever I am in the mood for white clam sauce, this is the place to get clams. I also love how they always have Ecuadorian soda in stock—Inca cola or manzana, my favorite ! 🥰

    My food never arrived. I was waiting about an hour. When i asked the waiter, she said that it will take longer. Then, another waiter came to me to tell me that they forgot to send my order to the kitchen. I paid for my drinks and left. I do not recommend.

Plus fast service too!! I mean what else is important when one is hungry?!?!!!! Thanks for such good foo, I'll never get bored!!!
