Llegamos a las 8:45 y ya son 11: 45 llevamos dos pedidos perdidos ni una agua Después de esperar dos horas, el primer pedido nos dicen que la libreta se les perdió y nos tocó irnos solo con las bebidas pagas, ya que la comida nunca llegó después de casi tres horas y media de espera. Estuvimos en la terraza y adentro todo el mundo servido. No recomiendo ese restaurante servicio muy malo. Algunos del personal no tienen la culpa de nota que hay error de gerencia….

Je ne le recommande pas pour regarder des matchs. La dernière fois que nous y sommes allés avec des amis, nous avons commandé un grand plateau pour quatre. On a attendu une heure pour être servis, & quand le plateau est enfin arrivé, c'était un petit plateau pour deux. On nous a alors proposé d'apportez les accompagnements supplémentaires pour compenser, mais ils sont arrivés dix minutes avant la fin du match. De plus, à un moment donné, nous avons demandé s'ils avaient un pichet de bière sans alcool, & on nous a répondu qu'on nous l'apporterait bientôt (ce qui à la fin n'a pas été le cas). Quand nous avons demandé pourquoi c'était si long, une autre serveuse nous a dit que ça n'existait pas & qu'il valait mieux commander autre chose. Pour couronner le tout, dans un restaurant, on s'attendrait à ce qu'ils paient un service de streaming pour diffuser le match, mais ils utilisaient un site pirate qui plantait constamment. Enfin, je trouve les prix assez élevés pour la quantité de nourriture, car même le grand plateau (à 119 $) suffit à peine pour deux personnes.

La nourriture était d'un très bon qualité quand même.

Overpriced for the quantity in the dishes... they should reduce their prices up to 50% to have a realistic price.
Food was ok, nothing of the other world.
Service was ok, waiting time 35 min to get an arepa & 40 min for a glass of water.
If you go don't go when you're starving cause you'll die of waiting.

Service vraiment nul! Attendre 2 heures pour bière pendant la coupe du monde ce n'est pas possible ! En plus l'arepa est à 27 $. C'est du vol . Sérieux je ne recommande malheureusement pas, j'avais hâte d'essayer dommage...
PS: on attend encore les 4 verres d'eau & le pichet de bière ! Nous avons demandé 3x à trois serveuses différentes qui se sont chacunes excusées pour le service de la précédente, mais aucune d'entre elles nous a servi!! Même pour la facture on a dû attendre un autre 45 min. Extrêmement déçue.

I like the concept, but lately they have risen prices too much, before one arepa was around $16 now they are charging $27 & portions are not too big for the price. Service is ok but too slow to pay the check.

Would not recommend this place for the food at all. 27$ for an arepa that is smaller than my hand, this is straight up robbery + the arepa wasn't even that good & they forgot to include a sauce.

Never eat there, you will regret it.
