Excelente un sabor meramente mexicano.

I used to visit this place often with my family, almost every weekend. Today, I came with a friend to enjoy some traditional Veracruz dishes, but the experience was very disappointing.

The server didn't take our order until 40 minutes after we sat down, & even then, things didn't improve. After waiting for our food, we realized the waiter never actually submitted our order. At that point, we decided to leave without even having a meal.

To make matters worse, I had to pay for parking twice. As a Mexican, I was left wondering: Was this the server's first day on the job? Were they inexperienced, uninterested, or worse, indifferent?

It's a shame because I always tip well to support my culture. Will I return? I'm not sure, but this was a huge letdown.
