"Unprofessional The evening started out well until a large group of finance Bros walked in. They immediately started making chants and being loud. No one told them anything so they continued to get more confident. It got to the point where one of the guys decided to jump on the congo drums and started disrupting the musicians from playing. Once again no one told this group anything. So another guy tried to jump in as well to the point that the female singer had to tell the guys to get off the stage. I had to back her up and yell at the guys because they were in a group of about 20 so they didn't care. The group continued to jump on stage and disrespectfully started banging on the drums. Another guy grabbed the mic and started yelling. The manager (female blonde) only stepped in after I had to tell the guys to cut it out. The manager then comes over to me and tells me that this is not that kind of restaurant and she's got it under control. I responded with she's unprofessional and had let this go on too long. She then responded with they are spending a lot of money. I then told her she's not from this country or culture and this had reached to a level of disrespect that is unforgiving. She then asked me to leave but never bothered to tell the group of men to leave. The whole restaurant was on my side applauding and backing me up when I told the guys to cut it out. Even the other employees did not bother to bring me my check until I asked for it. The singer also thanked me for helping out and the employees all apologized except for the manager. I am really bothered by this experience because it definitely has undertones of prejudice/racism. I strongly feel if the manager was not a white lady and the guys were a table of non white men that this would have played out very differently. How would the manager have more compassion for that one table but not the rest of the restaurant. Unless they come there often and slip her extra cash for allowing them to be crazy. Either way I will never support this establishment or any other establishments that Ramon Mario Zarate, Ewelina Sylvia Klopocka and Marcos Javier Stoart own. These owners should be ashamed of the kind of business they are running in a city where people work really hard to spend good money to enjoy themselves. Especially in these difficult financial times."

"Someone recommended this place to me because my favorite Mexican restaurant took one of my favorite dishes off the menu. Once I walked through the door I was excited at the menu but that ended quickly. We waited about 8 minutes to be seated in a completely empty restaurant. Once we sat down we had a waitress that didn't speak English which was no issue but they changed to one that did and she took forever to come. My wife is a vegetarian so she asked if she could just get cheese on the Quesadilla or add veggies. They said no only what's on the menu even though it says you can choose your own meat (so how is no meat not an option). Once again service was very slow in an empty restaurant (another family came towards the end of our meal). I had hope that the food would heal all buy sadly no. The food wasn't good, the mango drink I ordered was clearly watered down, the fish in my soup tasted very strange. The only thing that was good was the Churro my son ordered to go. Our meal came out to around $70, that felt like a $20-30 meal (mind you my wife didn't order anything). From what I read from other reviews there is a 15% tip added to your bill and we still tipped. Even my son (who likes everything) was disappointed. Sometimes I feel like I might have just went on a bad day but not this time. We will never go back to this place to eat. I'll probably just order my son a Churro to go because that was the one saving grace. I'm not sure why but it felt like we were being treated very bad from the moment we walked in."
