"I used to come here all the time. It has always been a little on the expensive side, but they HAD great service and the food was very good. This quickly went downhill. The only waitress who was helpful and charismatic is no longer there. Now you're lucky to be acknowledged within 10 minutes of entering. The items and ingredients on the menu has never been constant with the actual meals, but its gotten way worse. Every time I go in there, the price increases, but this last visit I noticed that things have jumped up substantially. Nothing seems to be less than $15 on this menu and that includes appetizers. I mean, $16 for a bowl of soup? Yikes! The food, although good, isn't complicated compared to other South American restaurants in the area. I get that times are tough, but there are ways to keep costs down and not put the burden on the customer. Despite the food being good, the price has significantly over-shadowed the value of the meal and certainly the customer service. I ordered a spicy meal, the woman who served us NEVER came back. We were the only two people in the entire restaurant. I needed a drink so bad that I literally got up, left, went next door to the seafood place to get a drink, and came back. No one even noticed or came back to us for another 20 minutes. I had to go to the back counter and call for someone to give us our check."
