    Food was delicious, table side made guacamole was just brought out in a bowl. Guacamole came out after 38 minutes from ordering it. Food was brought out after 51 minutes after ordering. When I asked for the check it took a while to get it. Cashier came with the a credit card machine but said he needed to get the other machine since I was paying with AMEX. Ten minutes went by, so I got up with bill and credit card and went to the cashier, he apologized and said he was charging the credit card terminal because it was dead. Luckily someone had a phone credit card machine app and they were able to charge me. Ambience is nice except for the 8 or 10 tv screens hung from the ceiling on a loop showcasing their main dishes, looks kind of tacky. I would go again because their food is delicious, but would hope for better service.

    Los alimentos excelentes. Disfrutamos de un Chile en Nogada, motivo por el que mínimo un a vez al año visitamos el restaurante, y un Volcán de Cajeta. Se puede conversar tranquilamente porque el nivel de ruido es bajo y depende solo de los comensales (no hay música u otros ruidos). Como es un local que tiene el acceso directo de la calle, en las primeras mesas puede ser algo molesto la entrada y salida de los clientes, la apertura de la puerta o la entrada de viento, frío, ruido. Si esto es importante para ti, al reservar pide que lo consideren. La atención excelente, aunque en esta ocasión tardaron un poco en preparar los alimentos y entregar la cuenta por la cantidad de clientes que tenían.
