So context is I don’t speak Spanish, and this place is obviously all Spanish speaking, which is why I wanted to try good authentic food like this. But just because I don’t know the language, doesn’t mean that they should scam me. What happened was, I pointed at the blue section of $11 and wanted the seafood soup. When the food came, it was a very nice portion, so I thought to myself this is such a value place. I wanted rice, seeing that rice was not served. Plot twist: when I tried to pay, they literally put 24 dollars, so I was super confused. After some back and forth confirming, they basically served me the special seafood soup that’s $17 dollars and rice was $3.5. First of all, 17+3.5= 20.5, tax in your restaurant is not $3.5 bruh. More importantly, it is just pure scam to serve a big portion to a nonSpanish speaker first timer and expect him to know that it’s a different thing than the $11 that he ordered. Can’t just serve bigger portions and just want more profit. I asked for $11, give me small portion bruh, im not that eager to eat your food… But yea, they told me to not come back, which I would humbly comply 🤷♂️
