Topic: New Mexican Restaurant Posted: 16/July/2016 at 19:14 |
We come there often for lunch, the great vieuw and a nice glass of beer for a Nice price. For many years now. Never for diner, once they want to put us with 5 people at a small round tabel and that was not acceptable, but they want to give us no other table! The people who works in the daytime, they know you and they are friendly and kind as Always. But the food they served is becoming so bad......for example, the sate. They were Always very delicieus but now...the meat t is fabric mate, very dry and taste so very bad. Baguettes are not crispy and I can going on that wat. Is's a Shame for such a Nice place as iT was. I hope this Will change but I don't believe in it. Sorry for my English

Spot on. We used to go first night and last night, every trip. Now I'm just another tourist in just another tourist restaurant. Nothing special any more about the place. At least Cais Velho are always pleased to see us.

It used to be quite classy, a treat to dine there, now it's lost all its sparkle and atmosphere, no one treats you like a valued customer, it's like your just a pawn in the game and they want to get to the end game. We used to know many of the staff, to be recognised and greeted as a friend was great, that's all gone, it's become a run of the mill tourist restaurant, it really is missing Ricardo, no doubt about it.

We thought the service at Urban Pizza was very poor. Only about a dozen in but it was like pulling teeth ordering and then trying to get some condiments. Seemed like the staff were more intersted in larking about and posing.

Personally it's another I avoid, mate. "Bruschetta" made from pitta bread, "focaccia" made from regular pizza base and Hawaiian pizza with no ham is not my idea of what makes a good pizza restaurant. Oh and €3 for a jug of water that at best has come from a 45c. 5 litre container doesn't help either.Â

Yes, Ricardo is there overseeing, he is from the family that owns it as well as Cabana Fresca and Flavours, he used to be overseeing CB but he's moved across to this their latest addition.

Finally tried it on Saturday. Better than Mi Sombrero, but not fantastic. I would go again if someone else wanted to, but would not recommend it to anyone.

Our vegetarian friends really like it too Col, but when we went - also 2014 I think - we thought €8 for a bowl of doritos with a spoonful of salsa on it was robbery, and my fajita had a couple of strips of watery chicken in it, along with a jalapeno but no sauce to speak of, and refried beans that were more like lumpy gravy...  |
You have a good memory Perry, I can't remember what I ate yesterday
