Best KPortal Reviews
Horrible experience! Food without taste. The avocado look that was from the day before. Plus, the food was more expensive than the prices online. They charge you a mandatory 18% tip when the service was mediocre. They didn't even bring water! I am sorry that I took my husband to have a chilean culinary experience and it was so disappointing!
Authentic Chilean food. Brings me right back to Talca, Chile lol. I’ve tried various items on their menu and have never been disappointed.
I was there tonight at about 8pm for dinner. There was a young guy and an older lady serving. The lady was pretty unfriendly the guys was very friendly. In order to have a successful restaurant or business for that matter, good food, friendly staff and clean restaurants is key. The food was great. The restaurant was nice and clean but the waitress not so friendly at all.
Dec, 16th 2022 after 3 years I went back today. Service was great. Server was great and food was AMAZING AS USUAL OR as I remembered from before. Today was my 1st time to this particular place since covid. 5 STARS FROM ME DON'T LEAVE WITHOUT TRYING A MILOJA
Great food! It truly reminds of being back in Chile. Almost bought a tear from my eye!! Hands down the best food I've had since ive been down in South Florida!
Today me and my wife decided to go and have lunch at Viva Chile Lindo ( Chilean Restaurant) around 5PM, our last time there ( 1 month ago), we had a really good service by a young Colombian guy, the food was good and prices aswell.
Today was the whole opposite unfortunately, and this time I invited my parents also.
Our server Ana was far the worst service I've ever had in a restaurant, I have family members and friends that go often there and they have mentioned to me about the really bad service that she gives to customers, that I at the time did not yet experience untill today.
The place was empty , it was our table (group of 6) and 1 other table with 1 person only...
The music was a bit loud when we got there, they eventually lowered it a little....
My first surprise was that the prices on the menu were a bit higher than the last time, some plates $3usd more , side plates some $1.00 more , empandas also a little higher....so mainly the whole menu went up a few dollars..
Which that's fine, but it's not updated on the Internet yet...
So Ana started taking our order one by one, using the word "TU" instead of "Usted" which in Spanish it's not formal at all and disrespectful when your working and giving customer service and talking to clients...
You must treat everyone with respect using the Term "Usted" (which is you, but in a kindly and respectful manner.
Second thing was when she approached with my son's plate at the table , he was distracted watching a video and his arms were on top of the table leaving her without room to put his plate, so she tells him " Saca las manos" which means (move your hands, but you can say it in a different and friendly manner, and not the way she said it).
So at that point I was getting upset and obviously this spoiled our whole lunch..
Meanwhile we were eating but before that, they give you bread with butter and some sauce called "Pebre" before they bring your food, just like Cheese Cake Factory or a lot of different restaurants mainly latin are used to this tradition, so in the middle of our meal I asked for more bread and she answered back saying I will add it to your order, that's when I asked her : Am I going to be charged for the extra Bread ? (Which is supposed to be complimentary) She said Yes the first order is free but any additional order , it will be charged to your bill.
The other times before when I went and actually the last time I went , I asked for additional bread and was not charge at all or was mentioned anything about it...
So I told her that I've been here before and was never charged for the bread and she said : "We always charged it and I've been working here more than 10 years..."
After that las interaction I got irritated and asked for the manager..At first she denied me to let me speak with him...telling me that he was in the Kitchen Busy and that doesn't like to speak with customers....
Which to me that was very strange, which owner of a restaurant doesn't want to know when some thing is wrong or the service isn't good..I'm the kind of person that when this gets to this level I ask for a manager... At this point it was necesarry.
She left to the cashier, I got up the table went back to her and asked her again for the manager and she changed the story telling me that the owner wasn't there and that he will be returning very late. The she tells me go outside and see if his truck is there...( And I was like ????couldn't believe what I was hearing)
Than I tell her if she can call him over the phone , and she says , "No I can't , I'm not allowed to call him".
At that point she was only saying nonsense..
Than she ask me why do you want to talk to the owner , is it because of the bread??
And I was like, probably , but several other things...
And than she tells me because I could give you some extra bread... I think she felt that she messed up and then brought 3 little tiny bread to the table...
I hope Brandon P the owner takes discipline actions. It's sad to know that good clients like myself will not go back to this location due to the poor service from this lady Ana.
We stopped in on a Saturday night while in the area late, it was around 9 pm. They had a DJ playing music. It was almost too loud, hard to speak with everyone at the table but it was lively. The empanadas were great!
Always is a pleasure to visits this place,the food is amazing, and the server they are so sweet
I must admit, we arrived at this restaurant hungry. We ordered an appetizer called palta rellena which was was an avocado split in half and filled with a shrimp salad. It was delicious however while we waited for it they brought out two hot rolls along with butter and a tasty tomato salsa. For our main course I enjoyed the parrilla and my wife had the breaded chicken. Excellent. Our server would not let us leave without trying dessert. We ordered the bread pudding. It was fantastic.
