Disappointing Service and Overcharged at Salud

I visited Salud last night, after a colleague recommended it. As someone who tries new places weekly while traveling, I was looking forward to this one. Unfortunately, it was a letdown.

I arrived around 9 PM, and the waitress seemed unhappy to see me. She wasn’t at the entry area when I arrived, and when she finally approached, she informed me that the kitchen had limited options. When I asked what was available, her response was vague, offering "nachos" as if the kitchen was nearly closed. After some back and forth, she mentioned they also had burritos, tacos, and ribs, making it clear the kitchen was open, just with limited enthusiasm from her end.

Her attitude throughout the ordering process was frustrating. She seemed annoyed that I didn’t pick the closest table and did a poor job explaining the difference between tacos and tortillas, and what was included in one Taco order. I guess one taco was priced at €9.90.Unheard of ☺️. eventually ordered a burrito (€18-19), hoping for something substantial given the price.

The burrito itself was decent, but when I ordered a Kaiserspritzer, she brought me a Hugo instead without asking me whether I was OK with that. Hugo, wasn’t a bad drink but it wasn’t what I asked for. The final straw was when I received the bill, and I noticed I was charged €6.50 when Kaiser normally is between 4 to 5 euros.. Although I rounded the bill to €27, being overcharged for a drink I didn’t order left a sour taste. Especially when I paid a premium amount for a burrito in a small city in Austria.

While the food was passable, the service was unpleasant, and I felt overcharged. I won’t be returning, and I’ll make sure to let my colleague know about the unpleasant experience.

Thanks to the cooks for a decent meal.
