Restaurante Mondongo's El Poblado

Honestly I wasn't that impressed. The menu is very simple so I tried to order a couple of things a la carte because what I wanted was not already in a meal set. Instead of honoring my request I was told that I was going to be charged for a meal set (which cost more) and they would substitute for what I actually wanted. They ended up bringing me a meal set out with double the portions and one of my items a la carte so technically I would have been paying 45,000 pesos for a meal that really should have been about 23,000 pesos if it were a la carte like I requested. When I asked the manager about it she first attempted to not alter my meal because she claimed that I had touched it which I had not. She then requested that I just take the items home which I didn't want to do because my hotel does not have a microwave plus I have specifically asked for a certain size portion when I was ordering because I knew I wasn't going to be able to eat much. The manager and waiter seemed angry that I wanted to change the meal. Honestly it was just too big of a portion for me and I really felt like they were trying to get my bill to a minimum rate because we are in a tourist area instead of just letting me order what I wanted for the a la carte rates. Ultimately with the anger I sense from them I ended up just telling them to let me only do the beans and the beer that I had already had cuz I just felt uncomfortable like are you guys going to spit in my food or what like are you upset that I'm not taking what you're giving me which I always find as an issue. yes travelers are coming to these various countries but I don't think anybody ever thinks about how we are always overcharge every place we go and it's quite frankly annoying so ultimately I didn't eat what I wanted to eat and then they wanted to charge me service and I'm like why would I be paying service if I didn't get what I wanted and y'all were upset about it. so no I don't know if I would ever eat at this place again I'm not going to say it's bad because maybe your experience would be better but just be cautious I guess.
