El Jardín — Restaurant in Tronadora

Terrible service and terrible overpriced food. My friend and I sat down at a table and no one came up to us to give us a menu. A few minutes later, a group arrived and they were seated and given menus right away. I finally got tired of waiting so I went inside to the front to get a menu myself. When we were ready to order, again, no one came to take our order. Finally after over 10 minutes of waiting, I finally raised my hand and a waiter came over after a few minutes to take our order. We ordered the chicken tortilla soup, el jardín spaghetti; and a strawberry smoothie. Both the soup and pasta were very bland. The vegetables in the pasta were still raw and hard.

It was more like a caramel cake and not overly sweet. I'd recommend any of the items we had especially for the...

14,500 Colones / £22.52 for two cappuccinos, a slice of banana bread and a brownie. Insane prices. Menu quotes prices excluding 13% tax which is misleading, as they’re not optional. Couldn’t believe how expensive it was. Yes the waiters are polite and you’ve put the cake in the microwave for 10 seconds and added some sauce, but 2 coffees and 2 small cakes for almost 15k is ridiculous. Stinks of profiteering as you’ve nowhere else to go, it being inside a...
