Paracas II — Restaurant in Berlin

Was here on a special event so there might be changes on time and service.

Food Quality: very good mix of latin flavours and the textures of all the different options.

Portions: very abundant and big plates as can be seen in the pictures.

Drinks: I had a non alcoholic cocktail and felt it was a bit too sweet for me. All the other drinks and options seem to have been quite nice.

Price: $$ very affordable and worth every euro.

Service: people were very friendly and tried to cater our needs as fast as possible. We were a large birthday group table.

Atmosphere: there are plenty of tables on the ground floor in a nice cosy environment, but also a large area in the basement which used to be a bowling alley and used mostly for events (such as the one i was in)

Highlights: the bowling alley area is a great place for events and celebrating birthdays as you get a large area you can make all the noise you want and even set your own music and have a little dance party. The food is also a great thing...

We visited the restaurant yesterday. The food ordered was ok, however my (vegetarian) girlfriend ordered a vegetarian dish, and halfway into it it turned out chicken was in it. We hoped to assume it was seitan or some other non meat alternative, but upon inspection we had to accept it was not. We informed our waiter, whose first reaction was to say he gave the vegetarian order to the kitchen (which did not change anything with the fact that it was not). He said he would check it out with the kitchen, but then basically ignored us and avoided our table altogether. It was almost comical. A colleague of his then came to pick up the dishes dozens of minutes later. We also informed him about the issue, and he was apologetic, which was at least some sort of a reaction (and we did not expect much). Eventually we got to pay and left it like that. Disappointing...

It was an interesting experience. There was nice music and at the tables outside (to the Main Street) it was difficult to get served. After 20 min we got a Menü but no order possibility so we changed to the inside. The food took roughly 1.5 hrs. which is a bit annoying when you do not get any I information upfront. The second drink took very long and only after two reminders. The food was split. I ordered quesadillas vegetarian and it was made with pork. The quality and taste was very good - just a bit surprising when ordering vegetarian. The second good was lamb 🐑 which was not good. The taste and combination was not tasting well. I recommend to go here with enough time (2 hrs) and choosing the right food - then it will be awesome. From price perspective I paid for 2 people 40€ with one drink each so it’s...
