Amazonas Sabor Latino — Restaurant in Nuremberg

The place looked really nice. Many items from South America, flags, good music etc so we were really hyped for the food.

We asked how long it takes to prepare since we came with children and the server only replied "depends on what you order". So we told him what we wanted to order and still received no reply on an estimate of time we would have to wait.

The entry, a ceviche, was really good.

Afterwards we waited for our food while the children drew with papers and pencils provided by the restaurant.

From the main dishes: a fried fish, a pabellon criollo from Venezuela, and a casado from Costa Rica. The only good one was the fried fish. The pabellon criollo and the casado tasted bland. The beans of the casado lacked flavour and the meat from the pabellon had barely any taste.

The worst of all was a papaya juice that was super watered down 👎. We did not even finish drinking it.

At the end we tried to make conversation with the server and asked "who owns this restaurant? Are they from somewhere in south America? The reply was "many people from South America work here and one German". Not even once did they ask how the food was or if everything was okay or asked if we need anything more.

Tldr: would never go again, very disappointed. Bad service...

Based on the other reviews I had high hopes for this place. After having visited I walk away with the impression that the other reviewers have low expectations and have never had real empanadas. Let's start with the seating. Inside is extremely hot. Outside you are bathed odor of the cooking grease. The shell of the empanadas is the highlight. Don't think I have ever said that before. The shell is a standout. Unfortunately, it is let down by uninspired filling. Someone seems to have tried to hit the easy button vs actually putting in any effort. The kitchen seems to be overwhelmed if they receive more than a 1/2 order at a time. Be prepared for a very long wait if others are ordering. This is calibrated to the local norms. Then there is the price. Looks very favorable on the menu. Then when you receive your order. You realize how little you are actually getting for the money. Rather over priced given the quality and portion size. If I could, I would rate the experience a 2.5. as that is not possible. I...

We were 8. we called beforehand to check if they could receive us and they said they were afull but we could wait in the bar. We waited for little time but they took around 15 minutes to just give us the menus and other 10 to take the order. The order took 1 hour, maybe a bit more and when we asked the only girl that spoke Spanish, she said she only worked taking the orders. After we insisted on cancelling our order and leaving, the order came in 5 minutes. The orders came incomplete, the bandejas paisas came without the chorizo, the avocado portion came with 1/16 of an avocado mixed with tomato. The chicarrón portion was small and most of the plate was made out of rice. For the price it’s just not worth it and coming from a Colombian person, it doesn’t satisfy. The extras also didn’t came. Save your money, go somewhere else. I would like to shoutout to Artem who worked...
