Vrentino Restaurant — Restaurant in Baja California Sur

What used to be one of our favorite restaurants in the 4 years we've lived in La Paz is a shell of what it once was. The chef decided in the last year that she was going to make the "green peppers" on the shakshuka the spiciest peppers available and no, she will not make it not-spicy, like a proper recipe of shakshuka, and no, the menu does not say it's spicy.

Even paying was slow as we had to go to the cashier. I don’t recommend this restaurant for dinner. There was one sever for the entire restaurant.
