Chico's Restaurant - Bar — Restaurant in Compostela

Been before a few times and have enjoyed the experience. Today not so much. Went for dinner and it was not as busy as usual. We sat at the beach which affords a lovely view, but that's where the fun stopped. Awful service to say the least. We were neglected from the start, beverage service took forever, the table that arrived 15 minutes after us received their drinks and appetizers way before we received our drinks. We had a beer and a Margherita, nothing special. We ordered guacamole and when it arrived it was flattened out and included very stale chips. My wife excused herself to the bathroom and that's when she saw our server putting his finger in another customers guacamole and taste it. Then smooth it out for his other guests. Disturbing. We were a little apprehensive when our dinners approached, but no need to worry, the flies where the main problem. I understand we were outside, but consider fans or some netting to alleviate the problem. I could go on but we will not come back and encourage you to do the same. Oh and an additional 5 percent charge for...

It was recommended - but we had a mixed experience.

Best parts: grilled snapper (Zarandeado) was excellent. Shrimp ceviche was good.

Not so great: VERY loud at 2pm on a weekday. Had like 3 mariachi bands all around playing different music which made for NOT a relaxing meal. lobsters were tiny and full of eggs. The amount of meat from one lobster was the size of one of my fingers. Maybe harvest lobsters after they have laid eggs so the population is sustainable? I would not order these again. fish ceviche was pulverized and not great texture or flavor people try to sell things at your table every 2 minutes. Also doesn’t make for a relaxing meal.

They have some good food but seems like they are going for quantity of people which...

Well, we stopped on our way back from tequila and wanted a nice place to eat and have some drinks for the 5 of us. Very busy, multiple buses parked near by. We have a friend that has a house in chacala, we went there on their recommendation. So, we were seated, drinks were served, menus read then after the waiter took the second order of food, turned around to a table of 3 who came half an hour after us and he took their order then left. Gotta say that has got to be one of the rudest experiences in our life...just dump us half way through our order ...19 minutes later some kid shows up and tried to take our order..,.we had already worked out what we owed and left it on the table and left. Do not recommend this place, rude...
