La Época de Oro — Restaurant in Jalisco

Food: was terrible. I'm talking 2/10. We ordered chicken enchiladas and the cheese looked tasty, toasty brown/melted. It was cold and broke in half. Food was flavourless and tasted like it was pre cooked about 3-4 days before. Don't be fooled by the pictures.

Service: it was decent but they add 10% tipping, which is unheard of, in most establishments.

This is a review from a Tourist. Please just go to La Chata restaurant. Is better and nearby...
