Overall Rating: 5...

Major disappointment, (it’s a tourist trap) mediocre food, don’t know what the hype is about. Ordered ceviche - 2.5 out of 5 for taste- it’s a large portion & good value for price, but taste is at most mediocre - fish is fresh, but not delicious. Ordered the cream of the ocean soup - 3 out of 5, definitely not something to ever wait in line for or to come back for. Bread is decent. Pasta - fettuccine Alfredo is like a food court meal, but portion size is very large and it is a good size value if you are into empty calories - the taste is meh.

The cherry on the top - while multiple groups are still dining, the staff cleans other tables with potent, strong smelling chemicals (right next to us), the smell is the same after Starbucks cleans their toilet at the end of the day. It’s horrible when you are dining. We were a large group and asked to cancel our main courses because of this. When we told the manager, she didn’t seem to care and had the attitude of “we have many clients and you, “clients” will keep revolving. Yep, we are just another tourist, just another experience they care nothing about.

The only thing this place delivers on is large portions for less cost. I’d rather pay more and eat delicious food without the ridiculous bathroom chemical smell next to my food. The smell was there for at least 20 minutes - the whole time while we were waiting to pay and pack up our food.

This place came recommended several times, but was a disappointment, another tourist trap hyped up (likely because of their generous portion size). Better leave this on the bottom of your list if you are not convinced...

Mediocre cooking. The staff is indifferent to your experience - they would disinfect a nearby table with some cheap spray and make it smell like a fresh Starbucks toilet around your table, which is super unappetizing and kills any vibe to eat. Imagine you are having your appetizer and it starts to smell like a familiar fresh bathroom smell at Starbucks toilet - that's how it will be for you if you have a table next to you get vacated and cleaned. If you can't imagine what I'm talking about then just simply spray Windex or Mr Clean or something at the other side of your table today at home during dinner - see how you would enjoy your dinner after that.

The worst part is that the staff at Wacky would not understand it. It's such a touristy place with such high traffic that they would not give a flying fk about something displeasing to their customers.

The food is truly mediocre. It does not worth the wait and the price they charge. Whoever post raving reviews about this culinary underachiever - I don't share your enthusiasm. This is a subpar dining establishment because of its ignorant staff and food-court food. Not...
