Burger King is an American restaurant chain that has certain standards and expectations as an American restaurant chain. In Peru, they skimp on everything. Instead of getting a normal size, small fry, they give you a kids meal size, small fry, and then give it to you cold and short on fries. Instead of giving you a normal size small drink, you get screwed getting a kids' meal size, small drink, then they make excuses and act, and you don't know the difference. The interesting thing is that you are paying the same price in the US for better quality food and portion size, and the meal is hot. In Peru, none of the people, including the management, know proper customer service, food portion size , and that the meals are to be hot and not cold when served. As an American who travels the world dining in many restaurants and spend 8 years in Peru, giving them the benefit of the doubt, its time I just say the truth like it is. Not one American food chain in Lima follows the US Standards of the Chain Restaurants. They all skimp on food quality, portion size, and damn sure they have no training in customer service. I take my Peruvian family for an American dining experience, I expect an American dining experience like we get in the US, not happening- its an embarrassment. It's only go to people who are ignorant and never had the US standards of portion size, food quality, napkins on the table, drink refills , getting more than 1 ketchup packet with your half empty fries that are served cold.
It's obvious what the US Restaurant chains are used for in Peru. it's not for a good franchise experience because no one give a damn about making sure they follow US Frachise quality control and...
Read moreI recently visited a Burger King in Peru, and the experience was far from what I expected, especially when it came to their signature Whopper. The quality of the meat was extremely low—it was dry and lacked flavor. The taste was nothing like what you get in the USA, where the Whopper is juicy and flavorful. Here, it feels like an entirely different product.
To make matters worse, I paid 20 soles for a kids’ meal. At today’s exchange rate, that’s roughly $5.30 USD. While this is about the same price you’d pay in the U.S., the quality and portion sizes in Peru just don’t compare. It’s frustrating to be paying the same amount for a significantly worse experience.
Additionally, the restaurant was filthy. The place was crowded, trash was everywhere, and tables were barely cleaned. Customers had to clean their own tables just to sit down. For a brand like Burger King, I expected much better—especially for something like the Whopper, which is supposed to be their flagship item. Overall, it was a disappointing experience, and I wouldn’t recommend it unless...
Read moreIt's a decent place. You can usually find good deals here. Downside is that the place is shared with a Pizza Hut so you can expect people from the other side coming and going as the pizza place runs out of tables. Sometimes it's really difficult to find a place to sit since people tend to stay for a chitchat. Take waiting time into consideration too. And there is no table service. Also, during weekend the place is open 24 hours but it's really really crowded during night until...
