El Chupa Cabra — Restaurant in Setúbal

I finally decided to try this restaurant on my birthday since I'm a Mexican person living in Setubal and had a very poor experience. The food, appart from small portions and tasteless, is not what it says. I asked for Tacos al Pastor and they gave me shredded chicken with pineapple on top. After thinking they might have confused my order, I politely told him that I think they got my order wrong.

Cute spot. But truly awful food. Worst tacos I have eaten. And green-tinged from the lighting made it worse. Properly served in a dust pan. Do not eat here. And the Bartender kept arguing with the female server loudly. Then he forgot my Margarita. Too much wrong here to ever give it a...
