Suma Manq´a — Restaurant in Barcelona

Today I had the most horrible experiences possible. I live in London and I was in Barcelona visiting some friends and they took us to this place. I would give an overall star of 0 but it is not possible am afraid so would not recommend this place to anyone.

I never tried a Bolivian food before so my expectations were really high however this place had let me down and I won't come back again.

Let me start with that the portion size for the prices they charge you are extremely expensive for what u get. They are so overpriced for a latin American cuisine which are not a gourmet place at all. You will normally paid in a latino place for a good portion size plate maximum 13 euros but this place will charge you 20 euros minimum for a small plate.

My fiance order a bottle of water the price were around 3 euro from the menu and what you will normally expect is to get pure sealed bottle water, so when we get the water it came in a home made bottle and not a sealed bottle so from that I was a bit confused however I did not assume the worse but when when we taste the water bottle was horrible. I can difference between pure water and filter water. As soon as I drank the drink I noticed the filter taste so I asked the waitress why the water taste like that and if it was pure or filter they said it was filter from a machine they own. So obviously not happy with this I said to her I wanted to swap that water for a Coca-Cola instead as it cost the same price. She then said it was okey and took the bottle away.

A couple of minutes after, a second waitress came to ask what happened, she was wearing black shirt, black shorts, she was tall and skinny looking. She said this was the first time this is happening and not one else had complain before, she emphasis in that and I said all I wanted to get was pure water and not filter water and I want to drink something else instead. But she looked very upset and left.

So the food came and honestly we order a plate to share for 3 that cost us 54 euros and honestly that could only feed 2 not very hungry individuals. Barely meet and a lot of chips and onion to fill the plate. The chese they server were bad as well. As I said overall a bad experience with food.

To finish with the bill came and we saw they were charging us for the water we never drink and swap instead for a Coca-Cola. So not happy with this we decided to complain and said it so the first waitress was nice and apologise and said she will change the price. However the second waitress I previously mentioned came after her with a very angry and rude acctitute towards us with another bill in her hand and said "EVEN IF YOU DECIDED TO ORDER A COCACOLAA INSTEAD OF THE BOTTLE OF WATER YOU HAVE TO PAID FOR THE BOTTLE OF WATER AS IS NOT HER PROBLEM THAT WE DONT LIKE THE WATER THEY SELL AND WE HAVE TO PAID FOR BOTH" omgggg we are well travelled and we will go to eat to many restaurants but never never someone said this to us. And we said to her we are not paying for something we did not drink and did not like it. She then said "THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME AND SHE IS NTO GOING TO FIGHT WITH US AND IF THAT WAS THE BIG PROBLEM WE ARE MAKING OF SHE WILL GIVE US THE WATER FOR FREE, AND GIVE US AS A PRESENT INSTEAD" excuseeeeeeee we are not asking for present for anyone one we are talking about higher expectations of a place that charge this incredible expensive prices for a bad food and wanted to force us to paid for a drink we never drank and were not happy with and honestly this second lady was very rude I assumed she is the manager and I will recommend to the owners of the restaurant to offer her a customer service training and change her acctitute and learn that CUSTOMERS ARE FIRST AND ALWAYS...

Suma Manq’a is located in a good place of outsides of Barcelona and it is easy to arrive in metro. It is near "hospital de Sant Pau" and the old factory of "Estrella Damm".

In my opinion, the indoor is good ambiented in Bolivia and the decoration makes that you feel calm and comfortable. There are some pictures of people native and some folkloric clothes.

The menu has variety of dishes, there are diferent kind of typical soups, and a lot of meat dishes. The waiters explain you how is every dish and its ingredients and if you don't know what You can order, they try to suggest you.

I ordered a kawi soup which wasn't in the menu but the waiters suggested me to tasted it and it was a good idea because the dish had got a lot of ingredients, besides the meat, like a special kind of rice, some dry potatoes, among others.

I am going to return to this restaurant for sure. I recommend that people who like to taste different abroad food that they have to go. It is a good experience and...

Fatal, la carne estaba durísimo y seco , el sabor bien , amables a su manera . Como un laping 18 € , pero pague eso por comer un habas y ensalada, se lo comente a la chica que es dueña o lleva el restaurante , me dijo que lo tendrá en cuenta , pero no hizo nada , a pesar de que no había comido la carne . Me cobraron 19,50 . Un engaño , la cantidad a mi me da igual porque no soy de comer en cantidad , aún así me parece escaso, el plato es pequeño. Y deja mucho que desear la calidad _ precio, no se ajusta. Acabo de leer , la respuesta que me ha dado el plato lo he devuelto con todo el trozo de carne , no son los 18€ que me parece perfecto el precio , he visto el precio . Me parece muy caro , cobrarme 18 euros , cuando apenas he comido un poco de ensalada y habas , devolví el plato tal y como se ve en las fotos . Lo único que pude comer a Gusto fue la ensalada , un trozo de pata un poquito de habas. Señora hace un par de años yo frecuentaba , bastante el restaurante , y le había puntuado , con 5 estrellas , pero a usted se le subió los humos, miré el tomó despectivo , de la respuesta , que mire bien el precio? Claro que lo he visto. Y pagaría a gusto , si la comida hubiera estado a la altura . Si respuesta , me dice que he devuelto limpio el plato . Pregunte a su camarero, que en todo momento fue educado , el plato devolví tal como está...
