Taberna La Buha La Latina

We visited this restaurant with a group of 12 people after seeing a nearby magic show at Off Latina. We called the day before to make a reservation. During this call we asked if they would have room for 12 people to sit together AND to confirm that the restaurant closed at 1a (as stated on Google). It is not uncommon for Google to provide incorrect hours or for the kitchen to close early. However, the manager said they would sit 12 together and that indeed, the kitchen and restaurant remained open until 1a. We made the reservation.

Unfortunately, upon entering the restaurant they separated our parties to two separate tables of 6 each. We asked for many variations of putting the tables together, being understanding and respectful that we should not block exits or other customers. However, despite our reservation and previous conversation, the wait staff and manager were extremely rude. They were dismissive and did not comply to our previous agreement. After this, we ordered food, where the wait staff we should order soon because the kitchen closes at 1130p. Again, different than the information provided earlier. We were then kicked out of the restaurant around 1230a. The entire experience was very uncomfortable. To top it all off, there were many flies in the restaurant and near the kitchen. There was a large bag of open garbage next to our table, which was also attracting flies.

I would not recommend this restaurant due to their poor service, lack of transparency and uncleanliness.
