La Fiesta — Restaurant in London

Rotten ribs delivered twice in the same year so it’s with regret this will be the last order we will ever place from La Fiesta. Only because this problem has now happened to us twice We cannot give them the benefit of doubt anymore as it cannot be a coincidence. I’m really not happy because I liked the beef asado ribs from this place and I will miss them. I have a kosher flat mate and he can only eat meat that is kosher at home so every week we get a kosher deliveroo together. Ribs used to be good here but around a few months ago we ordered ribs and upon opening the aluminium container it smelt different than it usually does, actually it stank, but it’s expensive so I tried a few bites hoping it was ok but my flat mate too smelt the same from the other side of the table and two of the ribs in there were rotten, they tasted disgusting and were clearly off, I know what rotten meat smells like and it ruined the rest of our meal. I felt so sick I couldn’t even eat the good ribs and the steak and both of us ended up throwing the rest of the meat into the bin and wasting around £70 worth of food between us. To make matters worse I had a bad stomach from just these 5 bites or so for the next 2 days taking off work costing me another £500 in lost earnings as I’m self employed now. We assumed that this incident was a one off, maybe an old rib or two were accidentally overaged so we let it be.

Because it’s our favourite meat we gave them another few chance a month ago and it was ok again and we were happy.

Unfortunately, we ordered once again and once again disgusting smell upon opening. Same thing, rotten ribs again. Why did they do this? Why? Twice is not a coincidence. I’m sorry but while they do seem to age their meat, there is a complete difference between aged and old. Don’t they have someone checking and smelling the meat daily to make sure it’s ok or do they mix new batches with with the old letting some go rotten? Do they have a bad fridge and not fix it, or at worse do they do this to save money and not throw away rotten ribs?

I really hope the owners see this review and either change their procedures, their fridges or their penny pinching ways, whatever their reasons it’s happened twice so something is seriously wrong at La Fiesta sometimes, and this should not happen ever again to anyone else. It’s not a small issue, it’s...

I was walking past this restaurant earlier on today and a short man with a beard came hurtling out of the door right on top of me. I thought nothing of it and veered out of his way to avoid a harsh collision. However, this person then followed me up the road touching my hand with his as I walked in front of him. He then attempted to rub himself on me, which I managed to avoid.

Utterly confounded, I turned around to demand what he was doing, but he ran off into the nearest shop! A grown man acting in such a way! It was then I realised that I had actually been targeted, perhaps for the way I look? I eventually tracked him down to this restaurant, which he had run back to while I was in other shops looking for him, a chef and a woman were trying to distract me from confronting him, which makes the situation even more suspicious.

I told him in no uncertain terms that I did not appreciate his attention and found his deviant behaviour disgusting. I was made to feel that I should welcome this attention? I would be quite wary of leaving other females alone with him, partcularly where you have another woman working with him that supports this unacceptable behaviour.

And as to the way I look sir, well if people such as myself offend you, perhaps you...

The absolute worst dining experience of my life and I've had food poisoning from other restaurants. Food is terrible, overcooked and dry. Owner/'chef' will blame YOU for this. Laughable. Food is served on a gimmicky disposable bbq with half a piece of coal in it. The grill was not hot (I touched it) and lifted it up to see the measly piece of coal. Was in yhe restaurant for 2 and a half hours. 10 minutes eating, the rest all waiting for the one server (no blame on him, he was put in a very bad place) to serve a full restaurant.

The owner shouts abusively and his food is nothing short of terrible. When I asked if we could have a replacement on the poorly cooked items, we were denied. When asked if we could have a discount as half the food was an absolute disaster, we had to fight tooth and nail for only the service charge to be waived.

Do...
