El Sabor De Mi Pueblo — Restaurant in Cocoa

Updated- The first time I came to this restaurant was sort of nice and the food was good. Today, my second time, the food was great! but the service was the worst I have experienced in a long time. First, I was the second customer in the restaurant. They took their time to come to me. The girl who serviced me or the waitress did not know any of the questions that I asked. Who brought my order to the table was the chef or the lady that was in charge of cooking she was nice with a warm smile, and the taste of the dish was incredible. After she left, I needed the utensils, so I went to the cashier (same waitress who did not prepare the table I chose to sit) to ask for the utensils. Halfway through, I decided to leave. I asked for the rest of my dinner to go. Then they brought me the bill, I asked for the name of the lady who prepared my food. The same waitress did not know her name, so I asked her to go and asked. She was a little reluctant, but she came back with Verona or Veronica as the chef name. As I went to the chef to give her my gratitude for the way she serviced me, I left the bill holder with cash and my credit card and asked them to charge me. There were only 2 girls chatting with a third one, but as I came back, one of them asked me how I was going to pay. I was surprised, I left the bill holder with everything inside, but none of them were able to take care of the bill. I was still the second customer. I took back the bill holder, opened it, and took back the cash ( it was the tip). I handled the credit card to the waitress/cashier so she could charge me. When the waitress turned around the screen of the computer to add the tip. I SKIPED THE TIP and went on my way. I won't ever ever go to the 'El Sabor de mi campo' restaurant again. You should give thank you to the lady that cook for your customer because without her you won't be able to maintain your restaurant! Poor quality...

Man, this place was awesome! Great atmosphere, a LOT of space for bigger parties, & a total hometown vibe if you’re a native Catracho. The baleadas are massive, so head’s up; one should do it. The pupusas meal is great to share among 2 or 3, & try the smoothies! They’re made with organic coconut milk, so easy on the tummy, too! And they use sugar in the raw instead of white sugar which you know is better for you, so I TOTALLY recommend it!

Plenty of leftovers, & the staff is friendly with good English, so feel free to know you’ll order in confidence bcus they’ll explain each delicious meal clearly for you.

Or you can just take my word for it & try one of everything like I’m doing.

Up next, their Pollo Con Tajadas aka fried chicken & sliced fried plantain with shredded cabbage & delicious sauces on it. Incredible.

AND they have native take home goodies, too! So I got some semitas y polvorones for my mushroom coffee in the...

I went here for lunch with friends and family , and at first, I wasn't sure if this place was a good decision to eat here and I'll tell you why. It's a bit of a " hole in the wall" kinda place , but we were hungry, and it didn't deter us from eating here. The food was delicious !! It reminded me of the food my mother used to cook for me as a child. Unfortunately, they were understaffed, so because of that, the service lacked a little, the appearance of the place does need attention , and the decore needs help as well , but at least the most important part , the " food" is great . I hope they can improve this location so they can attract more clientele and become...
