Mariscos El Pulpo — Restaurant in Joliet

I hate to give a restaurant a bad review but I came here with family a group of over 25 of us. I ordered my son a plain cheese quesadilla. The waitress asked if I wanted meat in it. I said "no, plain quesadilla please."

The quesadilla had pieces of shrimp cooked in it. My son is allergic to shrimp. I didn't notice until he was 3 bites in. I had to run out of the restaurant and get him benadryl. They didn't take off my entree nor my sons from my family's bill. When my MIL brought it to their attention and that I wanted the owners contact information, they asked why I didn't take my son to the hospital if it was that bad.

How can you work at a restaurant and not take food allergies seriously or know that there's severity levels...

Delicious I got camarones zarandeados they were good! rice didnt have any flavor to it, and it was just a salad on the side nothing special but I did love the shrimp, had camarones ala diabla too not as spicy as they should have been had a sweet taste to it too but it was delicious the sauce was really good! parking is in the back a bit tight but do able, there was tables available not busy at all for a saturday night they had a live band that was playing, they were good no complaints!! definitely asking people for song recommendations and all they played was good songs they werent bad! the waitresses were fast and efficient and on top of everything they were nice and made my paloma...

I love this place, but yesterday this lady was too much. We ordered GUACAMOLE, said it 3 times, and she gives us avocado slices. Then wanting some chips to go with the guacamole that she already didn’t give us, she handed us tostadas. Tostadas with guacamole instead of the chips she repeated back. And we went back to get the guacamole already one time, and this lady had the audacity to huff and puff like she was overwhelmed. Yeah, you’re bad at your job. Chips are not tostadas and guacamole is not avocado slices. She needs to go because baby you can’t. She repeated it back right and still ended...
