Cafe El Molino Restaurant — Restaurant in Lynn

So use to a regular there with my wife, my wife started to notice that we where being over charge, we went with lots of friend once and we notice the bill to be a lot we ask she get out the bill and sure enough we where paying for our table and the one next to us how that happens, we’ll we went months later with other couples and again we wher being over charge the waitress got the manager I believe it’s the owners daughter she argued with us that the bill was correct only to find out through a friend that works there that they did charge us $150 over, so I stoped going there but just this passed Friday was in the area waiting for a late plan to board had 4hrs to play and went there with my wife daughter and cousin, my wife ordered soup for $20 my daughter order pasta $20 and my cousin order chicken and rice for $20 2 Pepsi and two beers the bill can’t $98 they over charge 5 dollars on each plate because Alfredo sauce is more they didn’t have beef so they use some other kind of meat which my wife said it was beef and for rice and chicken they said plantain didn’t come with so that why they charge $5 but the menu doesn’t said none off the waitress said that the cook told here to put that price so I spoke the owner he went to the back spoke to the cook and said the bill was going to be fix she came back with $6 dollars off the bill she went back and took another $5 dollars off be didn’t want to fix the bill with I’m only supposed to pay $76 so I gave her the correct amount and then she has the audacity to tell me where’s her tip I said go ask the cook he might have it…. I will never go back there in my life ever time I went before it was $600 or more ya can kiss...

Buyer beware. This place charges you a 15% “tax” in a state that charges 6.25%. After reviewing my bill multiple times and adding up the figures I was still not able to account for the extra $20 on my bill. When I asked the waitress about the discrepancy she explained to me that she was new. Of course they only provide you with written itemized bill that does not disclose tax or tip. I had the waitress add up the figures that were written on this paper receipt in order to verify the amount and to ensure my math was properly calculated. She also fell over $20 short. She proceeded to inform me that the bar included a 15% tax. When I asked if that 15% included tip she played the part and immediately responded no. The state of MA charges no more than 6.25% in tax. This restaurant is stealing from consumers. I’m always a happy tipper. Not when you’re stealing from me. Esto no es la Republica Dominicana. Aprendan a negociar. I will spread word and make it a point to never give this...

Extremely bad service! Don't expect friendly banter, a smile, a thank you, or getting checked up on. When I walked into the restaurant the hostess just stared at me and did not even approach me, I had to walk over to her and ask to be seated. Later she dropped off my food at the table without saying a word and walk away. She never checked on me till it was time to go. One thing they are good at is making you feel unwelcomed. I had the rice and beans with steak. The rice was good but the bean was 10% beans solids and 90% broth. The steak consisted of 25% cartilage and tendons that I spend most of the time spitting out onto a napkin. Don't waste you time...
