Pako Pepe — Restaurant in Maunabo

Worst restaurant experience EVER! First of all hard to tell from the street where the entrance is because there’s no hostess. Went in by the street entrance I asked a man that I thought was just another customer ( he worked there)where the entrance is and simply told me that the entrance was in the back side of restaurant. Got there, there’s people in line and no one helping. We waited nearly 45 minutes. Ordered appetizers sodas. They take your ID and hold it because people leave without paying AND it makes sense. Who would stay waiting for hours for bad service and food? Took about an hour or so to get appetizers. By the second hour two out of the four orders were canceled. The two orders left were one for shrimp and one chicken, we had elderly people hungry in our party so we thought that should provide some relief and get us our food quickly. Well my husband went by the bar to see what’s taking so long and the two cooks were drinking with the people at the bar. So now is the 3rd hour mark so we canceled both orders and again an ordeal to get that done. Our waitress not apologetic at all. The only happy people there were the people served at the bar that came for the loud music and drinks. Should’ve believed the reviews would’ve avoided this...

Ok so we arrived at 230 pm and the place was vitually empty. We were placed at a table where at 330 pm the sun started hitting me directly. By that pointva tiur bus had arrived filling up all the tables. I placed an order for appetizers and drinks. The drinks took about 15 minutes. At this time I decided to place our meal order as well. After 45 minutes the appetizers and food were all brought out atvthe same time. Anything I asked for was meet with at least a 10 minute wait. Including a bottle of water. The food was great flavorwise. Now throwing 3 shrimps on a skirt steak and calling it surf and turf was funny. But it did include about 12 ounces if churrasco. As usual what was advertised as octopus was without doubt the much cheaper squad sold frozen in most supermarketstye bifongo consisted if frozen plantain slices thrown in almost whole with green plantains. I asked about milk and egg use as one if our party is allergic and the waitress justvshrugged and said "I don't know". I also had to go get her while she was chatting with the other waitresses to make additional drink orders. Do not skip the ice cream shots. I would go again choose my own table and skip appetizers or only order them and drinks. And be ready for...
