Some of the worst food I have ever eaten. First of all, when you open a restaurant that is in the same location as a previous restaurant, CLEAN the place! The windows had the same grease from the previous restaurant and the ceilings and walls were DIRTY, GREASY, and YELLOWED. Also, if you can't afford to clean the floors with the greasy linoleum and at least put in some new tables, DO NOT OPEN!! The little tables in the middle were painted black with chips of paint coming off. I can only hope that the paint they used was NON-TOXIC!! Also, UPDATE your menus. When I asked what type of bottled water they had, I was told by the waitress that they only had tap water. When I asked if I could have a side salad, I was told they don't offer that. Why were these items on the menu if you DO NOT offer them. Then the waitress told me they had pink lemonade but not to order it because another customer did and it was "watery". When I ordered the grilled chicken breasts, I specifically asked if they were actually grilled or fried, I was told they were grilled. When my food was brought out, the chicken breasts were lightly breaded and fried, NOT GRILLED. Also, my order was brought out with white rice not the Puerto Rican rice. When my order came back, I miraculously had beans and lettuce on my plate. Also, my son's order had to be sent because he was given white rice and NOT Puerto Rican rice. That being said, the taste of the food was not anything to write home about. I feel that this restaurant should know better especially since they are already in the restaurant business. I would hate to see what there East Chicago location is like. Also, I am sick and tired of all the good reviews. It seems like people just eat anything anymore without a standard of quality and knowing what's good. This is just another mediocre Hobart restaurant. Tania's, CLEAN this place up !!! P.S. I glad I didn't get to see the...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreLast sundays visit, at least 4 tables and we sat ourselves and I had to clean the table myself since there were no clean tables. The server/cashier was over worked had too much going on. Props to her. Apps were burnt. Bacalao, alcapurria and chuletas were burnt. Bacalao was so burnt and they served it with limón š Smallest papa rellena and fritura Iāve ever had and $3-4 a piece! Jibarito de ribeye was $19 but it doesnāt come w cheese, thatās extra! This was the skinniest jibarito Iāve ever seen in my life. And most expensive! Esp coming from Chicago this place was expensive. Chuletas were overly crispy. Service was slow they were too busy for one server in front in a Sunday. They have a variety of all Latino cultures so be prepared. Wouldnāt go back, not my style. Thereās not one thing they āspecializeā in. Glad theyāre in...
