La Centroamericana Restaurant — Restaurant in San Antonio

A friend of ours brought us a meal from this restaurant 2 days ago and it was absolutely fantastic. Since it was so good we decided to go there ourselves and order today. We got 2 meals. 1 that we had already tried and 1 new one. It was terrible. To begin with, we are certain they gave us dried out leftovers from yesterday. The meat was so dry it was hard to swallow it without choking. Also, one of the meals they gave us was not the one we ordered. And the last complaint is that there was so much cilantro on both dishes that it was hard to taste anything but cilantro. Every part of both meals was saturated with it as if they just dumped tons of cilantro on them to hide the stale old taste of giving us food that was cooked yesterday. The food our friend brought us from this place was really fantastic but the food we received when we ordered ourselves was repulsive. I guess that means you have a 50/50 chance of getting good food or bad here. I would suggest not going early. We went around 10am and I think that may be why we were given nasty leftovers instead...
