My post is primarily regarding the "manager" of El Jardin in Columbia Slow service and poor , meaning none, attentiveness to our table. When delivering food she dripped a trail of enchilada sauce all the way and by our table (we would have to step in it to leave). When we mentioned it she ignored it.

Chile relleno was better than the tamale but honestly more oil than anything else. I ordered half green sauce and half red so that I could taste both. They were both rather ordinary. Nothing special. Chips were okay and salsa was alright. I was told they didn’t have hot sauce. Think that’ll be my...
