El Sazón de Doña Eva — Restaurant in Upper Darby

I went in person within the past year and ordered Llapingachos which was really good but seemed a little too pricey for the price of the ingredients, intensity of preparation & compared to other menu items, although I am not an expert so maybe I was missing something. I also tried the Empanada de Verde which was pretty good. For a drink I had the Soursop smoothie which is a fruit I had never tried before & I loved it!

The service was great! The woman working seemed very nice. The atmosphere was quiet when I went and not too bright, and the wooden decor helps the vibe to be cozier.

I also got a delivery order from here. For appetizers, I tried the Chicharron con Yuca which was a little too greasy (rendered fat) and fatty (unrendered fat) for me but I think this might be normal for this dish, and the Caldo de Gallina which was good but I wasn’t a fan of the bone & skin being included in the soup. For my entree I got the Pechuga a la Plancha because it had been on my mind a lot and it was very tasty. 😋 I tried the Empanada de Viento for dessert which was very good - crisp & less greasy than the other Empanada I tried in person. I washed it all down with their homemade Quaker drink which I loved and can’t wait to...

Dined in with two friends for lunch,as we were in the area, the atmosphere was ok, aesthedically could use an upgrade, the food was okay, not a lot of seasoning, mostly bland, we ordered the arroz con pollo and the bandeja paisa. Food is pricey for the area. Only one waiter for the whole restaurant, even the beverages took long to arrive, can't blame the waiter for that though, he was very pleasant. Other than that, the dessert, tres leches, which I took to go, turned out was spoiled, smelled and tasted spoiled, had to throw away. We ordered 3 desserts. Lastly I asked to see the manager so that I can share a compliment about the waiter, but manager said she was too busy to come out. No one was there. Not very customer oriented. Would not go again or recommend...

Bad customer service all around.The waitress seemed like she didn't want to be bothered, she thought since I didn't look like them, she thought I didn't speak Spanish. Talk about racial profiling! Little did she know that I was Panamanian. They didn't have Ice, they charged for water, and she only gave me a spoon. She never came to my table and asked if I was OK, or needed anything. I heard her telling the others in Spanish the specials, but she never mentioned it to me. Usually I tip,even if the service was bad,but the service was horrible, and the ceviche was just Ok. I spent 27.66 on crappie service and terrible cold food. If your black, please do not go to...
