I was excited to have a fun movie night with friends and decided to try Cinépolis for the first time. Upon entering, the theater looked very clean and well-maintained, and the menu was intriguing. Unfortunately, the service completely ruined the experience.
From the moment we sat down, things started going wrong. Despite pressing our service button first, our waiter ignored us and took orders from everyone else in the theater before finally coming to us—making us the last to place our order. When our food arrived, it was relatively quick, but mistakes were already piling up. I specifically requested no ranch, yet they brought it anyway, and I had to ask again for the ketchup I originally ordered.
One of my friends ordered buffalo sauce, and we waited nearly 20 minutes for it to arrive—by then, his food was cold. We repeatedly pressed our service button, thinking the waiter would finally acknowledge us, but he continued taking other people’s orders instead. When the sauce finally arrived, we had to send the food back to be remade because it was no longer edible. To make matters worse, one of our appetizers, the chips and salsa, never arrived. When we brought it up to the waiter, he admitted he had completely forgotten and placed the order with only 30 minutes left in the movie—at that point, what was the point?
While the theater itself has a nice atmosphere, the service was incredibly disorganized and frustrating. The staff seemed careless about accuracy, and the overall experience was a waste of time and money. There was nothing “luxury” about this visit—just stress and disappointment. We won’t be coming back. 4/10.
Also, something that I almost forgot when we were paying at the beginning, we have to either add a credit card or pay cash upfront, which then they were later bring you the change back our server said that our bill was $76 which then when it came down to actually getting the bill, it ended up being way cheaper which to me is super un organized because when you go to any other restaurant when you order food, they put it into the system so you automatically know the customers breakdown of the bill.
