I had a pretty bad experience here, girlfriend mentioned contigo's reviews here as we were headed to the other peruvian restaurant which name i wont mention here. We were closer to contigo so we drove there.
When we arrived there were only a handful of people, the ecuador vs honduras game was on, so it was pretty quiet, with the exception of the soccer commentators.
anyway, we sit, order a bandeja, and a michelada, the place was as clean as you'd expect a bar/restaurant to be.
food comes, and it is a bandeja which has hot dog sausages, and other meats. I wasn't expecting to have hot dogs topping a $27 plate, but oh well.
I noticed there were no sides with the food, mention to waitress. She said that the plate came with no sides. So i ordered a side of rice, and a side of beans.
We eat the food, the beef was ok, the chicken had a ton of pepper on it, and the pork chop was half fat, half pork..
I then remember having seen something about cassava included in the plate. When i ask the waitress again, she goes to the cook, comes back and said the cook must have been distracted by the game (mind you, this is the reason i ordered rice & beans in the first place... because i though, or she said that the plate didn't come with anything as a side).
once i get the bill, they charge me $4 for a cup of rice, $4 for a cup of beans... total for everything $54. which seemed kind of high, paid, left a 10 percent tip (since the service was lousy)..
When we drive off, i do the math and realize they overcharged me by $10.
I call the restaurant, and mention to the waitress that i was overcharged $10, she says that a 15% gratuity is included in the bill.
I would have liked to have known this when the bill was handed to me.
I will never ever eat here again. I think this place really caters more as a bar for drunk people, and they take advantage of that.
