I would give zero stars if I could. Placed order via ubereats for Scrambled eggs with chorizo, Chicken Empanada Pie, Chorizo Spanish Omelette (tortilla) and a baguette.
They alerted via the app that they were out of Chicken Empanada, so I switched to Churros & Hot Chocolate.
Took them 45 min to scramble eggs and heat up a slice of potato omelette and fry 3 "churros". UberEATS driver arrived and waited for food to be ready, so it was not an issue with a late delivery.
Scrambled eggs with chorizo includes potatoes on the side, a baguette roll, butter and a small café con leche.
Portion is abundant, but you will get a cup of oil with your garbage breakfast. Potatoes were limp, soggy, cold, completely saturated with oil and didn't even have salt. Eggs with chorizo were ok, but swimming in oil. I cook. I am aware that chorizo has a lot of fat. Was it too much trouble to DRAIN it after cooking it before you added the eggs??
Baguette roll was warm and tasty, as was the big baguette I ordered. But this bread is not made by the restaurant. It comes par baked, frozen, and the restaurant finishes baking it. I know. I've worked in the food industry. So the 1 star goes to the bread company.
Café con leche was average and warm.
Spanish omelette is usually good, but this time, even that was awful. This was not my first time getting food from Delicias de España. I've been to the Bird Rd location and have ordered from the Dadeland one because it a closer to home. This tortilla was not fresh. The bottom was burnt. Not golden brown. BLACK. And of course they tried to hide it by serving the burnt side upside down.
Now, for the churros and hot chocolate. I need to take a deep breath because even just thinking about it makes my blood boil. Times are tough right now, especially for the restaurant industry. How can they expect you to support them when they give you mediocre food? The level of laziness and lack of respect is just mind-blowing.
The hot chocolate was barely warm. Packed in a lidded styrofoam cup, it should arrive hot, especially since it's a 9 min drive to my house. Upon taking off the lid, I could already see it was lumpy. This was not the darker thick skin that forms on the top when it cools down, which is common with hot chocolate and things like natilla and pastry cream. Again. I am a cook and a baker so if it was just that skin on the top, I would not have minded.
I went to stir it and the lumps were the size of raisins.
It wasn't one. It was several. This was supposed to be hot chocolate, not Boba tea!
The churros were the saddest serving of food I have witnessed in a long time. They were white, not golden, and you could see they were raw. I am pretty sure these are frozen and deep fried to order. Which is fine, I don't expect freshly piped dough. But could you please learn how to use the deep fryer and pay attention to how long you cook the food for? I am certain the oil was not at the right temperature. They were like spongy snakes of dough full of oil, with some sugar sprinkled on top.
I took a bite against all my good judgement and spit it out.
*Exasperated Sigh...
I should've just eaten corn flakes with milk. This was a great meal to start the day.
