I ordered the Sautéed Tenderloin (Lomo Saltado) and what arrived was more of a concept than an entrée.
First, the portion size: for nearly $17, I expected an actual meal, not a decorative sampling spoon. I’ve had larger portions from airline food.
Second, the steak. I ordered it rare. What I received was well done—not “oops, medium,” but fully committed, no-pink-left, congratulations-on-your-leather degree well done. If rare is on the menu, someone in the kitchen should know what that means.
The fries were advertised as crunchy. They arrived wet, limp, and sad, like they had been steamed in regret. Zero crunch. Absolute sog.
And finally, the description proudly mentions Peruvian yellow peppers. There were none. Not one. Not a sliver. Not a whisper of yellow pepper energy. At that point, it’s just false advertising.
Overall, this dish managed to be disappointing in multiple categories simultaneously: portion, doneness, texture, and accuracy. I will not be ordering this again, unless I’m conducting a study on unmet expectations.
