I has to comment this for the first time. Yesterday I came in and I was in the mood for "Carne asada". I got rice and yuca on the side along with my meat. When it come to the meat, and this is not the first time that I ordered. Before Silvia there was another woman that I do not know her name but she serve me, and did ask me how do I want my meat to cook? I told her I want my meat medium rare then she came back with giving me well done. I told the waitress this meat is not what I want, and I explained that it is not medium rare. She took it back then few mins later came back and got it right for 2nd time.
Now yesterday I got Silvia who is my server, and took my orders. I did told Silvia that to be sure that I want medium rare please. She nodded, and say okay then I wait for about 20 mins or less. Came back with my food and I was ready to eat but when I cut my meat. It showed the same issue that I had before. I told Silvia this is not the meat that I asked. Told her that this meat look dry up, and it is not medium rare. She took my dish and back to the kitchen then she came back to me with her frustration, and decided to tell me that chef in the back does not want to make another meat and telling me that this meat that I have now is MEDIUM RARE. I told her you got the nerve to tell me that this is medium rare when I used to work many restaurants and I was a cooker before. She want back to the kitchen, and came back to me saying it would be another $20 of the dish for requesting another meat. Told Silvia I did ask for the first time... in my (head speaking) your gonna tell me that it is my fault for making this meat or am I wrong to ask to correct my food the way I want? She went back to kitchen and show me the meat of my recent dish. She show me is that what I mean? So I see medium rare there and look like your chef cook other meat as well done. I decided just want to go ahead, and eat but no she took it back and giving me correct one. She came back with correct meat as I check. Silvia wasn't seem happy from all of this happen. She did not ask me how is my food going or else to ensure everything. I felt that I should not ever come back. I used to come this place many times before it changed to salvadorian cuisine. Mario was the name before this place, and my honest to say is one the best I ever know. Eating there so many times, I had Mario salad all the time when I visit. Now changed half Italian and Salvadorian. They should stick with Hispanic restaurant not Italian food. It doesn't seem combined very well. Other than my situation. Everything good except the waitress, chef lady in the back were horrible. No offensive but that chef lady in the back can't even tell between rare - well done meat. Maybe other food was fine but not the meat.
