My friend took me out to this place in order to introduce me to the basics of salsa. I had heard of it in the past as a place for people to go to at the end of the week in order to enjoy light dancing and entertainment.
I was sorely disappointed. It was busy (to be expected of a saturday night) but the staff did nothing to redeem the place. The atmosphere was thick with the tension of overworked staff. It felt harried and careless.
I ordered an appetizer for $11. It consisted of 10 little prawns. Actually, I received more sauce than food stuff so that I was paying a dollar per prawn, each being smaller than my fingernail. Plus, it took an hour for the food to get to the table.The food was mediocre.
Before the food arrived, the manager came by to bark at our table because we didn't order what he called the "expected minimum of $20 per person" on saturday night. He told us this after we ordered.
My check came with the following listed: $11 for prawns and a $9 EMPTY FOOD fee. I was paying almost $10 for NOTHING.
The manager was not sympathetic. He ushered us to the back, treating us like kids, and had us pay while holding our debit cards in his hand (what did he think? We were going to make a run for it?). The check already had a tip amount added to the total (this is laughable...it was more than 15%) but the debit machine still prompted us for a tip ON TOP OF THAT.
If I wasn't concerned about having the rest of the table be saddled with the responsibility of paying for our food, my friend and I would have left.

I have never felt more insulted during a meal.
