Chicken Fajitas - $24.99
I
really don’t know where or how to begin.
But then again, yes I do. I have
been to this restaurant for a few years either dining in or doing takeout and
have always enjoyed the food and the service.
They are very cordial, professional and friendly. Today was a completely different story. Upon
entering I sat at one end of the bar waiting to have my order placed, but the
woman behind the bar/counter ignored me. So, I moved up to the area where the
waitstaff pick up their orders. After a while she noticed me and asked me what
I wanted while walking away towards the other end of the bar. So I waited until
she came back to the area I was sitting.
She asked again and I ordered 2 chicken fajitas for takeout. Never a smile, hello, nothing, just a glare. Her
tone was as if I was bothering her, and her tone was harsh. When I paid for my order,
she handed me back my change, minus 2 cents. That’s right, 2 cents. I asked her about it, and she stated that she
did not have it with her back to me. I then told her that I would like my two cents,
and I did that only because of her dismissal and nasty attitude towards me.
Normally
I would walk out, but I wanted their chicken fajitas. She called over a waitress
and said something in Spanish but the only thing I understood was “American”. A few minutes later the waitress put 2
pennies on the counter in front me and I ask her did they come from her, she
walked away. When she walked towards me again,
I repeated my question and handed her the 2 cents and then she placed them on
the counter next to me and walked away.
When the person who took my order came back, there was a discussion
between her and the waitress, she took the 2 cents and threw them in the garbage
can next to me.
My main reason for
asking for the 2 pennies was not because I needed it, but because it is not up
to the staff to decide to give you your change without telling you no matter
the amount, don’t just assume, plus I was annoyed at her. Was I being petty, maybe, but I will never
ever step foot in El Porton if she is the person behind the bar/counter. Ever! But the food was very good as usual. I’m just saying.
