    Party of six for drinks and sharing appetizers. Had to send back the Mucho Gusto drink because it was too spicy to the point where you don’t enjoy the taste—when I let the waiter now he was upset instead of trying to improve guest experience. He didn’t explain the portions of the apps so when the bill came it had 3x the price expected on the food items. 20% was already included to my bill (which I think it’s ok given party of 6) but the waiter didn’t say anything about it and when he brought the machine he tried to get gratuity on top of the 20% included. Very bad customer experience overall, my waiter was a male with a man bun.
