I had one of those really bad night at this restaurant. Last Friday nights, 2/23/22 I went for the second time for dinner. The first time it was very busy, they advise us to place the whole order up front. The wait was quite long and some of the appetizers never arrived. This was the second time, big big mistake. It was again busy, we had to wait 35 min for the mocktail, and after 1hr waiting for the appetizer, I decided to go to another restaurant. The owner, instead of apologizing, got personal and very uncomfortable. I paid for the mocktail and left. Go to Salt and Pepper or Sartenes better.

Un espacio acogedor y muy bonito! Nos gustaron mucho los nachos, las croquetas y el postre que probamos de chocolate. Mucho éxito, definitivamente un joya en Manatí.

Croquetas De Malanga
First and last time here. Went to El Campito on a recommendation and sadly, the service killed what could’ve been a great experience. The place looked very nice and the atmosphere was homey and inviting. We were greeted promptly and our party of 7 decided to sit outside.
Drink order:
-2 of the 3 Coconut Mojitos had to be returned because they were waaaay too sweet. 1 was perfect.🤷🏼♂️
-My “old fashioned” was just whiskey on the rocks with an orange twist on top. 👎🏼
- My buddy ordered just a whiskey, neat,and it was perfect 🤷🏼♂️
Dinner:
Here’s were the experience got killed…it took literally 1hr and 12min to get 4 of the 6 meals ordered and another 20 minutes to get the other 2.😳
Way under seasoned food and not up to par with the reviews I saw. The mamposteau de gandules was a little too watery to be a mamposteau. “Good” but, unfortunately, under seasoned…
The “alitas de pescado” were nothing but fried batter with very little fish in it👎🏼
And at NO POINT during this, NOBODY was even remotely addressing the fact that we waited way over an hour to get our meals. Not even a “we are so sorry for your wait” or anything of the sort.
I really wanted to liked this place but, even though this type of things happen everywhere, the over an hour wait without the slightest apology from the service staff or management, was the worst.
Never again.
