Was Jose Leon at El Tecolote a mag?
The food is amazing. But the waitress or service is bad. Am gonna put up a picture of one of the dishes I order was missing a shrimp. The order was “ ostiones preparados “ which they supposed to come with a shrimp on top of the oyster cut, it was missing one. I cordially asked the waitress if she can take the dish back and give me the correct number of shrimps but to my luck it never happened. The service is terrible... View all feedback.

I thought it was going to be a good place based on reviews but I was very disappointed. Took over an hour to get our drinks and then another 30 mins for our food. Lady was so nice but if I'm honest food was not good. Very disappointed
