What Evonne Bruce likes about El Gordo Mexican:
Been there 3 times by myself and waited for someone to come to the table to take my order, or to seat me when I entered. All 3 times I was there during the week and around lunch time as they weren't that busy! First time I had to ask for silverware to eatmy food with as they never brought any to the table when I was first seated. Lack of help is the main reason as they don't havepeople to wait on the tables. The food... View all feedback.

What Laura Conter doesn't like about El Gordo Mexican:
We ordered guacamole. It was bland. The chips were stale. The server left them and replied they all are. My shrimp fajitas were dreadful .The shrimp was tasteless and overcooked. The onions and peppers were bland No seasoning . Tortillas were old. BisSteak Ala Mexicana was also bland. It really was the worst Mexican food I have ever had. View all feedback.

"RE: Unacceptable Business behavior in our Community, Ambrosia Euro Café (710 Northwest Highway) Incident: 1 month time planning to order my son’s (6 years) old birthday with staff who refused to connect me with a new Owner. Perhaps, given the experience of Saturday, June 17, 2023, it is worth revisiting Ambrosia Euro Café’s business commitment and customer service to our community. Consequences: I was given a frozen cake on Saturday, June 17, 2023, at exactly 10 AM. To my surprise when it was time to cut the cake at 12 pm (as I had looped Ambrosia Euro Café throughout the 1 month of planning my Son’s birthday), I learned it was a frozen cake and not fresh as was communicated to me. It was hard to cut the cake and in no shape or form was going to be eatable and enjoyed by my son, his friends, and our guests. Note the cost of the cake was $209, and despite all the unfortunate circumstances, the right business action to take would have been to reconsider other options for Ambrosia Euro Cafe not to ruin a children’s party (6 years old) and let me walk out with a frozen birthday cake. The ethical action for the business to take would have been to provide an eatable cake to serve the children and my guests, instead of handing me a full tab to pay my bill. In retrospect, I am blown away by the audacity of the new Ownership to charge a full price with full awareness of delivering a frozen birthday cake. Note a frozen and unfresh cake was not part of the agreement we had with the business for the past 1 month."
