awful customer service, definitely not worth their price
1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

04/19/2008 Posted by Jreyes3

Me and my friends went to cerebrate my birthday, and UNFORTUNATELY I choose to go to Salpicon, as I always like to try new places. Starting with making the reservation; they take your credit card information when reserving a table, as there is a $75.00 cancellation fee per person… As soon as we arrived, we had to wait 20 min. for valet parking and 30 min. to be seated even though we had a reservation. Let's move forward with awful customer service… the owner instead of greeting was very rude; the servers, would not take an appetizer order unless the full order was placed at once. The prices are outrageous and the food portions are very small, the food is not as tasty, the restaurant is very simple, definitely not worth their price… Unfortunately, they ruin my appetite; I hope this review reaches other people before their appetite gets ruined. If you are willing to have a great experience, try Adobo grill (much less expensive, much better food, great ambiance), Carnival (expensive but worth their price, great customer service, really fancy, excellent chef selection…) and I can go on, but definitely any other place will make you feel welcome. DO NOT GO TO SALPICON!

Pros: NONE

Cons: Ambiance, parking service, prices, customer service

Editor's Review

Upscale and intimate, this colorful Mexican restaurant draws Old Town regulars with its authentic fare and wine/tequila list.  See the full editorial review.

Insider Tips

What to Drink

Choose from 100 sipping tequilas, flights of anejos, blancos, reposados, ultra-premiums, mescals and the "connoisseur's" selection; have a house margarita with Herradura Silver. The list of French, American, Spanish and South American wines compliment spicy foods.
