Reply to comment by xenolingual in Best lunch spot in Worcester? by Technical_Pay9104

Excellent food but the slowest service I’ve ever encountered when dining there. Spent over 2 hours in there and the place was mostly empty

That’s the ambience of it being a Cuban restaurant. Meals should be enjoyed. Not rushed through.

May be that they started making what you ordered. Latin food takes time and is best served freshly made (most of it anyways). Even a frozen tamale takes forever. But a reheat would be horrible or something sitting there waiting to be ordered.

If you strike a convo with their staff, it could be even longer. (And if you have enough convos, they'll know your order and have it in before you sit down.) Don't see the problem myself, but I was raised in a similar culture.

Went there during my work’s lunch break is why I had to rush. I enjoy the place but I won’t make the mistake of going during lunch break again

I get what you mean. Yeah it’s not a place to be rushed, it’s a place to savor and enjoy. :)

How awful that your employer is so inhumane; condolences. :(
