1 /5 Caca de Vaca: Predatory pricing, unresponsive owner.
I was charged over $25 for an impossible horseshoe and a soda water from tap for lunch. Insane price for a simple lunch.
The $4 upcharge for an impossible burger substitute is ridiculous when I can pay $2.50 for an impossible patty at the store, not the wholesale price they pay. This is the charge IN ADDITION to what I would pay for the beef patty version, so they are not simply adding cost to make up for expenses, they are trying to massively increase their profit margin.
Fine, I knew that beforehand, I decided I would pay it and just not come back.
I ordered a soda water too. Not bottled, just a plain soda water from the bar. They charged me $3.50 for it without warning me. Most restaurants do not charge anything for a soda water. The c02 for one glass of soda water costs the restaurant $0.02 max. They are charging approximately 175x more than what they are paying and not warning customers in advance. Not cool.
Sucks because the servers are generally good and the food is too, but I won’t be back.
I was in a hurry to get back to work plus the lunch was with an old friend I hadn’t seen in years, so opted not to make a fuss at the time, but it didn’t sit well. I sent the owner a message through their website and explained the situation and gave him a chance to rectify as I didn’t want to jump to a negative public review.
He did not respond.
