I rarely post reviews unless the food or service is exceptional or horrible. I had never been before but a friend said I had to try it. I'm a fish taco lover so ordered 2 fish tacos. The fish was completely over cooked and resembled jerky. I couldn't believe the cook would actually expect someone to eat that. There was also so much sauce on it, maybe to camouflage the burnt fish. I am not a pickey eater but this was not even close to being edible. I thought no problem I'll ask for a few pieces of properly cooked fish. I went up to show the cashier and asked for just new fish or maybe chicken to replace the fish, she flat out told me "NO". I wasn't asking for my money back, just an edible taco. I'm not a young kid, or trouble maker looking for free food. I'm a 74 year old grandma and was very polite when I asked for new fish or chicken. Twice she just said "NO"!! FYI, she spoke perfect English and understood me. I just went back to my seat and left my entire lunch on the table. The beans and rice were nothing to brag about either. I have eaten fish tacos next door at JimBoys for years and they are always great. I will never go back to El Forestero. I will call the manager to complain about the young lady that was so rude to me, but I doubt it will do much good. Good customer service seems to be a thing of the past.
