I stopped by around ten days ago at around 4pm to get a take-away order as I had to get to work. There were no other customers, so I parked my bike outside and took a seat by the door with a menu. The waitress took my helmet away without telling me, which I let go. Then I notice the skeevy, dirty, motodop type who had been sprawled by the door is putting the key of my bike into the ignition. Bitch waitress had given him my KEY, presumably to move my bike an inch or two in some direction for no fathomable reason.

I shouted at him to not touch my bike, physically grabbed my key from him, sat down and asked the waitress why she thought it was okay to take my keys from the table without telling me. She laughed at me. I am a bit more fussy about my keys and helmet than a lot of things, by the way.

I didn't order. Won't be back.


Haha, they took my keys too! They asked though. I parked outside in front and they informed me the owner would move it. I didn't watch who moved it...

Besides, why would the moto parker take ur bike? He must realize u wouldn't tip him 500r if he stole it.

I know he wasn't going to steal it. But I don't like people fucking with my bike & if it needs moving tell me and I will oblige. Had too many idiots knock my bikes over, scratch them etc . . .

I'm with you on the 'scratch them' issue. You ought to see the amount of bloody scratches my Click has been dished out over the last year.

I wish I could get the idea into their heads that it is a fucking moto not a sardine.

THe question is: why did you guys them them your keys? Left them in your helmet or what? Keys go straight in my pocket after parking so I have difficulty understanding how everyone has their keys taken. If you give someone your keys (valet-parking style), expect them to use them to move your vehicle. I've never been there but it's the way I'm seeing this as I'm reading the thread. Kinda weird that she'd give him keys, but even weirder that you guys would give her your keys.

I never give my keys to any of them. However, in some places they seem to be duty bound to move your moto wherever you put it, even if it is clearly out of the way. Sometimes I park at Sorya and when I come back the bike has moved 10 or more meters.

They were taken from the table, where they were beside my phone and cigarettes, without my knowledge or consent. They were not "given" to her.

Learn to read. "Guys" sounds plural to me.

Then that is messed up. She probably thought it was nothing to fret about but I would also be pissed, the least she could have done is ask.

I eat lunch at this place regularly as I work nearby. The food is good - nice sized portions for the price, and the burritos and tacos are heaped with all the fixings like grilled veggies and so forth (I don't eat meat). Not THE greatest Mexican/Latino food I've ever had, coming from the U.S., but well worth the price and tasty.

The owner (I think) is usually in during the day. Big guy, Spanish speaking. He seems really nice and if you've got a complaint it might be better to address it to him if you can, if it's something you feel warrants it.

He's Chilean and a very nice guy. Worth talking to him about this because I know he's very concerned about customer service issues and would deal with it promptly.

Just got back from eating a small burrito (it was big!) with a side of salsa, guacamole and sour cream
Came to $10 with an orange juice

Good quality food and good price for the size of the meal. Will be going back again for sure!

La Cita is my restaurant of choice right now. I have eaten there many times and have not had a disappointing meal yet! I lunched on one of their steak sandwiches today (can't remember the South American name of the dish). It came with fries and a soft drink. $6 and it left me ridiculously full...

Most likely the chacarero. Great sandwich.
