When we arrived I am not sure if the restaurant wasn't open or not, but the lady was all the way on the back and we didn't even know where to sit. She took a while to tell us to sit down.

Por otro lado, el queso frito estaba excelente. El gallo pinto estaba bien, aunque se veía un poco brillante, como si tuviera más aceite del que hubiera preferido.

On top of that, they kept insisting that we purchase a bottle, even though we had no interest in spending $400 on one. The atmosphere felt tense because of the constant pressure to spend more money. Instead of focusing on customer experience, they seemed overly focused on making a sale.

What an experience. One random Thursday we decided to go and try this place out considering all the…read morehype and the vibe was less than impressive. To start when we walked up to the restaurant, there was a pretty lady wearing a club style red dress on the phone and didn't even bat an eye when we walked in, so we didn't think she was the hostess. When we walked into the actual restaurant, it looked cool however considering the owner is Alex de Gente de Zona, the music sounded like someone turned on 101.5 Lite FM. It took about a minute for the hostess to walk in and greet us (the lady in the red dress) and take us to the table. As we perused the menu, I got excited by the selections. The server Ashley (I think that was her name) was great. Extremely personable and loved her candor about our selections and making sure we ordered enough food. However she informed us that a few of the plates we were most excited for, were no longer available and they were redoing the menu. At the end of the night the food was mediocre for the price. I'm giving it 3 stars because I might consider having drinks there but may never go back for dinner. The music started changing slightly as we were paying our bill. could have been the night? Don't know but that doesn't excuse the food not being worth the price.

First of all: This business is still called Jaque Mate, but the menus and the check are already…read morewith the new name: Que Chimbo Parce. I've gone to Jaque Mate in the Kendall Village mall, and so far I'm still happy with them. Now, as for this Que Chimbo Parce: If there's something I'll never forgive is when a business tries to rip you off. And, yes, many other business include the tip already in your check (a practice I really dislike, but can sometimes understand), but most of them include the tip as it should be: 1) it SAYS it's included 2) it is calculated before tax 3) it is optional to raise it, reduce it, eliminate it, or leave it 4) they CLEARLY state that the space below is for ADDITIONAL tip. Don't get me wrong, the server went above and beyond for us and she deserved a good tip. But that should be MY CHOICE, not the restaurant's, and the fact that they tried to charge the additional tip as a regular tip and calculated it AFTER TIP AND TAX ensures I'm not going back. As for the food. We had tequeños. An order gives you five, with two sauces on the side. I didn't care much for the guava sauce, though you may like it if you're into that sort of thing, but the garlic sauce was very nice. We also shared a parrilla personal. The menu says it includes morcilla, but the server was very clear it was an error and it didn't include it before taking our order. It was quite good, for an appetizer, though I doubt is what you have in mind if you're going for it as an entré (worked perfectly for us because we were precisely in the mood for a bite to share). Overall, the restaurant was nice and clean and no complaints about the service... but those deceitful practices have to stop!

We got sat down quick, took about 10 minutes to get our order taken. Got some beers and a hookah. Hookah is $20 but to be honest I've had better hookah and last longer for that price...so not really impressed. The guy waiter that's passing by, didn't even check or see that our coal had turned off already, I believe he was giving complementary chips to the tables too and he just looked at ours and kept walking and gave the chips to another table. So regarding the hookah, we unwrapped the foil because we felt it lasted way to little and of course there was still a good amount that was good to be smoked, so we asked the waitress if they charged for giving us another coal since ours burned out and I believe I heard her say it was $3 for that (including the tobacco) and I told her there was a good amount we still had left. Luckily they put a new coal for us. Most likely because the guy going around didn't pay attention to our table and hookah. Along with the waitress, she barely passed by. If she came by it was maybe like 2-3 times compared to how the other tables were served. Beers were $5 (Corona). So by the time we got our check they charge a service fee of 18%, so that's their tip that's included and they still ask for a tip at the end when paying. I'll pass by again and see if service is a little more attentive but if not won't go back and it's not a big deal.

There were very few tables occupied and only one person at the bar. My usual spot was available, so I sat at the bar without hesitation. Greta welcomed me and handed me a menu. I noticed they have a new menu with a very nice design. As usual, they also offer daily specials. To my disappointment, when I tried to order one of the specials the Branzino Mediterraneo & Risotto Greta told me it had already run out. I ended up ordering the Steamed Mussels instead. For my drink, I was undecided between wine or beer, and she recommended the Inedit Damm. The beer was very good you could clearly taste many of the ingredients. The mussels arrived with bread and butter, plus some tasty house made potato chips on the side. The texture and overall flavor were phenomenal you could see and taste the pieces of pancetta and the thin slices of garlic. I ended up using a spoon to enjoy every bit of the broth and ingredients. I also noticed that both the bar and tables have purse hooks, which is a very practical and thoughtful detail. I finished with a glass of white wine and headed home until next time.
