We were going to have lunch at Macayo's mexican restaurant in Tempe. Nobody was really hungry and their dishes were between $ 7,50 and $ 11, -. We thought we could share the "Variety platter" for $ 14,50 and ordered 2 of them (we were 4 people).
The waiter brought some tortillas and 2 plates with some chicken, some beef and some pork. When we were filled up (it was not real haute cuisine...) we received the check showing $ 29, - for each plate. Macayo's menu did not say $ "14,50 per person" but "minimum 2 persons" we were wondering what that would mean - it did not make sense at all because the menu should have said "$ 29, - for 2 person". This For the price of $ 14,50 we could have ordered 2 separate dishes. When we asked the waiter he did not make it clear either, that the price quoted in the menu was meant for each person sitting at the table.
Obviously there were some managers sitting at their desk in order to find new ways how to increase their profits and these guys know that nobody is in the mood to start a big discussion or a fight about the check when being with friends. You just pay and go home with some sort of stomach ache.
There is one thing that I know for sure: this was our last visit at "Macayo's" and we won't recommend this place to anybody. I am wondering when shoe stores are going to start to advertise prices for individual shoes with a note in the fineprinted that the customer is required to buy a pair...
