La Nacional is a very nice upscale restaurant. The fine tablecloths, the impeccably dressed…read morewaiters, and the fine leather seating are all evocative of a steakhouse. But the place is also hip: we were there on a World Cup day, and there were many fans watching the game. It was festive and lively. The food is outstanding. We got the fried cauliflower, the arranchera (strip steak), the suckling pig (as tacos), and the creme brûlée flan. The steak was deliciously marbled, and cooked to perfection. It melted a bit on the tongue. The suckling pig tacos were dynamite. The meat was tender, and topped with a crispy piece of chicharron. The presentation was impeccable. The flan was also really tasty, and made for a light, sweet, and to a delicious meal.

So I paid with cash. When I got to where I was staying I checked my credit card and the lady did charge it. She lied to me and she is a thief. The should fire the bunch of cheating Ass people that work there. Be careful with this store as it is not trustworthy. I wouldn't be surprised if these ladies spit in the ice cream when serving the customers.

This is a local chain that has stood the test of time against other competitors. I always have a…read morehard time choosing which flavor I want to try because they are good. They do have the option where you can sample the flavors. There are a few flavors that are made with greek yogurt and a few flavors that are sherbert style. They also have a variety of cones to choose from or if you prefer to have your ice cream in a cup that is an option too. Now, remember this is a store located inside the mall so they dont have a lobby to sit and enjoy it but the food court is on the second floor if you can make it that far without eating your ice cream haha. Overall the customer service was ok, not amazing and they could use a little bit more attention to cleaning the counters.
