Rayuela

This used to be an amazing restaurant. My boyfriend and I used to frequent Rayuela at least a month but the past few times we have been, we have been disappointed with both the food and service. We ordered dinner and never saw our waiter again. My chicken with chorizo was just ok, and the the rice was undercooked. I usually love the desserts but again, disappointing. My rice pudding had no flavor. What happened to this place?

We were a little nervous when we arrived for dinner on a recent Saturday night because front of the room was very busy and we were waiting for them to either make us wait for a long time or forget about us in the rush. Neither happened and we were seated in five minutes. From start to finish we had a simply delicious meal with a very good server. The food is inventive, with great flavors and superb presentation. And best of all, it comes out of the kitchen in good time. I will definitely be back because my only regret was that I didn't have the opportunity to taste more of the menu.

If you want to wait forever for overpriced food, you'll love this place. The staff I'll tell you your food and drink are on its way. That is code for " be patient; it'll b out in 45 mins".

Had an amazing dining experience at Rayuela with my two brothers. The food was savory and quite tasty.We all had the Lubina.WOW!!The apetizers were also delicious.I am already craving the oysters with quiona.Will be back very soon.Kudos to our waiter Juan.He was wonderful and full of much appreciated suggestions.It is so rewarding to find such a richly inventive and tasteful restaurant.Congratulations Chef Tejada.

I went here last Friday and enjoyed it a lot! The service was excellent and the food was amazing. Great place for a date or dinner with friends.

Went here last week with the girlfriend for dinner... place had a really nice ambiance, and the waiters were attentive and helpful with the decisions. For starters, we had the Siete Potencies ceviche, and the Carica Tejada. The ceviche, while tasty, was a rip off. Tiny martini glass of fish for $16. That dish should have cost $12, max. The Carica Tejada was different... you won't find a dish like this anywhere else... mango type fruit filled with duck confit. Was good, but honestly was expecting it to be better. For the mains we had the sea bass and the paella. The sea bass was really nice... tasty skin and all. The paella was good, but not really anything amazing. For $29, I would have expected more seafood in it. Was about 2 mussels, 2 clams, and 4 little shrimp, and a few pieces of calamri. And oh yeah... advertised as served with head on shrimp. You get one. I thought all of the shrimp were going to be head on, so that was disappointing and misleading. Dessert, we had the pear tres leches. This was really, really good. Different take on your typical tres lehces cake. Total for all of that, plus a pitcher of sangria (which was ok) and another drink (the gin, not so great), plus tax and tip came out to $180. Considering the amount it cost, I felt the place did not deliver in terms of quantity or quality. Both were subpar for what the meal cost.

My husband, parents and I went to dinner on a recent Monday (we had reservations), and were seated immediately though we arrived early. Between the four of us, we had 2 salads, a civeche appetizer and 4 different entrees. Each one was amazing. I asked that the scallops not be made with too much salt to accommodate my dietary needs and they were perfect. My mom's sea bass was incredible and the vegetarian crepes were better than I would have imagined. The service was perfect. Not rushed, excellent waiter, new utensils for each course. Oh, and the drinks are dangerously good. The prices are a touch high, but well worth it if you're looking for a special night out.
