Vibe: Stifling, archaic atmosphere

Perks: Abysmal service overshadows perks

Potential perks of dining at El Molino De Oro such as ample parking facilities and table reservations are sadly overshadowed by the glaring negatives.

Large groups suffer further as reserved tables for private parties disrupt seating.
