This was such a great experience!
We ordered vegetarian tapas mixed plate and a mixed Paella for 2. it was very delicious and the portions were more than enough. With the tapas, we even struggled to finish the Paella.
Service was also amazing, very professional and caring. ✨????

Very great Tapas!
However the waiter gave us the impression that he was very annoyed by our group and does not wanted to deal with us that much.

In short: the food was OK, the service and the attitude were bad!

OK, so I fail to understand why service levels in Germany are so bad. The Kellner does not seem to care much, at times they are rude and over-smart. Coming from an extremely hospitable culture, I find such behavior annoying and uncalled for. El Cid 2 in Mannheim is no different. Following are my reasons:

1) They lie: their menu said 'Krabben im Knoblauch' (i.e. crab meat in garlic). What I got was shrimps in garlic. Boo!
2) They act over-smart: Before ordering a lamb dish, I asked the waiter whether the lamb actually came from a young sheep. I doubt German restaurants differentiate among lamb, hogget and mutton (based on age of the sheep) and therefore wished to clarify. He asked me whether I was Turkish with a look on his face was as if I had asked a really stupid question. He gave me a sarcastic answer instead.
3) They don't take card payments (Really?!): I asked the waiter whether I can pay using my card. He gave me a flat 'No'. Does he belong to the stone age or what?

The food was nothing great as well. No way I am going to this trash house again. They better mend their attitude or there will be more like me killing their reputation online!
