Sandrina's

Sandrina's Review

The walls of this veteran, Canadian-owned restaurant and locals' favorite are covered in colorful paintings: portraits and tropical scenes and still lifes. Columns are adorned with bright broken-tile mosaics. The restaurant opens after 3 pm; it's very pleasant to dine on the back patio at night amid dozens of candles and tiny lights. The menu varies in accomplishment as well as cuisine: On our last visit we sampled tasty lentil soup and a nicely grilled hamburger as well as dry hummus and uninspired tzatziki. There are plenty of other choices, including pizza, salads, pasta dishes, and such Mediterranean fare as chicken souvlaki and Greek-style chicken. Order a liqueur-laced coffee or dessert from the bakery counter. The café at the front has great espresso but is open in high season only, usually December through Easter.

    POOR customer service. The owner Sandy and her son are extremely rude and arrogant. Not what you expect for the town of Bucerias. Food is served cold and service very slow. Very impersonal.

    2 Days ago we were wondering around Bucerias looking for a place to have dinner and ended up entering this beautiful place called Sandrinas, we were 8 people and had no reservation so they accomodated a table after 5 mins the place was crowed and smelled wonderfull, we had to wait almost and hour to get the appetizers which were a bit plain but ok and another 30 mins to get dinner, onthis part and as a chef i can not let this pass everthing was tasteless but the barbeque sauce probably bottle one, from there no one finished their dishes i asked for the mediterranean chiken and just the capers had flavor, the chicken curried salad you could bite the curry paste which was not pleasant at all and the chile relleno well just toamto paste with cream and lost of rice, and on the drinks side i ordered a sangria (mix of red wine and limonade) and had to returnt it cause the way they do its with pinaple juice, brandy and redwine. and the carrot cake was not good also, the staff its friendly but for such a nice place its a shame they had so bad food and also a bit expensive.
