The Forbidden Llama

I’ve been following Forbidden Llama on Instagram for a while and finally decided to try it. The drive was a little over an hour, so I went in with high hopes. We went for brunch without a reservation and were seated pretty quickly since it wasn’t packed. The DJ played good music the entire time and the brunch vibes were great. The music was loud, but expected. Our waitress, Jennifer, was very friendly and attentive. Drinks were good, and the $3 mimosas are a great deal. The food was good overall. My chicken lomo had great flavor and a really good sauce, and my friend’s enjoyed their meal as well. We also ordered two appetizers that were really good, and even got a ceviche that wasn’t on the brunch menu, which we really enjoyed. One downside was the Hennessy shots, which tasted a bit wat

Chicken and waffles were good, not real maple syrup. Waitress was nice!

On Instagram, this place looks amazing, but the experience didn’t live up to the hype. The light for the 360 photo booth wasn’t working. I also took one bite of the pancakes and let the waitress know I didn’t like them. Instead of addressing the issue professionally, she blamed the temperature and said,” you guys were taking pictures for like 30min before touching them” we did take take advantage of the photo ops l before our food arrived however “I don’t know if you’ve ever made pancakes before.” She then called the manager, who did remove the item from the bill. Unfortunately, as this was my first visit, the overall experience was disappointing. I wouldn’t return or recommend it.

Great food, amazing dancing music. Get the birthday package.

The brunch service was excellent. Xavier was very attentive and helpful with suggestions. The place was still decked out for Valentines Day so the selfie action was great. The Dj was on point but the sound system needs some tweaking!
