Come enjoy a delectable creation at El Spero Family Restaurant. They are open nightly from Monday to Saturday. You can get there by car and can pay by American Express, Interac, MasterCard and Visa.
I'm keeping it simple.....Excellent food, excellent service, and you always know what your going to get at El Spero. The only negative comment that I have is that some of the portions are to big, I guess its better then the alternative
El Spero. Italian for "and I hope". And I hope I never have to go back there.
First time there I had a Rueben. Not bad. Dated decor and a bit pricey but hey whatever these stuck in the 70's places in low grade malls are rare and worth checking out for the historical value.
On my second and last visit I went in for breakfast. Restaurant was half full of mostly seniors and the manager was dressed like Ron Burgundy. Total 1970's time machine. Got seated in a booth. Ordered a peameal and eggs, over easy with homefries. Took forever. Coffee was wretched. Peameal was cold, grey, bland and likely previously frozen. Eggs were alright but big deal its just fried eggs. Homefries were like McCains, frozen, soaking wet, cold and raw. The puddle of water they were swimming in had black grill char in it. Inedible. The breakfast was a joke.
The service was not much better. Got one refill on a tiny cup of bad coffee once the entire time. No inquiring how my meal was, nothing. Waitress was too busy gabbing to regulars at tables for 5 -10 minutes at a time and to other staff to notice my cup sitting empty. Ate the eggs and a few bites of bacon. When the waitress finally showed up with my bill to clear the full plate she never even asked how was it or if there was a problem. She simply muttered "guess it wasn't good enough huh?" as she dropped the bill, turned and walked away. Talk about rude service. I paid nearly $22 for a disgusting breakfast, left no tip and won't be back.
El Spero is like a time machine. One that broke down decades ago.
I'm 18 and have come here for years with my family. The food quality is AMAZING, really unbeatable, you'll never have anything too greasy or too dry etc. Huge portions, we get doggybags and devour them later! The service there I can't complain, when my siblings and I were younger, they would always help my parents out by cutting up our food and being within ears reach. Family-run business, dark decor. When I recommend the restaurant to people, i guarantee NO ONE has heard of it, but when I bring people there they never regret it!! ;) I'm going tonight actually! ps. Their sweet potato fries are HEAVENLY
It's a typical restaurant in a mall but the prices are too high and the portions are way too big. I'm a big guy, 6'2, 220lbs and those portions are ridiculous and are probably the reason for the steep prices for a mall restaurant. Cut down the portions and the price! Problem solved.
Overall nothing to write home about.
Really nice service. This was our first visit. We went for lunch. This is a family diner type place and the food is what you would expect -- all day breakfast, sandwiches, and typical entrees (spaghetti etc), all with huge portion sizes. Our sandwiches were tasty and fresh. We did not need the side of onion rings because there is so much food! The food was fine, nothing really to write home about but I wanted to write this review because I think the service was really great. Our server was a very friendly woman who seemed to care and wanted to make sure we had everything we needed and were happy. We were!
