If you’ve ever ordered a drink that didn’t taste right, you know how much it matters when the staff handles it well. A quick apology or a replacement can make you feel taken care of. But when you’re dismissed instead, that small mistake can ruin the entire meal. One woman in Bridgeport, Connecticut, says that’s exactly what happened during her visit to Mil Sabores, and it left her convinced she could no longer support the restaurant.
The content creator, who said she had long supported Mil Sabores, began her TikTok video by clarifying that she once enjoyed the food and even tried to collaborate with the restaurant in the past, but was ignored. Despite that, she continued to give them her business. She recalled visiting for happy hour with her fiancé, Sage, and being disappointed by how the staff handled a drink order. Sage ordered a Venezuelan Punch, which was described as a fruity mix but instead, according to her, tasted like plain orange juice. When they asked for a replacement, the server agreed but later returned to say the original drink still had to be paid for.
The couple asked for a manager, but none came. Instead, she said she noticed staff giving more attentive service to another nearby customer. When a worker finally identified themselves as the manager, they upheld the same rule: whatever was ordered must be paid for, regardless of whether it was consumed. The TikToker said she expected the restaurant to make it right, whether by removing the item or offering a small gesture, but nothing was done. On top of that, she said she was shocked to find a 17% service charge automatically added to the bill. Even though there were only two people at the table.
Feeling dismissed, she decided to share the incident online. “I gave the server, the manager, and the owner a chance to rectify it. None of them did,” she said. The woman also added that she has seen dozens of bad reviews from people reporting similar complaints about Mil Sabores. In her video, she accused the restaurant of lacking integrity and said she could no longer support it. “Respect is for everybody. Courtesy is for everybody. Non-prejudicial treatment is for everybody. And if it’s not for you, it should be,” she declared.
Netizens React to the Bridgeport Woman’s Experience at Mil Sabores
Viewers had plenty to say in the comment section, and many agreed with the food content creator’s criticism. Some shared their own experiences, including one netizen who said their workplace once ordered nearly $300 worth of tacos, only to be charged extra for sour cream. Another recalled, “They were so bad at customer service. I waited almost two hours for my food and almost an hour just to get the bill.”
Others focused on the restaurant’s management. One commenter remarked, “Anytime someone has anything negative to say about the place he argues with them on Facebook or Google reviews… huge red flag.” Someone else noted that Mil Sabores is “always hiring,” which they saw as a sign of high staff turnover. There were also reactions about the restaurant’s future and reputation. “It’s giving they won’t be open for long,” one person wrote. Another lamented, “That is sad because it used to be so good.”
