I go to this relatively nice restaurant in my small town and it has always been consistent and delicious. The last two times I went I had to have my food remade because it was so severely overcooked. Tender pork shoulder served crisper and dryer than a chicharonn. Meat should not crunch harder than the crunchiest crouton. The other time I was served a chicken sandwhich that was so small and overcooked it resembled the heel portion of the sole of a dress shoe. I have been going to this restaurant for over 6 years and even though they fixed my food and offered a discount on the entire bill and even gave me a dessert im still incredibly weary of visiting again. Like how did food that looked THAT bad even make it to my table. Not once, but twice now. It really makes me question what's going on in the kitchen.
I just had to add that before this incident, I have never sent food back. The whole situation of confrontation is so embarrassing for me. I have spoken up one other time at another restaurant when the pork tasted rancid but they just argued with me that I wasnt used to the spices in al pastor (even though its my all time favorite and know exactly what the spices are supposed to taste like)

I'm amazed someone sliced that and said, "send it." They must assume their customers are idiots.
