We had lunch at LAX this afternoon. It's been a while since we last ate there, but it's always been a nice place to chill out and have a bite and a cold one.
We ordered drinks. My beer came to me at room temperature! I politely complained that it was warm, and the waitress politely told me that they had just re-stocked the fridge. About five minutes later she changed my bottle with one that had it's wedding dress on (La vestida de novia), the way I like my Prezzie!
I ordered the diablo pizza and the missus ordered the fish balls. I do like Lax's pizzas, and this one was perfect. However I can't recommend the fish balls. A sort of dry mix of bread, seasoning and fish flakes. No taste of fish at all. But the salad was good.
Anyway digressing from the main title of this thread....
At the bottom of the menu, they advertise that they now accept credit cards. A shock as most of the restaurants are still living in the dark ages and only accept cash, including most major currencies at rip-off rates.
The proviso for paying by card is a 10% tip included, a 10% office charge and ITBIS at 16%
So all in all an EXTRA 36% on top of the advertised menu tariff!
Whereas if you pay by cash, you pay the 16% ITBIS and tip what you want.
