Please read this review.\r
I truly am a big believer of tarot readings and the entire botanica beliefs. I have been to numerous botanica's in the tri-state area as well as along the West Coast. Through my experience I have found some good places and other even greater places. \r
However NEVER have I had an experience as BAD as I did at the SAN LAZARO BOTANICA IN CLIFTON, NJ on Crooks Ave. I made an appoint about 2 weeks ago. I called the day of my appointment to confirm and I was told I was not in the book , a few minutes after I was put on hold I was told that I am in the book and there are 2 people after me. An individual named Orlando would see me and he had more than eneough time because he was there till 7. When I showed up, I waited about 5-10 minutes and was told Orlando was upstairs...a lady went to get him. She never came back down, then a young man asked me if i needed help. I explained I was there for a reading, he then went upstairs to get Orlando. He came down 2 mins later to randomly tell me that Orlando had unexpectedly left due to an emergency!!!! Are u kidding me????? After I left work early, drove all the way to Clifton, waited around and was told Orlando is upstairs..i'm then rudely told he left and that they have no idea when he would be back?? They then referred me to some lady instead. What kind of garbage place is taht? Please do not even waste your time going there..it is a disgrace! They are liars! I even had my friend call them the same day to make an appointment and they told her they have no idea when the guy would be available and to call back.. Umm how about you shut your doors down because you are the worse Botanica around!! if you want an amazing lady to read your tarots and be honest and true to her faith, then visit Mimi in Newark. Her place is in the nicer area of Newark and she welcomes walk ins. She takes about 20-25 mins per customer and is very genuine and sincere. People have been going to her shop for decades. She is truly amazing. Here is her number 973-485-5767. I will certainly never go back to the half-ass ran shop in Clifton again! Be ware not to waste your time and/or money!
