Quite nice, BUT: 1) the quantities were way off, and 2) DH actually found it a little bland, and 3) it was a bit of a pity of the (homemade) cajeta, a simple caramel sauce would have worked just as well.
So, quantities: the amount of batter was meager for three servings, and would have been absolutely insufficient for four. Definitely double the amount. Two bananas was just okay for three, for four servings I'd use at least three bananas. The amount of pineapple was probably just right. But the amount of sauce - I used just half of what the recipe recommends, and of that we probably didn't even use half! So you can easily get away with a quarter of the sauce, if not less.
Then, although the recipe was nice, it was a bit too bland / not exciting enough to warrant a 5 star rating. The crepes are sweet, the sauce is sweet, the bananas are sweet, only the pineapple adds a bit of zing. And using cajeta instead of making a simple caramel sauce I thought was a bit of a pity of me standing at the stove for a few hours. I probably wouldn't even have noticed if you'd use caramel sauce instead of cajeta.
