The food service ambience and margaritas were absolutely fantastic! The crab cake and octopus carpaccio stole the show. I highly recommend it!
Excellent date night spot or an afternoon lunch with friends. I love their salmon dish and highly recommend the ribeye starter made into tacos. The pork shoulder is tender, juicy, and accompanied by pickled red onions, which is a favorite. Their lemon pie is incredibly delicious. Their cocktails are well balanced and they offer a variety of interesting combinations. They offer a citrus popsicle at the end of the meal, which is a delightful way to end. While the meal service staff is always kind and attentive, I’ve been to this restaurant about 7 times now and have always found the hostesses to be unkind, borderline rude. It hasn’t stopped me from coming back. I offer this information because it can be very off putting and is not in line with typical Mexican kindness. However, the food and experience is delightful, so don’t be deterred. I assume that perhaps they are used to dealing with unkind people and that be the source of their behavior.
Vibey restaurant in lush greenery, perfect for lunch. It was busy and had great vibes, not to mention food was top notch. The shrimp aguachile was one of the best I’ve had! Great service and when I made a comment about how amazing the sauces are, the waiter had them packed takeaway for me. Very sweet!
Very nice and upscale restaurant that’s perfect for a date night dinner or with friends and/or family. To plan a perfect evening, I would have an early dinner and book a table at the speak easy bar on the 2nd floor. That way you will have a great meal and then head upstairs for drinks with a social vibe.
Great food, service and ambiance!! Everything is great: starting with a perfect bread, aperitif, appetizer and finishing with the main courses.
Very much enjoyed our experience here. Staff was very accommodating and helpful and overall the environment is extremely beautiful and great for groups as well.
My second time dining here.. this time round, I was alone, and they were helpful with my minimum Spanish. Food excellent as always!
Came for lunch and this place did not disappoint! Amazing food, great service and a beautifully decorated restaurant very private. Ordered Tuna Sashimi which was to die for. Very good Cesar Salad, Croquettes and Seafood Risotto. Can highly recommend all of it! Good baby changing area also!
