  • 5/5 Jorge III A. 5 years ago on Google
    Excellent restaurant with a superb old fashioned service. This is a very traditional restaurant, much in the way Bellini or La Hacienda de los Morales were a few years (you need to be dressed accordingly to be treated better). I didn't expected this restaurant in this area, but it's worth it.

  • 5/5 Patrick H. 5 years ago on Google
    Excellent assortment of different authentic Mexican foods, with a variety of both seafood and land animals and a good set of healthier fares as well. Prices are extremely reasonable for the quality of the food. Parking is secure and valet which is a bonus. Guacamole and salsa are made tableside at whatever level of picante you prefer. Menus in English and Spanish and staff are quite good at speaking English if needed. Didn't have a chance to work through their tequila and mezcal list but I was told it's very good. Try the flan or sweet elote bread for dessert!

  • 5/5 Carmen L. 4 years ago on Google
    Service was a bit slow, the rest was excellent: flavor, cleanliness, place, environment. There's no playground for kids. Food is delicious, mainly Mexicanized. Portions are well served. Pulque and curados are delicious, really fresh. Prices are affordable charged to the upper side, but worth it. I would definitely go back.

Without leaving aside, mentioning its atmosphere in general is very pleasant, pleasant and intimate, the latter is important to mention, because its large space between table and table, allows you to have a pleasant conversation at your table, if the noise intervenes or noise from the tables around you. Excellent option to eat for any reason, occasional, celebration, pleasure or business, the service will make you feel "a VIP customer". Highly recommended!
