    Amazing experience overall! Drinks and food were well woth it, staff was incredible. I got one of the mezcal drinks (not the sweet one) and the broccoli and charred fried onions (forget the name) and the short rib. All great options with great detail and closed the night off with pumpkin pie that was sinful. Will be coming back on my next trip.

    Our favorite restaurant in Mexico. Get the old fashioned, vegetal carbon, corn, and rib eye. Superb. The service level is outstanding, from the hostess to the servers and kitchen.

    Todo estuvo sorprendente y delicioso hasta que llegó el postre. La crema inglesa estaba salada, aún mezclando todo, era demasiado. Lo comentamos solo para retroalimentar pero no fue muy buena la reacción de la mesera. Lástima. ¡Felicidades chef!
