    Excellent dinner! Our server was charming and we didn’t feel rushed. Sangria and Piña Colada were enjoyable. Would come back again!

    Coffee was delicious, breakfast 10/10! They sell the ground coffee as well. We had the green chilaquiles and the waiters were attentive and accommodated our needs. Had the beet carrot and orange juice, very good. Relaxing view by the river outdoors. Highly recommended.

    Wow wow wow. The service here is absolutely outstanding. From the moment you enter you feel welcome. Our server was outstanding and friendly and the two for one Margaritas were excellent. The fish and chips were the best we ever had anywhere. Very light batter and the chips were delicious. The calamari were very tasty also This is a must place to dine at in PV

    I have Celiac disease and they managed the GF diet well. At first the waiter said “no sauce” but I responded saying I’m not going to bother ordering it then. The waiter checked with the chef and the chef prepared the sauce gf instead of using flour. I did not get sick and I am highly sensitive with a reaction. I recommend this restaurant
