The day we visited was Father's Day, so there were a lot of people. I'm rating restaurant five stars; giving them the benefit of the doubt that they're actually better than they were that day.
AMBIANCE: This place is a great outdoor culinary experience. It provides valet parking and more than just sit and dine. The dining area is shaded, but it is outdoors, so dress accordingly. You can see the train from the property, which is a nice treat. After dinner, you're invited to enjoy the propeety with its many intimate conversations and viewing spots. Also outdoors, so wear a hat and sunscreen.
ACCESSIBILITY: Out stroller was not difficult to navigate down to the dining area, but if you're in a wheelchair you're going to need help with that steep dirt entrance.
FOOD: The food portions are a bit small. We ordered the aguachile verde, it was dry; lacking lime juice and flavor, it was very spicy, though which was expected. We also ordered the octopus, and almost half was very charred. It was bitter and not palatable, a waste. The other two dishes were ribs super delicious and the steak, it had a good flavor but again, small portions. I ordered the cantarito, and even though the alcohol was at a good level, it lacked flavor it was very bland. They don't offer courtesy drinking water, which is ok, but it's good to let people know they'll have to buy some if they get thirsty. I'd visit again because of the ambiance they provide. They have music playing around the clock, so it's extremely loud. If you have sensitive ears, I'd recommend bringing earbuds. All in all, I'd visit again as a date or family outing.
Good
Food & Service, the atmosphere is pleasant & relaxing, however the food is very expensive, be prepared to pay at least $240 for 5 people,
I will definitely go back but not soon. Hopefully they lower the prices.
And a perk that Valet parking is free you just pay a tip at the end.
No reservations needed!!! I was worried about going in without a reservation but that was no issue at all. Plenty of room. They sat us down right away. We also had arrived as they opened and were the fourth table to sit down.
I get people’s complaints about the service, but that is an easy fix. Just have waiters visit/check-in with each table every 10-15 minutes and that should solve many if not all the issues.
Valet parking is free. They have a stable that you can check out while you wait for your food. It took maybe 20-30 minute to get the food but that’s understandable as it’s freshly cooked. I really don’t understand people’s complaints about the wait.
Amazing food, amazing atmosphere. 100% recommend. It’s hard to find restaurants like these in the IE. I wish them much success!
Food is very yummy, very fresh, and tasted homemade. The drinks could've been a bit stronger for my taste but had good flavor. The views and atmosphere were very welcoming and friendly.
It reminds me of a big family, Mexican backyard cookout with grandma and cousins BBQing
I was so hesitant about this place based off on the reviews, however when we got there the staff was absolutely welcoming and nice. The wait time was long and it’s understandable they just opened and are getting a high volume of traffic, they were apologetic due to the long waiting period which wasn’t so bad. You are able to walk around and order drinks while you wait for your table, and if you have little ones they do have a jumper where they can be entertained as I don’t know how long they will have it but it’s a good option as well. Honestly I would highly recommend this place, our food did not take long to arrive. Just be patient with the staff as they are trying to accommodate everyone seeing as it’s not a big place , but over all I loved it.
