Our dinner at El Taller de Xiquet was nothing short of extraordinary. Each dish was a masterpiece, beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The grilled fennel and peaches with romesco sauce is a starter not to miss. The chef’s innovation and use of high-quality ingredients were evident in every bite. The staff was outstanding and very knowledgeable. We also liked that the price point is much more approachable as compared to Xiquet, making El Taller competitive to other nice restaurants in town. El Taller's superb cuisine makes it an ideal dining experience that you don't have to wait for a special occasion to enjoy.

The staff set a nice table for ten in the back which felt nicely private. Service and food was excellent as were the cocktails. Our server, Deniz, did an outstanding job and should be commended!
