    Food was served cold/lukewarm, and the service was indifferent. Lots of flies swarming around our food. The ambience was otherwise good and the drinks were very good. Overall a sub-par experience.

    El lugar aunque es una recomendación de la Guía, es malo. Insípido y descuidado. Un caldo de piedra sin sabor y con pescado con moscas. Un arroz con tapioca que no sabe a nada. Los molotes de plátano buenos, mucho mejor el taco de camarones con tripa. La salsa X y servida en unos recipientes demasiado “lindos”, en contraste con todo el barro del sitio. En fin, sobrevalorado. No volvería pero ya lo conocí No todo lo de Guía Micheline es garantía.

    Extraordinary experience. Great food, premium service. The staff welcomes you as family and introduces you to their favorites in the menu. Their mezcal offering is great and goes all across every possible taste preferences. Do not miss it

    The culinary experience was a delight, boasting delectable dishes that left us craving more. The exceptional staff only added to the enjoyable atmosphere. I highly recommend indulging in their chicken mole; it's an exquisite dish that promises to satisfy your taste buds and leave you feeling utterly content. Prepare to be pleasantly surprised as you savor the rich flavors and unique blend of spices that elevate this dish to new heights. Don't miss out on this remarkable treat!
