This was our third visit and the food was very good but they were out of a few things (ruibs and other meat and some seafood) and even ran out of red wine. We bring visitors there because we can trust the results, a bit disappointing for them to have run out of things on a Friday night.

Los alimentos no cumplieron la expectativa. La carne estaba sobrecocida y la coliflor asada estaba dura. La atención es muy buena, el personal super Amable. El ambiente se siente improvisado.

Really good BBQ! I don’t eat meat but my husband loves BBQ so I went along. He had the baby back ribs and said they were excellent. I was pleased to see a few fish and a lot of vegetable options on a BBQ joint menu. The grilled shrimp were delicious and we shared some vegetable side dishes. Excellent service & cool ambience to take in.

I feel the short ribs were cooked 2 or more days before, they were dry. Like bad left-overs. They were not hot, and they were not cold. I would like FRESH-COOKED meat if I return again. I got a case of "Monteczuma's revenge" and I was sick. The beet salad, which has been very good in the past, was not so good. The beets seemed old, they were not the correct temperature for the recipe. The Mojito had very little taste like the mint was not "muddled," or crushed, very well. I was disappointed, and then I was sick later.

Pocas opciones de alimentos, la cocina al estar a la vista debería ser algo más ordenado ya que de lo contrario da la sensación de falta de limpieza. Amabilidad 8/10 Ambiente 8/10 Precio aceptable.
