Lovely atmosphere sitting and eating in Santa Lucia Park. The food was delicious and service attentive. We definitely enjoyed Yucatan specialties in Mérida. But, it was great to try the moles and flavors of Oaxaca.

Lovely atmosphere on the outskirts of Santa Lucia park. Service was mostly attentive and food was delicious. The cocktails could be improved on, but overall a nice dining experience.

The waiters were nice. The problem was in the kitchen. Our food took almost 2 hours since we ordered. Even though the chef/owner was present, the organization in the kitchen is really bad. The food was just ok

Food was ok - not the best. Portions were huge and we didn’t know so ordered way too much. Server was not really friendly and very brusque.
