   Great flavors and dishes - just a bit pricey, but it will be a good spend.

   Food is phenomenal!! Drinks were tasty. Sitting outside with the plants and mango tree felt like Puerto Rico in Tulum. Magical to say the least. Highly recommend!!

   We went to the restaurant looking for traditional Puerto Rican cuisine but recently they changed the Menu. Now they are offering a more fusion cuisine, I really wanted to try something like Fried Snapper with Coconut Rice and other dishes that friends of mine have eaten before there and sounded super good. Now there is not traditional dishes on the Menu, they are dishes mixed with Asian or Middle Easter cuisines (like rabbit with cinnamon rice as main or eggplant with dates and ground lamb). We asked for 4 Appetizers and 3 we loved, the Crudo, Eggplant with Lamb and their famous beet terrine. Then we asked for Caldo de Gallina that we didn't like because it had the skin and bones, and the stock was not tasty or clear. I would recommend asking for more appetizers rather than trying the Mains. I wish we had ordered the Lamb Chops that they had as appetizer (they looked like main when the table next to us order it). They served us the Shrimp with Tomato Sauce salty and the Rabbit Rice was not worth it. The desserts sounded super good when the server explained them, they don't have them on the Menu. But when we tasted them, they all tasted weird, not sweet or like what you would expect. The Goat Cheese Flan tasted even salty, a Muffin with Dulce de Leche was dry inside, the Pavlova was regular and the Orange cake too. Maybe it was just a bad week to ask for desserts, they told us that they change every week. For 4 Appetizers, 2 Main, 2 Cocktails, 4 Desserts and 20% tip we paid a total of $350. More expensive than it used to be.
