Cocktails sounded promising but were expensive and ultimately, meh. Wines, same. Our waiter barely spoke a word of English (matching our pathetic grasp of Spanish) so communication was difficult, so any advice or elucidation of the menu was impossible. HOWEVER, the restaurant is beautiful & stylish, and the kitchen is expert. The tacos were some of the very best we've ever eaten--particularly the shrimp and the pork, truly superb. AND they're a bargain @ 3 for only 270 pesos. The salad with roasted veggies & smoked ricotta was very good but a bit overpriced at 340 pesos. We may come back to try a couple of the other, high-quality dishes on the menu.

En General les hace falta mucha comunicación entre compañeros, hice una reservación para 6 personas a las 8 pm y cuando llegué, resultó que todas las mesas estaban ocupadas. Me sentaron en la barra donde a cada rato se tropezaban con mi silla y fue muy incómodo Hasta que me pasaron a una mesa para 2 personas Y si yo no les vuelvo a recordar que yo había hecho una reservación para 6 personas, ellos ni en cuenta Ya eran casi las 9 y la mesa que reservé aún estaba ocupada. Me cambiaron de mesa 4 VECES!!! En mi opinión fue muy mala experiencia ya que mi trabajo también es el servicio al cliente y sé valorar las buenas experiencias, Y no es justo que teniendo una reserva no se haya respetado causando así una mala experiencia.

I would not go back here. We made a reservation a few weeks before. It took over 90 minutes to get our entrees. Food was “ok” nothing special.

Wir mussten 45minuten auf die Vorspeise warten, dann weitere 30Minuten unser Essen. Zwischendurch hatten wir das Gefühl unsere Bestellung wurde vergessen. Die Portionen waren für den Preis deutlich zu klein. Als wir am Ende kein Trinkgeld gaben, war der Kellner dann leicht empört… Preis Leistung war leider nix … Ambiente war sehr schön.
