in the last weekThis was really, really, really bad. Maybe the worst thing I have ever eaten. And expensive. A burnt bun for a lobster burger? It was pitch black. The fish of the day came from the freezer. The fries were cold. Appallingly bad. The service was fine, but that's no use to you. It was just inedible. And annoying music.

in the last week10/10 restaurant in every way!! The dishes were delicious, and the desserts too. Sophisticated Mexican food, beautifully presented, very reasonable prices, generous portions, and after two weeks in Mexico, it's one of the best restaurants we've been to, by far!! The service was also fantastic; the servers were incredibly attentive and kind. A huge thank you especially to Flavio, who was highly professional and gave us excellent advice. I highly recommend it! 🧡
