I asked for additional time to think about what I wanted to order to drink and the server just stood there and stared at me so I made a rush decision. After bringing our drinks, we had a different server bring our food and our initial server never came back to check on us except when they brought us the bill which we had to ask for twice. As we looked around it seemed that they wanted to put more attention towards individuals that look more like tourists as I saw them hovering around certain tables more often. The odd thing was the server immediately started cleaning our table as we sat there waiting for the check which traditionally they do once individuals leave not passing in front of you to grab things rudely. This was when we had to ask for the check a second time. Regarding the food, it was OK but honestly, I've had better food at other places that I visited in Mexico and the service was a lot better. My traveling companion asked about soup that they had on the menu and the server said that it would take about 40 minutes for them to make it which sounds pretty ridiculous since it's a restaurant and you would think everything that they have on the menu would be immediately accessible. Again, no explanation as to why it would take so long, but another indication of the lack of service they wanted to provide us as customers . I would never go to this restaurant again, not only due to their lack of service and communication we were provided but also due to the food that was mediocre at best.

They have a great selection on the menu for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The bar was hopping! I had what I would have to call the ultimate tacos. Gaoneras Fresnos. Corn tortillas, queso, thinly sliced grilled ribeye, chicharron, avocado, onion, cilantro and some green sauce. There was so much on top of each tortilla that it was hard to fold! That's not a complaint. They have homemade tortillas chips and fresh salsa, both mild and spicy. I did not have room for any dessert but they looked good. Price was very reasonable for the amount and quality of food.

Didn't have the burrata because I don't care for truffle but it got devoured by the table. Beef carpaccio was also super excellent although not pictured. I split a pizza and salad with a friend and it was great. Pizza was just the right amount of cheese and salt in a fun shape. The apple and pear salad was great. Salmon and ribeye were also cooked perfectly. Then top it off with the best Apple strudel. Warm and melty, cannot say enough good things. Great service in both English and Spanish. Will definitely be back!

I sampled a few different things, would definitely recommend one of the shrimp taco entrees. The prices are a bit high for Monterrey, probably because it's located in a plaza surrounded by American hotel chains for international business travelers. Still, comparably cheap to what you'd pay in the US or abroad. Not sure if this is always the case, but when we went, none of the staff spoke English, and I didn't see any English menus either. Not a problem for most US travelers such as myself, but just a precaution for anyone with zero experience with Spanish. Will definitely come back next time I'm in the area!

Great food, bad service. The hotel recommended this place and I had high hopes for a good fish…read moreplace. That is true. I had the small Ceviche. The fish was fresh and we'll prepared. The seasoning was well balanced. I could have used more onion but that's just me. The Quesada Mexicana was quite good, rich with flavor and very cheesy. It appears to be a chain and while there were a number of travelers when I arrived it soon was locals only which I took as a good sign. The reason for 2 stars? Despite being the ONLY table in the restaurant at one point, and never being more than 1 table per server, I had to wait a ridiculous amount of time and then had to rush to catch my shuttle. The funny thing was my server was not too bad, but the bartender seemed to intentionally avoid making my drink. He would stand there doing nothing and when she asked for the drink he suddenly had to put glassware away. It was like he was mad at her. I'd recommend it for a casual lunch or if you're staying across the street and don't care when you get served, otherwise there are several other restaurants in that strip mall that frankly looked and smelled more interesting. Give it a pass until they straighten out their service.

This time I ordered the Tacos Combinadoes de Maiz. Filling was delicious and tortillas were super fresh. Also ordered the Frijoles a la charra Especiales. The salsas here are sooo good. The habanero one is great but it's crazy hot... you only need a couple drops. The rest aren't too spicy. Server was very quick and friendly. Love this place!
