I had visited this restaurant many times in my life and in many cities (Mexico City and Cancun), it…read morehas been one of my favorite since times I can't remember. It is with great disappointment I have to write this review.
First the menu was reduced, the prices skyrocket to new levels (never seen by me before, even after inflation), They think that by adding 24K gold leaves to "everything" gives them the right to charge whatever they want. Newsflash: the gold does not add flavor or quality to the food. It just something that locals"drug lords" or narcos need to feel success. Which makes me wonder what kind of patrons are they having in "Acapulco?!". Don't answer, it's obvious.
The dinner started strong with the hose bread which was the only consistent food item in the evening (with other restaurants of the same brand). Then the starters arrived: the carpaccio was dry (refrigerated too long), the meet cold and unsalted. The artichoke dip was supposed to have crab meat on it... never find a single piece of it, and again unsalted.
Then we skipped the meat, because there is no reason to pay 100 USD (equivalente) for 250g of prime meat. They really are out of range here. But still ask for the prime burger. The meat was chewy, not and easy bite (too thick and uneven). The bun does not hold and get wet and soggy with the sauces pretty fast, and the meat had a funny tasting flavor. At the beginning I thought it was dry aged, but I asked and It was not ( just hopping not to get sick).
We skipped the dessert because, in addition to be stuffed, they eliminate the greatest single item (the chocolate cake) from their menu. So, in summary, if you can choose, choose something else.
