Definitely 'german' Mexican food and German service…read more The staff is obviously overwhelmed. I literally had to catch my server at the server station and ask her for another drink and my bill. Maybe the service would be better if there wasn't 1 server to 10 tables. Food was good, there was potatoes in the burrito (of course!) and the baked beans went through the food processor a little too long. I won't be coming back.

We went here on Saturday with a few friends 23 to be exact and we all loved it. Happy hour is from…read more5pm-8pm !! I've never in my life had a mojito so good. It was very strong and the flavor was on point the waiter recommend it! The chip and dip tray was amazing great appetizer. The nachos were also a hit ! I ordered chicken fajitas they were seasoned so well. The kids had Texas chicken from the kids menu they loved it. Everyone at the table enjoyed their food. The only reason I gave it 4 stars was because around 7:30pm it was so packed and the waiter forgot my drink and my friends dessert. But it was super packed and the customer service was very good. They have specials daily we will go there again. I heard at 11pm they have a DJ I'm defiantly going to check it out.

The service was nice and the decor was warming. I also like how there was an English menu. I…read moreordered the wings which came with potato wedges. The wings were dry and the potatoes were greasy. Although the seasoning was good the food was not done well. Overall, I would go back because I here the rest of the menu is good.

It's very hard to find a decent Mexican restaurant in the Stuttgart area and unfortunately, Joe…read morePena's doesn't come close to decent Mexican food. I will give credit where credit is due; the atmosphere and ambiance is nice. The service is great even though the waiter didn't know how to respond when I said hola. The drink menu is fantastic. I ordered a mai tai and it was great. You could taste each one of the rums they used. Very tasty. We got the guacamole to share and I was impressed that they prepare it in front of you. I've never seen that before. Just like all the other Mexican/Hispanic restaurants the guacamole tasted bland. Garlic, cilantro, chilli powder and a good salt are essential to great guacamole. Warm tortilla chips are important as well unlike the cold half stale boring chips with paprika that we were served. On to the main course. I ordered the Burrito de Carne; a simple dish to prepare and hard to screw up. My friend ordered a steak with potatoes. The steak was okay but you could tell they seasoned after they cooked it and not before. The potatoes were drowned in a generic Ranch sauce. I want sure if they were trying to hide the potatoes or highlight the fact that they love Ranch sauce. Either way it was disgusting and not anywhere close to being authentic. My burrito should have been simple and easy to make but it was horrible. It tasted like sloppy joe (ketchup and beef) mix in a tortilla. They even decided to add under cooked beans to thier sloppy Joe burrito mix. It was so bad that I couldn't eat it. I wanted to get something else but I figured that if they screwed the burrito up that bad it would have been pointless to try anything else. I really wish Germans knew what REAL Mexican food tastes like. Don't expect to taste anything close to Mexican at Joe Pena's. Stay away from the food and order one of their good cocktails from the bar before you go to the movie theater next door.

Best Gin and Steak Place in Stuttgart! No Kidding!…read more Wow, where do I begin? Ampulle is an amazing place! It was originally an apotheker (pharmacy) long ago. I remember it from years back when it was a high end Schwaben restaurant. Now it is THE dry gin and steak place in Stuttgart. Over 200 gins, and nearly 30 tonics, an incredible food menu and dry aged steaks. Also possibly the best ceaser salad I have ever had... The incredible food and drink are complimented by an absolutely wonderful staff to serve you and make for an enjoyable experience. The staff, Dennis, Marius, Marcel, Mahte, Alina, Chiara, all make coming to Ampulle not only a special event, but make it feel like home. If you love Gin then there is NO other place in Stuttgart with the selection of gins this place has to offer. If you love steak, you will be extremely impressed by the quality of the beef, and the skill of the wonderful chefs who cook it for you. A very nice Biergarten awaits you outside for the fine Stuttgart evenings. A great location in the best part of town, Stuttgart West. I have been coming here a couple time a week for the last two years and this place is one of the many reasons that Stuttgart is such a great town. So... What are you waiting for?! Get your Gin and Steak on!!! Yeee Haaa!

The place is an old pharmacy, which shows in the drawers and plaquettes all over the place. And the…read morename, by the way. We decided to look at the bottom of the menu and treat ourselves with a pricy (25 euros) mixed platter of 'Schwaebisch' delicacies (apparently prepared at the Staeffele restaurant next door) served on a huge, well-stuffed plate. The overall impression is that it is authentic and well prepared. Mjummy maultaschen! We also loved the side-dishes of sauerkraut and lentils which go great with the bacon. However, good but not the best seasoned meat we had. The quality/price ratio was in this case unfavorable, but the massive quantity, side-dishes and sweet waitress & waiter make this a solid 4 stars, with a narrow escape to 5.
