I have to give this place 5 stars for the above and beyond service alone. Definitely feels like a treat. Recommend the cucumber water (but don't fill up on it). The table side dishes are, in my opinion, a big part of what makes it so special. The melted cheese, which we got with chorizo on this occasion, was awesome, with never ending fresh flour and corn tortillas. Also, don't forget to get the flan. They pour a flaming liquor on top, which goes out shortly after it gets to the table (perfect timing). I didn't try it on this visit, but I was told that the dish to go with is the cabrito- tender baby goat. It's a huge Fred Flinstone sized portion. read more
