    Cerveza artesanal -  Ceiba
    Roberto M.

    Buen sabor en los platillos, la cerveza artesanal y la micología son buenos. El servicio y trato del parte del personal es muy agradable, hacen que sea una buena experiencia. Precios elevados/medios pero es de esperarse por el concepto del lugar.

    Waiter ran card twice as he said first time transaction didn't process. Ended up being charged double. Confirm your check and don't allow your card to be run twice.

    Osso bucco.

    The osso bucco was PERFECT and the lava cake was PERFECT. The chorizo was DELICIOUS. Less than spectacular: papaya cheesecake. 6/10. Lazaro and his crew gave us peerless service, 10/10. Fast, professional, attentive, organized, friendly, fun. I'll recommend the restaurant based on the service alone, and the careful braising of the osso bucco is testament to their kitchen's ability.

    The octopus is outstanding and the tuna carnitas and tartare were wonderful.

    If you're looking for a place that serves the region's largest variety of taco options, this place…read moreis probably it. We had to visit multiple times to take in those options, and we can also say that their tortillas are among the best, namely because they are built to contain those fillings, unlike others that are simply not quite up to the task. Here are a few tips that we'd like to pass on from what we've learned: - The Lomitos offering is one of the best, bursting with flavor and smokiness. I think it's often overlooked, so definitely grab one of these. - The Lechon, Cochinita, and "Pork Belly" are all great, flavorful and juicy. You can't really go wrong with these, though the "Pork Belly" may not be what you expect, so read on. - The Castacan is the crunchy skin and pork belly that most Westerners think of, so if you're looking for that experience, this is your taco. - The Asado Yucateco (beef) is solid, but a little dry. Pork options are going to dominate it. - The artisanal cerveza is a great pairing with their tacos. If you are a beer snob, it's worth the extra cost. - We think you can pass on the queso fundido. It was more of a cheese blob than what we prefer in a fundido. Plenty of tacos to placate your hunger, so this can be a pass. - The light brown salsa is great, with excellent flavor. The small, dark brown salsa is a tongue-melter, so proceed with caution. I'm a pepper belly, but that salsa probably overwhelmed the great taco flavors, so just know that. Overall, a great place to get the variety and explore it. Seating was comfortable, and service was efficient, though not very chatty. They can get busy at times, which just speaks to the popularity of a well done taco. If you follow the given advice, you may have more of a 5-star experience. We had some of the misses, so you don't have to, though part of the fun is your own exploration. Buen gusto!
