Impossible…read moreto get good food, impossible to get good service, impossible to find the place, impossible to get the staff to pay attention. Don't get me wrong, Baja has some amazing restaurants, and the fact that Michelin gave this place a nod is shocking. if you're going to advertise yourself as an expensive Michelin nod location and have photography that makes you look like a five star restaurant, your food and service should reflect that. The interior decorator must have been blind. Not a single piece of furniture or fixture for flat-ware matched. With ighting that made you feel like you were in a sterile hospital, perhaps they're preparing you to go to the emergency room after eating there. The meal started off with what we thought was ciabatta bread, but I think it was more like Chewbacca bread because it was as tough as a Wookie's skin. George Lucas won't be eating here anytime soon. We ordered four different appetizers to try a variety of their cuisine, and had planned on ordering our main courses. Let me tell you, we never even got to the main courses. We ordered the sopes without meat or cheese due an allergy, very simple request.....sopes with refried beans on it. First time it came with meat, beans, and cheese. We sent it back and said no meat and no cheese. Second time it came, it had meat and cheese and no beans......we said no meat and no cheese and sent it back. Third time it came, two of them had meat and cheese and one of them just had beans. And by the way, we speak Spanish. The waiter was extremely upset because we sent the food back twice, but how much clearer can we make it, if someone is allergic to something you don't serve it to them. Next came the octopus, not sure if they had just picked it up at the grocery store, but OMG, I can make it better at home. If you want Michelin worthy octopus, go five minutes down the road to Baja Med. The next appetizer was the empanada with the Wagyu beef, I was really hopeful, but perhaps they misread the recipe and put an entire stick of butter in there. Five minutes down the road you can get amazing empanadas at Baja Terra. Still starving, we got the crab tacos. We were excited to try it, but unfortunately, with the extreme amount of grease in them, it was hard to pick them up. They were useful for oiling the axle on my car. Michelin, do better, this place didn't deserve a second look, let alone a nod. Not even remotely close to being worthy of being on your list.

We parked a stone's throw away from this place, so we decided to dine here. This place is a bit smaller than their other location, but the service was still great. Due to the pandemic, they have dividers between each table, and they have hand sanitizer sitting on a table by the entrance. We sat at a table close to the entrance. The waiter was attentive, and took care of us well. We worked up quite an appetite throughout that day, so we decided to go with a heavier meal. I went with one of my favorites, filet mignon. This came with pasta, and a loaded baked potato. The food was amazing! It was delicious, but did not leave me comatose thereafter. Their coffee was also good. Once we got done, we paid the check and made our way to the rest of Plaza Rio. This place is a gem, and one of many great eateries in this outdoor mall. I recommend this place if you find yourself here, or their other location if you are partying along Ave. Revolucion.

Despite the strong…read morerecommendation I received, this is simply not the place you want to choose for food.The only bright spot of the entire experience was the parking attendant, who was great and friendly upon arrival. Unfortunately, that positive impression vanished the minute we walked through the door. The host was rude and completely lacked control over the traffic walking in and out.Things only went downhill from there. Our waitress, Alaine, provided the worst service imaginable. Not once did she come over to offer refills or check in to see if we were okay. On top of that inattentive service, she managed to get our order completely wrong, forcing us to wait even longer. This was baffling, given that the restaurant was not even at capacity.When my breakfast combination rib eye finally arrived, the meat was entirely fat and clearly a poor cut. To make matters worse, my piña colada was served hot. Even after letting the staff know and asking if we could get some ice to chill it down, it still tasted awful and unappealing.It quickly became obvious that the staff was more interested in getting a slice of cake from another family hosting a party than actually doing their jobs or attending to customers. Save yourself the frustration and the bad experience, and definitely go elsewhere for your food.

My server, was rude and would interrupt when one was speaking. If asked to describe the dish, he would sigh and clearly looked annoyed. No hospitality. Also, I was misled about the dessert in the combination. I was told it was gonna be flan, and I was brought out a disgusting arroz con leche. The rice was gummy, it was gross. When I brought it up, he said let me go check. HE NEVER CAME BACK. Another rude lady came out and laughed when I brought that up. I was literally thrown the receipt and I was waiting to pay, one of the hostess had to come because they just wouldn't approach. The food was mid. Even the red rice was hard. The tortilla soup was okay, not the best. The beans tasted canned. This spot has potential but this is definitely holding it back. I'll give it two stars because the bread was good.

I'd honestly give this place a 3.5 if that were an option…read more The service is attentive, friendly, and welcoming from start to finish. The inside is very unique and beautiful. They have live music and a big fountain in the middle of the restaurant. They brought out a small complimentary consomé de pollo con arroz as an appetizer, which was a really nice touch and set the tone right away. We ordered the enchiladas suizas, which were really, really good. Definitely a highlight. We also had the milanesa de res, which came with fries and beans (pretty typical). While the portion was solid, the milanesa itself could have been seasoned much better, it was a bit bland compared to the rest of the meal. The beans paired with it also lacked flavor. We also tried the enchiladas de mole. Mole is always subjective since everyone has their own preference. This one leans sweeter and more chocolate-forward. If you enjoy a rich, slightly sweet mole, this will be right up your alley. If you prefer a spicier (like me), less chocolatey mole, you may want to skip it. One thing to note, the parking lot is tricky. Cars are parked behind each other, so I'd only recommend coming if you have some extra time. If you're in a rush or don't want to deal with that kind of parking situation, it may be frustrating. We spent 20 min trying to figure out whose car was behind ours. Overall this place is okay, it'd be willing to comeback and try different menu items.
