Got a mix of al pastor and chicken, all of which came with many bags of salsa (red and green). General consensus was the al pastor was great, chicken was a bit dry and passable. Washed it down with some horchata (which was also fine). Skip if you don't eat pork, but 5 stars for the al pastor in terms of flavor and value.

I hardly drink and did not get even a baby buzz from the drink. The Margarita was OK. The service was OK. Each drink was $300 MXN or around $17 USD. Maybe I visited on an off day? There's plenty of other places in the area, this place would be a last resort.

Wow! This was a disaster of a night. We got there and ordered salads appetizers and main dishes…read more Several tables around us filled up and were served and left and we hadn't even received our salads or appetizers. Carlos dropped off small plastic bottles of water wo ice or glasses but I noticed all the people around us got larger bottles of water with glasses with ice and a straw. Several parties got up and left because they hadn't even seen a server. An hour later they start bringing everything at once the salads appetizers and main dishes. No apologies, no explanations. When we asked for something like ice it felt like an imposition. I get if a restaurant is understaffed but when people who come in after are served appetizers a main dish and their check before you get a salad... Unbelievable. Maybe anti American?? Anti tourist?Who knows. I'm just saying...

Great mixture of flavors! Chocolate ice cream - beautifully presented and some rich chocolate ice cream as well, and another dessert that I forgot. So maybe that one may be just okay LOL * drinks - Miami Nice (passionfruit) and a no name drink that the resto blends into a clear drink, served with a guava block. You take a piece of the guava block and leave it on your tongue, and sip your drink. Very very smooth! Would highly recommend this unknown drink. Michelin starred, reservations highly recommended. Better to come without heels since the flooring is made out of pebbles, dim lighting contributing to the dining experience, and fantastic service.

There was flavor, there was kick, and for a very good price. We highly recommend this place for all visitors! They do not take card as there is no internet connection so bring cash!

The food was super great at a great price. Service was excellent! Hubby had water. I had the homemade lemonade....so good!! I had sliced thin grilled chicken. Hubby thought he was ordering 1 taco and 1 cheese empanada. He didn't read well. It was 3 of each! They were all fab, and he ate them all! They have a tiny, tiny shop that sells a few things made by the indigenous locals. Hubby loved our tablecloth so much, we found an exact one like it there and bought it. Stop, eat, shop! Yummy!

But as I approached I was a little annoyed with the dogs and cats that appeared to be lingering around outside of their place. So I hesititantly came in anyway. (IM NO PET LOVER AND DONT LIKE EATING WITH ANIMALS NEAR MY FOOD! ) I ordered and my drinks and food came quickly. 2 HUGE dogs wandered in and started begging for food. A patron at another table decides to feed them. ***EYE ROLL*** Now the dogs are looking for everyone to feed them. Going table to table. I DO NOT PLAY WITH ANIMALS!!!! So I'm instantly irritated that I have to keep showing these dogs off while I'm trying to enjoy my meal. Loss of 2 stars for the dogs. The food was ok. Wouldn't probably return because the animals roam Free and I dont like that.
