But the place is also hip: we were there on a World Cup day, and there were many fans watching the game. It was festive and lively. The food is outstanding. We got the fried cauliflower, the arranchera (strip steak), the suckling pig (as tacos), and the creme brûlée flan. The steak was deliciously marbled, and cooked to perfection. It melted a bit on the tongue. The suckling pig tacos were dynamite. The meat was tender, and topped with a crispy piece of chicharron. The presentation was impeccable. The flan was also really tasty, and made for a light, sweet, and to a delicious meal.

Not awful but not worth the trip and Definitely nowhere near Michelin territory. Service was slow and inattentive. Salmon was over cooked. Asparagus was ok. Beef Chicharron was dry.

The costilla taco! Everything is Yummy!! Warms the soul! Had lunch here again. Was let down by the soup. Looks like they've changed the recipe/flavors. This time it was bland & oversalted. Tasted more like a vegetable broth with barely any mutton/sheep flavor. & had rice & chickpeas in it, that took away from the flavor even more. A really pity! The previous version was flavoursome & rich. The ribs were oversalted too. Management, please take note!

Delicious and food is natural and fantastic. Good for groups and service is fantastic.read more

We came here for brunch on a Saturday and even with a reservation, we waited about 10 minutes…read morebecause of how busy it was! With that in mind, I strongly recommend making a reservation in advance on OpenTable if possible. As for our entrees, I ordered the Omelette Light, which unfortunately did not meet my expectations. The panela cheese came in some cubes (looked like tofu cubes), but I was expecting that the cheese would be more infused and melted into the omelette. Overall, I enjoyed the tomatillo sauce but I still felt like the dish lacked some additional flavor. My partner ordered the Chilaquiles Richi, and my only piece of feedback would be to cut the ribeye into smaller pieces (vs. long strips) so that it's easier to eat with the rest of the dish. We decided to share the French Toast Lotus, which ended up being my favorite dish! The salted caramel cream complimented the lotus ice cream well and there was a good ratio between the fruit, sauce, and French toast -- a flavor explosion in every bite! As for the service, it was a bit slow and less attentive than expected (most likely due to the busy weekend brunch rush hour). There was also a smoke alarm above our seating area that kept going off every few minutes due to having low battery, which is not the most pleasant experience either. In general, this restaurant is nestled in a very cute area of Monterrey, but i wouldn't get the Omelette Light again.

Eating tacos almost anywhere in Mexico is like eating pizza in NYC, every taco is just super yummy…read more We tried the chicharon (crispy pork belly-tender, but crunchy), pastore (rotisserie pork-like a giant gyro, well-seasoned, juicy), gringa (cheese and beefsteak, scrumptious). Apparently this place is so famous that Adidas makes an "Orinoco" sneaker collaboration. All served with chili sauces of varying degrees of heat. Not sure what makes every taco we tried in Mexico (taco Chula CDMX !) extra delicious, but just like NYC pizza, never experienced a bad one here.

The service was excellent and everything was perfect for our anniversary/Valentine's dinner. I had the chicken mole and he had the house specialty, a pork dish (that was mild enough for him) presentes beautifully and topped with plantains. Everything was perfect!
