“ I love this place. Friendliest service, very Covid conscious/safe, fantastic ambiance in a beautiful restaurant. Strong drinks at a very fair price. Clearly family-run, lots of smiles, great music, even better food. This was the best cooked piece of steak I have ever had in Latin America, much less Mexico. I will return! ”
