The mole tasting was full of flavor. This is a great place for foreigners to try Mexican ingredients they have never dreamt of, but it is heavy on the stomach so go easy on the dishes. The desserts were all really strange, I wouldn’t say they were good, but it is an experience.
One of the best restaurants in Queretaro. The menu is insanely creative... I wanted to try everything! The 4 sausages are delicious especially the one with the black sauce. I ordered the robalo in green sauce & veggies which was exactly what I was craving. Mocktails are amazing. Can't wait to come back!
Multiple interesting southeast Mexican dishes were beautifully presented. Service was professional. Now one of my favorite restaurants in all of Mexico. We were about two blocks from the restaurant when a server ran up to us with our forgotten doggie bag. Totally unexpected but indicative of the restaurant’s attitude toward customers.
It has awesome vibes with great decor, great music and open roof. It’s worth 5 stars itself. It is in town square so no parking in front of restaurant. The service was outstanding and best part is that they have English speaking staff. They also have English menu. The staff was awesome and very helpful. The food is even better. The guacamole with various sauces is world best. It has limited vegetarian options so I would definitely suggest having dedicated vegetarian options. Overall very good experience.
We ended up at this place by happenstance... The restaurant we intended to go to was closed so just googled a restaurant within walking distance from the parking garage... THIS PLACE WAS FIRE !!! Ambiance was super quaint, all around service was WOW!!! Food was LEGIT!!! Can't say enough great things about this place. If you're on the fence, get your butts in there. Adrian and his whole service team were AMAZING.... Chef was at the door to say goodbye... We will definitely make the drive from San Miguel back there...
Everything was great from start to finish. My favorite thing, mainly because it was such a surprise, was the Avocado-Citrus dessert. I'd been craving something chocolate, so I'm glad I followed my server's recommendation on that one. I highly recommend stopping in! (sorry about the half eaten food in the pictures, I was really hungry and forgot to take pics first!)
Our favorite dinner restaurant on our trip through El Bajia. We kind of stumbled upon it and ate there every night until we left. The service is top rate. The waiters spoke good English, which was very convenient. They explained the dishes to us and the food was fantastic. The ambiance and music also made it a memorable and romantic experience.
I would give this place an extra star, if I could. Such an extraordinary menu with so many new and different dishes (for us) from different regions perfectly prepared and presented. We came twice during our 3 night trip in Queretaro. The service is super friendly and helpful with the selection. They even let us try two different moles before we ordered them. They also have great beer. Espresso was so la la, but better than in many other places in Mexico. So far one (if not the) favorite of our trip to central Mexico.
