“Mala atención de parte del personal de la entrada.”

4 out of 5 stars

“This place is very nice, it has a sophisticated Tulum-esque vibe. You’ll be enjoying your food in this ambiance with all the natural finishes and decor you’d find at either of our beloved Mexican rivieras. We were seated at the island-like giant ‘table’ where the roof retracted and opened to dine al-fresco, amazing BTW. From there we admired the sky above and the map of Baja California on their retractable façade. However, couldn’t read the menus very well as the place had dimmed the lighting by sunset time. The only lighting available was affixed on the plant in center of the community-style table we dined at. We were celebrating a birthday and brought our own cake. The food was good, the servers were more than accommodating, prompt and friendly. The bar was a bit loud and so was the music. Most of the patrons seemed like they had just walked out of fashion magazine and the staff looked like modela themselves but refreshingly friendly. In all honesty, I think we enjoyed the drinks the most since were celebrating a family gathering. Their Tequila offerings seems so fun and unique. We had the Pineapple Serrano Cilantro Margarita, it’s spicy good!! I would go back but getting a table is hard and I hear they’re booked all through the year foe now.”
