“ We just arrived in Merida late evening, and we're hungry. We all enjoyed our food, it was a fantastic start to our visit. ”
“ We loved this restaurant. We got something on the menu that was for three persons. It was basically a taco party platter. It was delicious with several different meat options. The meat was seasoned and super tasty. We love it. We will be back. ”
“ It is a nice place, is inside the Altabrisa Mall. They have good service. I tried the Lime water and has a very good taste. The day we went they have 2x1 the Tortilla soup and the Cazuela de Queso and it was good for appetizer. We tried the nachos with Pastor and it was good. ”
“ I really enjoyed the meal, the food was delicious, wasn’t served HOT hot as I would have preferred which seemed weird. I requested a Grey Goose Vodka Tonic, based upon the taste he served me Absolute . Our service seemed slow/ slower or distracted, tired. She just wasn’t attentive, possibly that is customary and I need to adjust. We never got water, waited 10+ for the check and another 5+ for her to come and cash us out. She wasn’t terrible, but also wasn’t good. Positive note: The bottled Salsa/ Hot Sauce is AMAZING. Purchased one to take back to Houston. Thank you all. Would LOVE to go back and try some of the other items. ”
“ Actually the Flavor turned out Very Good. Service was good, portion size was good, pricing moderate for being in the Mall. ”
