Great food! Super great ambiance with natural flowers and nice furniture. It's even very romantic! The wait staff is also super nice, they even remembered one of my friends i was dining with who hadn't been there in years! The food is also quite yummy and very fast service. They also have giant menus that make it easy to see. Nothing bad to report honestly, only been there once though.

If you are looking for traditional Mexican food don’t let the name fool you. It’s more an Italian restaurant with a Spanish flare.
It looks like an old, authentic Italian restaurant (old). Outside it looks like a Spanish villa with some ancient statues and murals, it definitely needs some TLC. It’s a review so we give our opinion based on others experiences. The food is good but not great. The portions are just enough for you to eat and leave still feeling hungry even though you had appetizer, main and dessert. Chocolate cake a 3, Passion fruit mousse/tart 3, coconut cream good 4.
Service its a 5, excellent!!!!!!! They are very attentive, amicable, knowledgeable.
Don’t think that you are in Mexico and food it’s cheap. You pay as much you would pay if you would go to an US Italian restaurant. Prices are a bit to high for my opinion.
The neighborhood is sketchy. We didn’t feel like walking around the Square/stores/food tents (but I still want to).
Three people, 3 appetizers, 3 fajitas, 3 desserts, 1 beer, soda, lemonade $145 with 20% gratuity.

Heard many good things about it and wanted to give it a try.
Service was ok. I ordered a Mexican traditional appetizer (based in the server said), and the chef’s recommendation of the day. Overall is ok but have to say it was disappointed. The appetizer was melted cheese on crepes; the fish, flavor was interesting, but it was burned on one side. And I thought it was the Mexican way of this dish. The waiter was surprised and told me he was going to ask the chef but no answer after. Maybe it was the wrong dish I ordered but not as good as thought it would be.

What a beautiful place and amazing service! From the host to all of our waiters, everyone was so kind. The food tasted amazing, we got the Amaranth fish, guacamole, Mexican crepes, and passion fruit mouse and coconut parfait. They all tasted fresh and amazing! Parking was a bit hard, we had to park close to the parking area in Las Palapas.

Had lunch at this beautiful restaurant today. We tried the grouper, soft shell crab and some sangria and other drinks and passion fruit mousse. Everything was really delectable. The presentation was lovely, the service was 5 stars and I love the music and the ambiance of the atmosphere.

We’ve been to this restaurant since the mid to late 90’s and again has not disappointed. My wife and I came to celebrate my 60th birthday and had a nice time and great dinner. Our server Muse was very attentive and friendly as was the host/maitre d’ (did not get his name) was fantastic and helpful, we never feel rushed when we come here, it’s quite and you can talk. They have an outdoor garden area or dine inside. The restaurant is downtown and away from the hotel zone(15-25 min)and tourists, taxi best way to get to and from. If you’re looking to get away from resort food we recommend. We come here as one of our favorite restaurants.

Delicious. Amazing atmosphere and the staff was even better. We got the ceviche (the best I’ve had yet). Some of the best food in the city. Would definitely recommend making a stop here during your trip.
