Mario himself sets the tone: welcoming, friendly, and genuinely happy you're there. I had the oysters and the red snapper, and both were absolutely delicious -- fresh, perfectly prepared, and clearly made with pride. The vibe is relaxed, fun, and full of life. Come hungry, stay awhile, and don't be surprised if you leave smiling and already planning your next visit. This place is a gem.

Great spot for seafood in San Miguel! This spot is unassuming and we were a bit hesitant to try it…read moreas the Google reviews were mixed but we wanted to eat something more authentic outside of more popular brunch spots in the city so we opted to eat lunch here. P.S. make sure you have pesos as they don't take credit card! Right when we walked in, Mario was super welcoming and accommodating. We wanted to get a whole fried fish and were told that they usually have sea bass or red snapper but the sea bass was reserved for later. We got the sea bass and then an octopus tostada to share as an app. The octopus tostada came out quickly and was a delicious and fresh way to start the meal. We waited about 20 min for the fish to come and it was definitely worth the wait. The red snapper was plenty for us to share and the meat was perfectly tender with crispy skin and a ton of fried garlic. It was served with coconut rice (slightly sweet) and salad which rounded out the meal. The best part of our experience just definitely how kind Mario was. My boyfriend wanted orange juice but we heard they didn't have it but halfway through the meal, Mario bought orange juice to the store and gave us a complimentary glass. As we were walking out, we saw a couple of people drinking a green juice and asked what it was and Mario gave us a glass to taste. It was cucumber water and so so good. Definitely recommend you try it if you come!

Really fantastic restaurant here in San Miguel! We have gone in for a late lunch two times and the…read moreservice was over-the-top, the food really really incredible. The chef knows his stuff!! The first time we went we shared a huge ribeye steak that was seasoned and fire grilled to perfection. And the asparagus with the garlic seasoning was amazing. Next time we went we had the Cauliflower appetizer to die for, guacamole on par with my own, and steak tacos paired with a very delicious Spanish wine. We couldn't eat it all so we had a nice repeat for dinner that night. They have a Friday night street taco tasting that we have not been able to enjoy yet, but if it was anything like the tacos we had today OMG! I highly recommend this place! They are making a very successful effort at creating a remarkable dining experience in San Miguel.

We ordered the Ceviche Levanta Muertos and Filete Huancaina and they were both incredibly salty. Let's start with the Ceviche, as mentioned before, it was incredibly salty, but also, it was so small and so not worth the price. It is supposed to contain octopus, scallop, fish and shrimp, and sure it does, if you count one shrimp, miniscule chunks of octopus and a whisper of a scallop as containing all of that, and for that price, I expected atleast to get something more substantial. The Filete Huancaina was just inedible. We left almost all the meat, it was tough and thinly sliced, and because the sauce was so salty, we just couldn't even finish it despite how much we payed for it. I wouldn't even really consider that steak at all, I'd call it rubber. Lastly, the service was such a let down, probably the worst I have had in Mexico. Hands down, worst meal I've had in all my trip.

However, the staff didn't make us feel that way since they gave us the table with inarguably the best view of the city during the most photogenic time of the day, magic hour at sunset (Photo 3). How did we get so lucky since we made our reservation just the day before? And what better way to start than with a pair of MX$340 Carajillos, the Mexican version of espresso martinis (Photo 7). The use of Licor 43 lent a welcome sweet spiciness to the deep espresso and fit the moment perfectly. We were happy to receive a complimentary serving of warm Focaccia topped with a wedge of liver pate, olive oil, and chives (Photo 10). It was a nice surprise quickly devoured. Our first shared dish was the MX$365 Ensalada Luna, a hearty and enticing mix of greens, stracciatella cheese, speck ham, fresh peaches and figs, and quinoa in a citrus and vanilla vinaigrette (Photo 4). Our entree was the MX$406 Tacos de Lechon Rostizado, a trio of roasted suckling pig tacos with crispy skin cracklings, red onion, and fresh green salsa (Photo 5). The pork was fork tender. Nestled in a flour tortilla, the soft pulled meat stood in nice contrast to the crack of the skin. We went for a second drink, but this time a mocktail, the MX$195 Chilate, a refreshing alcohol-free blend of cacao, rice, cinnamon, and raw cane sugar in a coconut shell (Photo 6). While awaiting our dessert order, we were surprised by a complimentary Happy Anniversary dessert, a bit of a head-scratcher. We didn't say we were celebrating anything, but hey, we didn't complain. The sparkler was already lit and the staff was harmonizing. It was a chocolate ganache cake with blueberries atop puffed rice (Photo 8). That didn't stop us from enjoying the crispy-sweet MX$289 Churros with cinnamon ice cream and champurrado chocolate sauce (Photo 9), while entranced by the nighttime view (Photo 2).

TOURISTS BEWARE: WE WERE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF. Wanted to share…read moremy family's experience when we were here on October 1, 2025. For context, we were a huge group (~20) with reservations that were set up by our hotel, and we were broken up into 3 different tables. Our reservation was done roughly 24 hours in advance, so I don't fault them for this in any way. Another neutral thing is that there is only 1 check per table. Not anything bad, but for large groups, please take note. Speaking solely on behalf of the table that I was seated at, these were the negatives of our experience: - We were charged for bottled water without being made aware that the charge applied; additionally, we were charged for more bottles than were on our table. - We were told a price on a cocktail, but it appeared differently (more expensive) on our bill. - We ordered cocktails with both higher-end and house liquor, but we were charged the higher-end price for all of them. - We were charged for an extra cocktail. - There was a hair embedded in one of the plate's guacamole--clearly mixed in--and when we respectfully raised the concern to our waiter, the manager came out and condescendingly explained it was "due to wind." I wanted to go through the bill on my own, but (1) the person taking the payment waited next to me with the card reader, and (2) our large group had to get going. I understand my mistake in not going through the bill before I paid, but that many errors on our bill just feels deliberate to prey on tourists, especially considering we tipped on this inflated amount for a meal that was already pricey to begin with. There are some positives to our experience: the views were beautiful, they offered blankets and heaters to combat the cold wind, and I'm grateful that the staff spoke English (most of the folks in our group at the other tables were older and wouldn't be able to use a translation app) and answered our many questions; however, I will never return to this restaurant again because of the way we were clearly taken advantage of. For any tourists, please learn from my mistake and be sure to go through your bill with a VERY fine comb.

Not friendly, no greeting, look as if they're forced to be there. The hostess walks around with her hand on her earpiece as if she's a musician. I figure she does this to avoid speaking to guests. This should have been a red flag as the rest of the service for the evening was awful. We called ahead, several weeks ago, to let them know it's very special anniversary and requested closer seating to the edge on the rooftop. They didn't take any requests into consideration and sat us near the bathroom, which was busy with foot traffic you could feel on the elevated platform. Once our food was delivered, we received zero further visits from the server. NONE! We finished our meal and when I requested the check, I made it clear to the cashier that we had not seen our server for any water or cocktail refills. She didn't care and asked what percentage I wanted to tip. Hahaha. This place has too much pride, which the view may allow. It's too bad we won't be back and will make certain not to recommend this place to anyone.
