I'm updating my previous 5-star review based on my lunch at Pineda yesterday…read more I'm lowering my assessment to FOUR stars because, while the quality of the food, service, and facilities are still top notch, the owners have continued to raise prices to the point where the value is questionable. One example (based on my menu photo in 2021): The zarandeado then was $190. It's now $445. That's a pretty significant jump. In addition to the increased prices they've dropped many items from their menu and in some cases reduced portions. My waiter told me that they removed the rice and bean side dishes from the "family platters" and the Mexicans, especially, were (!understatement alert!) "displeased." I can understand why: Prices up; selection and quantity down. The impact of this business decision shows. I've been there now a couple of times in Peak Snowbird Season and both times there's been no problem getting a table; it's just not nearly as crowded as it has been previously. Shame, really. I like this place; the food is great, the service is great, the cleanliness is great, the view is great. But coming in with smaller portions, reduced choices, and increased prices is really taking its toll on Pineda. PS: While the Tostada Mixta is one of the starters that's been stripped from the menu, my waiter was kind enough to persuade the kitchen to make one for me anyway (market price).

They've got a wide selection of entrees and small plates, but -- because the prices are relatively low -- one is tempted to order too many dishes. So a "caja para llevar" is always required.

It's relatively upscale for Rincon de Guayabitos, and it's become a regular spot on our dining-out circuit. Highly recommended.

The order that was forgotten was offered to a different table entirely.

My wife and I tried this spot last Tuesday. We'd been out shopping and while it was too early for…read moredinner and too late for lunch (3pm) they still accommodated us like we were family. We split a starter of empanadas (one beef, one corn) and they were fantastic! So good, in fact, that we agreed that these and a salad would make a satisfying meal. We split the Caesar salad; it was composed of cool, crisp greens, dressed perfectly. Again, with something from the appetizer menu this would have been a perfect light meal. We split a 'Queztal' pizza. It fell just short of perfection because it was the tiniest bit undercooked (and this was our fault; because of the early hour the wood-fired oven obviously wasn't up to full heat yet). Ample toppings, thin, crispy crust. Really good. And we split a fettuccine carbonara. Again, just the tiniest bit short of perfection, as it's pretty typical of Mexican kitchens to cook the pasta past al dente. But the sauce was creamy and delicious. The service was absolutely perfect: Always there when we needed attention, but not hovering. We highly recommend Buhardilla, and consider ourselves now to be "regulars".

This is a hidden gem, hiding in plain sight…read more I'm not certain how to classify it. Maybe "Mexican oriented tapas bar"? A pretty broad menu, but lots and lots of small plates, in addition to an equal number of entrees. Our party had drinks, plenty of drinks. And an assortment of appetizers: Grilled Steak and pork belly sopes, quesadillas, tacos.... Every bite was a delight. One person in our party ordered the lasagna. That seemed kind of risky: Italian food in a "Mexican" restaurant? But -- WOW. It was so tasty! Not a traditional Italian lasagna, but so many deep, rich flavors. Really tasty. Dessert was a chocolate cake that our table literally could not finish. It was so huge and so rich. Not overly sweet, but very deep chocolate flavors, brought out by the excellent coffee. Our host, Paco, and his team took great care of us, and I'm sure he will do the same for you. Give them a try; you'll like it.
