Then we had the opportunity to share the Coliflor al Grill (which is also fried by the way!), Salmon al Chipotle Balsámico, and for dessert the Pan de Elote with Glorias ice cream. Everything was super tasty from start to finish. The servers keep an eye on you and make sure to take empty plates off the table refill your drinks and offer you more things as soon as you're done. The restaurant is located in a nice plaza where other restaurants are also located. Convenient parking on lower levels.

Upon making our reservation we were not informed there would be a time limit for our dinner. Nevertheless, upon arrival we were told we only had 2 hours at our table since they would use it. And sure enough two hours later we were asked to leave even though we were still ordering drinks. It was not as if we were just loitering without paying. Really rude in our opinion. Then there was the food. If I had to describe it in one word it would be: uneventful. We tried the chicharron de rib-eye and another steak as well as three sides. The quality of the meat was lacking and not well cooked. The sides were bland. It might be the fact that I had such high expectations that I found this place a disappointment.

Apparently the place doubles as a night club.Perhaps if you only go for drinks or at times where there's music it might be different. But if you are looking for exceptional food, it's best to stick with La Nacional. If you want to splurge best to do it in style and with great quality.
