Stumbled on this Gem!…read more
I was looking for Walmart, because I needed to get some supplies for our Cancun trip. Since my toddler missed lunch, we decided to check this place out and grab something for him to eat. Loved this place!
Recap:
1. Parking - Private parking, which will cost you about 15 pesos for the first 3 hours. Not too bad.
2. Décor/Atmosphere - Clean, simple, and casual.
3. Food - Great! Very simple menu, but you can definitely taste the freshness of the ingredients used. We ordered a Soup de Tortilla for my son and a crepe for my wife. The soup had a lot of flavor and they gave us a very generous bowl. Well presented and came with extra toppings like chile peppers, pork rinds, sour cream, fresh avocados, and cheese. The Crepe was made fresh to order and stuffed with fresh berries and whipped cream. My wife inhaled it before I could take a bite. We also had two sangria that were also very refreshing.
4. Service - This is where this place exceeded my expectations. This restaurant is located in a strip mall and away from the tourist areas. Instead of trying to throw us out and put up a wall (like what stupid Americans would do), they were very, very welcoming. We were served by two people. One waiter was designated to us, but another server helped out because he spoke fluent English. They really went above and beyond; explaining what each food is, provided recommendations, etc. Although our first server's English was limited, I could tell that he wanted to provide the best service he possibly can. (ie, trying to explain to us that there's a daycare on site, digging up crayons to keep my toddler entertained, and even tracking down my wife and son to let them know that lunch is ready).
5. Bathroom - Not sure, didn't have to use it. But they did have a communal faucet between the men's and women's restroom that was very clean. I would image the restrooms to be the same.
6. Price - Very, very reasonable! I think we spent a total of 400 pesos (about 23 USD), which included tax + 20% tip.
7. Baby Friendly - YES! They have a daycare/nanny on site that will help you watch your kid while you enjoy your meal. The room is padded and has a lot of toys and activities to keep your child busy. My 2-yr-old toddler loved it there! Very clean too.
Overall, we loved it here. I couldn't believe how great the service was and loved how the staff went above and beyond to take care of us. The food was fantastic, but unfortunately we were just here for a dessert and soup. We'll have to come back again!
