There is a wide variety of meats and foods to choose from but you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. We were seated quickly on a Friday afternoon, and although the restaurant was packed, we were seated and served quickly.

Let me start by saying--this is a truly amazing restaurant, totally worthy of 5 stars (and…read morehonestly, even more!). The staff is friendly, professional, and welcoming. The place is spotless, the music is soft and pleasant, and the vibe is just right. Now the food... absolutely delicious! My wife and I came here for the first time, and it won us over. We'll definitely be back. I plan to personally thank the chef for having such an incredible talent--every bite was a treat. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and a great experience. Don't miss it!

My server, was rude and would interrupt when one was speaking. If asked to describe the dish, he would sigh and clearly looked annoyed. No hospitality. Also, I was misled about the dessert in the combination. I was told it was gonna be flan, and I was brought out a disgusting arroz con leche. The rice was gummy, it was gross. When I brought it up, he said let me go check. HE NEVER CAME BACK. Another rude lady came out and laughed when I brought that up. I was literally thrown the receipt and I was waiting to pay, one of the hostess had to come because they just wouldn't approach. The food was mid. Even the red rice was hard. The tortilla soup was okay, not the best. The beans tasted canned. This spot has potential but this is definitely holding it back. I'll give it two stars because the bread was good.

There's a guard out front and not sure if he was there for another business. Restaurant looks really cute from the outside, you can see the kid's playground on the side of the building. The decor was really nice, on the ceiling, the walls, lots of color and greenery. As we entered, the hostess was there and she was very friendly and sat us right away. There were several groups inside and couples. The price is a good size, you can have large parties. The server told us that there could be a long wait for food, not sure if that was due to short staff or what. We didn't wait that long though, it was totally fine. The Mezcal Jaimica cocktail was delish, not too sweet and the juice was so fresh. They give you chips and two salsas to start, that was really good. I ordered the tortilla soup and it was a nice big portion with avocado and a thick soup base. Also got the Elote bowl and that was just ok. The guac comes in a molcajete with pork rings and pickled onions - yum! That's the only right way to serve it. We ordered the large meat plate and it came with these heavenly potatoes and chiles stuffed with cheese wow! Price was good, food was great and the staff really do make sure you are happy and have everything you need. Def a spot we will visit when in TJ.

I've had the huevos divorciados, which are eggs in green and red sauce, with grilled steak on top. The food was fire! Other plates I've ordered are the grilled steak with scrambled eggs and chilaquiles, a grilled steak plate with guac, rice, and beans, and grilled steak with green chilaquiles. My go to drinks are lemonade with mineral water and the cafe Americano. The food here is amazing, and it comes in generous portions. The staff here is decent, I've never had an issue here. The ambient is relaxed. I recommend this place in Zona Rio.

Delicious! The owner/cook is a fine fellow. Most of my fellow customers on a Sunday morning were uniformed police, I think from a police station nearby, but four local civilians were there also. Hector's excellent reputation is well deserved. I had gotten to town late the night before and had no pesos but the owner was happy to accept my Amex card.
