    This is my 2nd or 3rd time dining at this restaurant and we always have the BEST service! The bartender is amazing (I wish I knew his name). He's always so attentive and such a perfectionist! The food is amazing and the ambiance is superb! This is truly a must dine when you're in the Ft. Wayne area.

    I can't believe we've never been to Próximo and we've lived in FW for 3+ years now... Such a good Latin fusion restaurant in downtown... The ole house boss (self-titled, of course) took me for my birthday, and it was awesome. Upscale feel and design, excellent service (our server Aaron was great), and unbelievable food. Dinner is pricey, so be aware, but it's an outstanding restaurant... Definitely gonna come back and try their brunch because apparently that's what they're known for.

    Service was great and prompt despite a full house for brunch on a Saturday! Casual upscale ambiance with soothing decorations and music. Service was great and the food was delicious!

    Dulce de leche French toast with berries

    So this is my first return to Proximo for many years, and man, I can't believe I waited so long to come back! Wanted to do something special for my dad's birthday, so we booked a brunch at Proximo! When we got there, immediately I felt like my family and I were at ease. Everyone was lovely and got us seated! The interior is bright, and there is indoor and outdoor seating if it is nice enough outside. We decided to take from the brunch menu--everything was good! My mom got the dulce de leche French toast with berries, which was sweet but very nice if you're in the mood for some great French toast. My dad got the breakfast tacos with chorizo--while the meat wasn't super spicy, it did make my dad drink a lot of water! I got the chilaquilles with carnitas which were good--but I felt like there could have been more sauce soaked into the chips or added to the dish before serving. While it had a large portion of meat, only one egg and not a ton of sauce made the dish get a little dry as I was eating it (and used some of my dad's breakfast taco salsa to help with the liquid for the dish). Overall, dishes were enjoyed, so I'd love to return to try more off the menu. I will say there was one crowing jewel of our time at Proximo--the dessert! We got a Torta de mil hojas, and it was a towering delicious cream puff-esque concoction. We all said we didn't have much room left in our bellies... But somehow this entire tower was eaten. I wouldn't miss it if you can get to Proximo! Oke thing to note about Proximo--parking is all on the surrounding streets. Not terribly hard to find, but be ready to walk a bit from your car on case you go downtown during busy times! Thanks for a great return, Proximo! Hoping to get back again soon!

    Sweet and spicy plantains

    Our waitress was one of the kindest that I've encountered in a long time which was wonderful. The food was also delicious! The plantain dish was very creative (and spicy). My husband loved that it was true plantains.

    One of my favorite restaurants in the city! The location along with the ambiance is perfect for a date night or family outing. Food is always on point and the bar area is top notch. They never disappoint

    Chicken tortilla soup
    Mac E.

    A great ambience and plenty of seating! We were able to get a reservation for our party of 6. Their scratch kitchen elevates the experience of Latin cuisine. I'm usually wary of ordering chicken breast but the Cuban chicken was cooked to perfection and the flavors all paired so nicely.

    Food was amazing. Service was amazing. Alex, I love you! Alex is the best bartender and Thane is the best manager of any establishment ever. Also, one of the chefs is really hot, I don't know his name though. Best restaurant in town. Thank you for the best experience a girl could ask for.

    One half of the garbage skillet (ordered it split)
    Rayce P.

    We had a great time having brunch at Proximo! Our server was awesome and very attentive. We decided to split the garbage skillet, and instead of making us split it, they brought out two smaller skillets, which was very nice. They even boxed up our food for us when we finished! We'll definitely try to come back next time we're in Fort Wayne!

    First time and the food was SO good, the service on spot and the setting was nice (we sat outside on a Sunday morning) and so peaceful. Simply enjoyable and recommended.

    Malik T.

    We ended up at Proximo and were pleasantly surprised. My pork chop was good, but the corn risotto was amazing. Shrimp and grits were also a hit. Good food, just a bit noisy with a service slip.

    Carnitas eggs Benedict with a side of bacon
    Scott M.

    Went here for brunch on Saturday and it was amazing! Food is made to order and from what we could gather they will make it your way to the best of their ability. Indoor and outdoor seating which is nice. The eggs Benedict plates are fantastic... we tried the salmon and the carnitas versions and both were fantastic with the carnitas version winning the day!

Our waitress was friendly and prompt with checking on us before and after we ordered, and we were quickly settled in while waiting for our meals. I haven't had a lot of experience with Mexican cuisine, but I love birria and wanted to try that here; as for my boyfriend, he got a chimichanga. We were immediately impressed at the portion sizes when the food came out - everything looked amazing! And honestly, these are the best I've had so far.

Wow, very nice and also delicious. Their menu is amazing. Wide array of Mexican seafood dishes. They also have some non seafood options if needed. But when you see a seafood heavy menu at a restaurant, you *really* should get it. I focused on their new menu of shrimp dishes. They included head-on shrimp, in the shells. I wasn't sure I wanted to work for my meal and get messy. But damn, that Camarones al Cilantro (shrimp with cilantro) looked fantastic. I hemmed and hawed and decided I would order it along with some guacamole to get some vegetable material in me. When it came it was piping hot. Couldn't eat it, so focused on the guac for a bit. As the shrimp cooled I went to town on what may have been the messiest meal of my life. (Do NOT order unpeeled shrimp if you are on a first date or a job interview) Let me tell you - these shrimp were unbelievable. They were swimming in sauce and as I peeled them, i then dipped and chowed. The cilantro/chili/garlic? sauce was off the charts good. The onions and cucumber buried within it were also a nice discovery as I made my way through this mountain of a full pound of shrimp. It took a while and the sauce dripped down to my elbows at times. It was a caveman eating experience and it was probably the best Mexican dish I have ever eaten. It was probably a good thing I was eating alone. I don't see any other way to eat this unless you're a psychopath crunching through shrimp shells. But leaving those shells on keeps the shrimp moist as they cook and more importantly it keeps the shrimp flavor from cooking off into the sauce. Shrimp with the shell on do taste better - they are not just being lazy here. This meal was great and I would love to go back if I'm driving through again. Thank you for this!
