    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.

    SO FIRE

    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.

    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!

Empanadas - Chicken and Beef - $4.89 each - The pastry is flakey and filled with delicious meat. Unfortunately, they were out of the pulled pork with mango BBQ, so we tried chicken and beef. Both were excellent, I wouldn't rank one above another. It comes with a side of garlic cilantro sauce, and it's to die for. Yeah, they aren't cheap, but holy hell they are fantastic. I've never had an empanada that I thought, "Hey, I'd buy this again," until now. Seriously, this is a must try. 5/5 stars. Tres Leches Cake - $5.99 - Here again, same thought, "I never had a tres leches cake I'd ever buy again," until now. This was really good. The cake held up on its own, and the milk was sweet but not overly sweet. Hubby said this was the best tres leches cake he has tried, and I definitely agree with that. 5/5 stars. Senoritas - $5.69 - Now, I didn't realize how sweet this pastry was. When we arrived, there wasn't much left to choose from in the dessert case, so we picked the two left in the case (this and the tres leches cake). This you NEED to pair with coffee. It's good, but overly sweet. It would have been nice to have a warning that we should be buying coffee with it. I picked the chocolate flavor, and it would have worked really well with coffee. The other two flavors were espresso and vanilla. 4/5 stars. Service is always friendly. Ambiance is still nice. There's some board games for people to play in the back of the restaurant. My only concern is that the tables are a little sticky. If someone could just clean the tables more often, that would be great. You need to come here. You don't want to miss out on this place.

Looked like an interesting place. Goodness, it was NOT disappointing! Vibe inside was eclectic, colorful, and fun. Our server was fabulous! Friendly but not obtrusive. Knew the menu well. Did everything with a smile! We started with their fresh made guac and the best freshly made tortilla chips we've ever had in a restaurant. We shared the verde salad...spinach, arugula, chocio corn, white beans, grilled avocado slices, jicama, pepitas, honey garlic dressing. Kinda exciting to get a salad unlike any other! So good! Hubby had the Chochinita Pibil...yucatan slow-roasted pork with all the fixings (look at the menu for details) and accompanied by their freshly made, banana leaf wrapped corn tortillas. I had the Peruvian Street Chicken, stacked high on the plate with, among other things, olive tapenade and the most delicious charred lightly smashed potatoes. It was HUGE and easily could have served 2-3 people (needless to say, we doggie-bagged mire than half of it!). Again, unique and taste-bud exploding flavors! Hubby tried, and enjoyed, their hose brewed Mexican lager which he says was crisp and malty. I cannot fail to mention the beverage I tried (on server's recommendation), the Mole Dream Mezcalita.

We arrived fairly early, which gave us the opportunity to chat with our bartender, Aurelia. She was exceptional--knowledgeable about the menu, thoughtful with her recommendations, and genuinely seemed to enjoy helping us put together a great meal. I started with the Mole Dream Mezcalita, and it was unlike anything I've had before. Sweet, savory, smoky and beautifully balanced without any one flavor overpowering the others. We shared the elote, which was outstanding on its own, but the house-made tortilla chips completely elevated it. It's such a simple detail, but those are the little things that distinguish a really good restaurant from a memorable one. My husband ordered the Seafood Cataplana and was blown away by both the presentation and depth of flavor. Aurelia suggested adding rice to soak up the sauce, and she was absolutely right--you don't want to leave any of that sauce behind! I had the Cochinita Pibil, and it was equally impressive. The pork was cooked perfectly, and the combination of flavors was complex, interesting and beautifully balanced. For dessert, we once again trusted Aurelia and ordered the tres leches. WOW. Rich, delicious and the perfect finish to an already exceptional meal. The service deserves its own mention. As the evening progressed and the restaurant filled up, it was impressive to watch the team behind the bar. They operated like a well-oiled machine, constantly helping one another and anticipating what needed to be done. That kind of teamwork translates directly into the guest experience, and it showed. Even as the place became packed, the level of service never slipped. And Aurelia was simply outstanding from beginning to end. We've only eaten at one other restaurant that immediately came to mind as comparable--The Mission in Old Town Scottsdale, Arizona. That's a pretty high bar for us, so we're thrilled to have found somewhere that delivers this kind of experience much closer to home in Fort Wayne. Creative cocktails, beautifully executed food, thoughtful presentation and genuinely exceptional service. This wasn't just a great dinner--it was a great dining experience. We will absolutely be back.

The ambiance is laid-back urban sophistication and a stong Spanish flavor. Such a feel-good setting, and I felt like I was back in New York for a bit. Especially with my first impression that it was a very tiny cozy place, 10 or so bar seats, two 2-tops and an SRO window counter. But I later learned of the much bigger dining room that was not in use when we visited on Sunday afternoon. Additionally there is covered outdoor seating (not an option at present with all these rainstorms). Our server was such a gentleman, so helpful, prompt, kind, engaging and attentive. I'm sorry I didn't get his name but I hope we'll see him again on a future Sunday. The food is just off the charts, unique, lovingly prepared, high quality, incredible flavor combinations, nicely presented, and so delicious. My husband and I shared Curry Chicken Sliders (perfect level of warming curry, soft bun plus crispy fresh greens), Brussel Sprouts (tender crisp, lightly glazed perfection; there is a choice of glazes, might try the honey next time), Meatballs (light in texture, hearty in seasoning, in a wonderful sauce), and the amazing bacon-wrapped dates which are indescribable. Just. Get. Them. We loved all four dishes and I'd be hard pressed to pick a favorite. Food arrived at a good pace. Lots of wines from the Iberian peninsula, three craft beers on tap and a full bar.

This was actually my second visit here - I never wrote a review of my first time eating at Caracas Bistro about a year and a half ago.

The only two waiters worked their BUTTS off, taking care of everyone. 10/10 for our funny and caring server, that's for sure. This time, my boyfriend and I ordered the following for our lunch. I ordered us a side of yuca fries ($4) with guasacaca sauce ($0.50) for an appetizer. Yuca fries are pretty filling - we received 4 pieces in our order. My bf ordered a custom Venezuelan Bowl with chorizo sausage ($16) while I had the Caracas Sampler ($15). The sampler included two mini arepas (I got minis of the pabellon and the rumbera arepas - both meat heavy types), two tequenos, and two cachapas, corn cakes topped with a soft, melted Venezuelan white cheese. Surprisingly, my favorite of the trio were the tequenos, basically fried mozzarella sticks wrapped in what tasted like Pillsbury croissant dough! Yummy yummy! Five stars all around for our great waiter, great food, and great prices! Our total bill after tax and tip was a little over $45. I didn't see a credit card fee on the bill, just fyi.
