The ambiance was amazing with live music, it made the experience feel extra special. The service was quick and the food was savory and delicious as always. The freshly made tortillas are the best part! Definitely save room for dessert because it's absolutely worth it! The bathroom was clean, and they do have a kids' play area (although it was closed when we visited, I believe because it was Valentine's Day). Overall, a great experience every time, highly recommend!

We thoroughly enjoyed both the service and the delicious food during our vacation. The restaurant emphasizes locally sourced, seasonal ingredients, and each dish was thoughtfully explained to us, which enhanced the overall experience. Expect to pay around $100 USD per person for the eight-course meal. For us, dining here was a special treat while on vacation, and we left feeling completely satisfied. In fact, we were glad we chose the eight-course option, as the ten-course meal would have been more food than we could comfortably enjoy. Enjoy your Top Chef dinning experience!

Online info is incorrect - it cost three times as much as listed - nearly $100, vs. an expected…read more$34. (This can only minimally be explained by the exchange rate. The real issue is that there was no 4-or 5-course selection, only 8- or 10- -- and the prices for those were much higher than listed online. Google also had incorrect location.) Also (and I cannot say this strongly enough), do NOT go if you are vegan. They say they can accommodate vegans, but they 100% cannot. The server didn't seem to know what a vegan is (he asked if I could eat cheese or honey - he also seemed unclear about which restrictions were mine, which were my guest's.) More to the point, at least three of my courses were avocado, two were lettuce. They sometimes just removed items, with no substitute - and the substitutions were a cruel joke. The soup came with a couple of croutons in place of my friend's seafood mousse. Main dish was a piece of grilled lettuce (my friend had a very carefully prepared salmon). Dessert was a couple of sliced strawberries in place of cheesecake. (And included a gelatin item which I'm pretty sure was not vegan.) Again, this all cost nearly $100. For one course they inexplicably split my dish into two parts to accommodate my friend's diet. (There was no reason to split mine, & it was not made clear I should put it back together until my friend asked about it, only AFTER I'd eaten it. Again I felt like my restrictions were not really considered and planned for.) As to ambiance, the place is way too warm because it's open to the kitchen. The sauces were tasty, and my friend did enjoy his meal - but really, if someone makes a reservation & says they're vegan, they need to write back "im sorry, we cannot accommodate you." They also need to correct their online info (maybe establish a website), including offerings, price, and location. (They appear not to have a website. I see that their instagram page has the correct location, but there is no info about offerings or prices.)

The food was delicious -- we tried the pizza with beans and chicken, which came with a side of tomato pasta. I ordered a salad with plantains that I really liked, someone else had octopus tostadas, and another dish was a pasta with cilantro sauce. My son had a double burger that looked more like a triple -- it was huge! Everything tasted great and the prices felt fair. The only downside was that our server seemed to lack a bit of empathy or warmth in customer service. Also, the place is a bit hidden and doesn't have a parking lot, so you have to park on the street. But overall, we had a very good experience and would definitely come back when we're in Tecate again!

The restaurant is full of beautiful art and little treasures that make the whole space feel magical. The service was amazing and very quick. They also bring a stand for your purse. All the food we ordered was phenomenal. We started with guacamole for the table (shared between six people) and it was the perfect portion. For brunch I ordered the Tostadas de Borrego (lamb tostadas) and pork belly tostadas with pozole, and every bite was incredible. The lamb meat was super tender and flavorful. The pork belly was flavorful and with the pozole created a nice bite. Definitely adding this spot to my "must go back" list and try more from the menu.
