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.

Also tried the quinoa salad and a beet plate from the specials menu. Both were insanely delicious, with portions so big I couldn't even finish. The vibe inside is adorable. It's kind of shabby chic farmhouse, cozy but stylish. I had a spicy mezcal margarita that was smoky, refreshing, and came with a frozen watermelon garnish that was such a fun touch. Service was super friendly and attentive the whole time. Definitely recommend making a reservation since it gets busy. I'll absolutely be going back.

As it is conveniently located in the Miguel Hidalgo park square. It is one on the first resturants that you can visit on the beginning of the Ruta Del Vino. This slower paced town has many hidden gems and this is definitely one of them. Hector is passionate about his hometown and in his resturant showcases many regionally sourced offerings. The wine was all from the Gaudalupe Valley and many of their beer were from Ensenada's Transpenninsular Brewery. The calamari was delicious and the staff was very gracious and accommodating. Its was one of the highlights of my weekend getaway. I loved that I could ask many questions about the area and the owner shared some pearls of wisdom of other places to go and visit while in Tecate.

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!

Something to note is that they do not have apple cider which isn't updated on their menu! I do wish they did though or could source it another way. I liked their pizza, though my preference of crust is softer. Theirs is harder and crispier like a pretzel. We added garlic butter on the crust but didn't end up eating much of it because of it. Overall, there is a lot of seating throughout the restaurant, and you can sit outside as well. Service time does take a bit, especially because the pizza is wood-fired and it can get busy. The hospitality of the staff made us feel very welcomed after our dinner plans failed!

What makes this local business extra special is how the owner wanted to create a safe work place for those with special needs. His inspiration, his daughter! This is the kinda news feed that I wanna see and hear! As soon as you walk in, you will see a ceiling to floor wall dedicated to Grace, the oldest daughter and Pizzabilities mission statement. We figured since that batch of winter rains have cleared up- it was time to jump on our motorcycles for a sunny Sunday cruise. Plenty of tables & chairs outside. But- we enjoyed hanging inside this time around. We were greeted by staff and it took a few minutes for the rest of my group to figure out what they want. I like how the menu options aren't overwhelming. You can pick from their pizza selection or create your own! From reading Yelp & Google reviews- plenty of people raved about the pizza crust. Although my order was the Caesar Salad & chicken wings... I knew hubby was gonna order pizza. :D As I was placing my order at the counter- I couldn't resist Cheesy Bread. The plate of cheesy bread came first- and whoaaa! It was like an order of pizza, but with cheese! I knew there was no way in heck I was gonna finish that! I had the smallest piece & insisted my friends grab a slice! I had no space on my motorcycle to haul leftovers! The Caesar Salad was delicious! And a huge serving. And the wings! Oh My Lanta! These weren't janky lil chicken wings! The were meaty and the breading wasn't too thick. The buffalo sauce just clung onto the wings. I was using my fork to rip the meat from the chicken bones to use in my salad. Being so careful to not lose grip of the wing! Plenty of TVs mounted- and thank goodness all of them did not put sports games on! One had Nickelodeon, the other had a retro movie- was it Dennis the Menace? Super chill vibe inside and guess what?!! Gift cards are ava

We decided to return in 2026 because the taste of the food had really stuck in my daughters' memories. However--honestly--on this occasion, it was terrible. The spaghetti had nothing but tomato paste in it and tasted bitter, and the pizza tasted like the ingredients were old--as if the dough had been frozen beforehand. To top it all off, the plates used to serve the food smelled dirty, like eggs. With that, we decided to close this chapter and never return again.
