    Complete tourist trap with awful food . They initially brought stale, sweet bread. Requested regular bread, which was stale too. They asked if we wanted water, which we ordered. Had to ask again when it didn’t come 20 minutes later. Waiter asked about food allergies, and I told him sesame seeds. Crab was accompanied by seed-covered toast. The crab itself was overcooked, dry and flavorless. Almost impossible to crack open, and not worth the effort. I gave up after trying to get some meat out of three claws. I try to order local wines. Mexican wines were $300 US and up. About a 1000% markup. Rib eye steak was reasonably good and cooked medium rare, as ordered. This was the only saving grace of the meal.
