    Excellent service and delicious food. The Nutella desert was very good in flavor, but the base was very dry. I have had the same desert at the Palominos Hermosillo location and also at Mochomos, and theirs the base is moist which is much better. I don’t know if this is by design or if they made a mistake, but it was not very enjoyable. Other than that, everything was great. Ricardo (our waiter) was very friendly and attentive. Very good service .

    Ricardo and Danny were the best servers. As soon as we walked in we were greeted walked to our table. Were seated down formally. Danny suggested the best drinks. So delicious. The only thing that was not good was that my wife's steak had pieces of plastic. Brought it up to the attention of our servers and they offered us 10% discount. We'll that was not the only bad thing about the plastic found before my wife ate it by accident but no manager came to our table to apologize. The servers had to take care of the situation. But overall everything was great

    Yo escogí este lugar y a mi familia no le gustó la comida. Si pides cortes estarás bien. Pero ni las ensaladas están ricas, los tacos están carísimos. Se sintió feo pagar $400 dlls por una cena y no disfrutarla.

    This restaurant has an amazing ambiance with beautiful lighting and decor that creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. Their drink selection is impressive, offering a variety of options to suit any preference. For dinner, I chose the steak, and it was absolutely outstanding—one of the most tender and flavorful steaks I’ve had in a long time. However, what truly sets this place apart is the exceptional service. The staff was incredibly attentive, ensuring we never had to look for assistance. Overall, a wonderful experience, and we will definitely be returning!

    Excellent greetings and down hill from there. Food was a 4, while service was erratic and displaced. With a full staff our water glasses remained empty, and courses flippantly miss-matched and delivered. Server actually asked us to keep utensils from salad course to meal course. Deliberate training from management we would hope could correct the service fails.
