Ok this place is good if you know what to order... and I'm going to tell you right now. First, skinny margarita is delicious and large. No hangovers and less calories/sugar. Second, we tried the chicken tinga taco. It was just ok. I should've trusted the other reviews. The tacos are just ok. Nothing noteworthy. Third, order the ribeye!!!! Trust me. It's worth it if you can share with someone else. It's delicious and comes with corn tortillas, onion, cilantro, homemade salsa, beans and amazing potatoes drizzled with either sour cream or crema. You can even go crazy and order the guacamole as your appetizer, and then save some for your ribeye. Oh man! Overall a solid meal. Satisfied our steak...

We went with a party of 9. We got the guacamole, the corn appetizer, the Queso and the tuna appetizer to start. I loved the corn and Queso dish. The guac and tuna were good. I had the fish tacos for dinner. The fish was perfect with great crisp and flavor. We were a large group so everything took a while which is understandable. I did not love the prices. The margarita was something like $17 or $19. This place is good but just know you will be spending some decent money to go here. The hotel it is in is very pretty. I would have loved to have a drink at the hotels bar which was gorgeous. Overall good experience just expensive for what it is.

Great find with a perfect view. A little slow to get our drinks out but food came quickly. We ordered the guac and shishito peppers both which were great. Tacos came in either sets of 2 or 3. Super tasty- no complaints at our table. Ask for their hot sauce. Seems homemade and very yummy. They are located on the backside of the hotel. We took the path to the right after eating and came upon the public beach where we got some sun after!

Good atmosphere but the food is a pricey and an absolute joke. I ordered two fish tacos and one al pastro the fish taco was okay, but merely lukewarm, and the al pastor felt like pork jerky with dressing and served with canned pineapple. I asked for salsa on the side and they charged $3 more for a small salsa. Oh well ‍ Overall, the food is incredibly disappointing (having read the review before coming).
