Oh what a brilliant little restaurant! The food is fantastic and the menu is a lot more funky and varies - with Mexican specialties from different regions and delicious drinks. There’s even a game to play while you wait for your food! We had a great time - I’m glad I ran into this place!

Hands down the best food we’ve had in all of Mexico. The place itself is super charming, with a cozy, welcoming vibe. The service is extremely friendly, attentive, and just amazing. If you’re anywhere near, do not miss this spot. Total gem!

The best food in Valladolid! When you are in Valladolid, don‘t miss this place. It was so delicous. I‘ve ordered 2 meals cause it was so good!! They have food especially of central Mexico to offer. Service so kind. The owner gave us a recommendation for an Cenote as well.

Wonderful little place with excellent vegan options. Our server was charming and nice, offering service in English. The food was fantastic. We were apparently early enough to get a seat without a reservation, but we did see people get turned away, so call ahead.

This hidden little gem was the best service we've had since arriving in Mexico! The waitress was fluent in English, charming, very helpful, great with the kids and brought us games to play while waiting for the food. The atmosphere in the back garden was amazing! We ordered three dishes and a side of guacamole with beef slices on top. Everything was delicious, kids loved it, the beers were cold and the sodas were huge. 10/10 experience!

We had a fantastic dining experience here! The food was absolutely delicious, and the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Even though we didn’t have a reservation, they kindly offered us the option to wait at the bar, which was a great start to the evening. The complimentary shot, given as part of a fun little game, added a unique and entertaining touch to our visit. Every dish we tried was full of flavor, and we appreciated the thoughtful details, like having bug spray available at the table. Overall, a wonderful atmosphere and an experience we’d happily repeat!

Family owned and operated. Excellent food. Top notch drinks. Service is personalized, friendly and welcoming. The owner speaks English which helped our family learn about the food, tequila (made in house), and area of the neighborhood. Come here! You won’t regret it!

By far the most flavorful and generous serving of guacamole I had while in Mexico. The server was fluent in English and very efficient. The vegan tlacoyo was so delicious and full of flavor. I also ordered the vegan torito which was pretty tasty as well. The server brought out a shot of tequila with hibiscus and a game to pass the time while the food was prepared which worked perfectly. Also, they provided bug spray which was amazing.
