Sit on the porch and listen to the roaming Mexican Mariachi bands. The waiter, Antonio, was the best I have ever had. He made us feel like royalty and truly wanted... More

The food is wonderful. If you have the opportunity, eat family style, and try everything on the menu.

It is a small restaurant but the food and service were great! I wouldn't order the wine however, the house is not good and any bottles cost your first born child. lol

This restaurant is extremely busy, with good reason - the food is fantastic!!! We made a reservation, which is a requirement. Got there a bit late, but they were very accomodating. Our waiter, Jose, was outstanding. He was teaching us Spanish. Ordered a mango margarita to drink - yum!!! Jose brought us a salmon mousse, complements of the chef (as... More

On our recent trip to Playa, we dined here twice. Fantastic food, and fantastic service. The veal escalopes were cooked perfectly, juicy, and flavorful. The pasta dishes are done just right. Wonderful soups and caprese salad. Can't wait to go back.
