AAA Diamond Inspector Notes

Rich, warmly layered décor sets an inviting tone, complemented by an engaged, highly coordinated service team that works seamlessly to deliver a polished dining experience. The kitchen executes a well-rounded, thoughtfully composed menu with impressive variety. Entrées range from a standout pork ribeye accented with roasted peach to a substantial selection of steaks, including beef fillets paired with distinctive sauces such as cherry reduction and almond cream. Seafood is equally compelling, with several grilled tuna preparations—highlights include tuna with tomato marmalade and chipotle cream, as well as the chef’s tuna served with cilantro pesto and saffron rice. To begin, a creative assortment of tacos features fillings like tuna, marlin, beef and shrimp, offering bold, satisfying flavors. Vegetarian diners will also find appealing options, with dishes showcasing ingredients such as portobello mushrooms, cauliflower and beets. Be sure to save room for dessert, particularly the regional favorite pastel de elote—a sweet corn cake that falls somewhere between a delicate sponge and a custard-like bread pudding. Adding an element of fun, select evenings include a roaming magician who performs tableside, creating a memorable and engaging element to the meal.
