“ Awesome old Mexican hacienda-style restaurant with delectable cuisine and very attentive service at a price that won't break your wallet. One of our favorite restaurants in the area. 5 stars! ”
“ Popped into this place after arriving at San Juan Del Rio. We were a group of 13 and the hostess did an amazing job getting us seated. I do recommend a reservation to allow the staff to better plan. The health protocols were great. We were seated quickly. The staff is very attentive and professional. We ordered pasta, molcajetero la vaca, the grilled salmon, fettuccine Alfredo and they were all delicious. The fresh fruit water was good. I cannot think of anything that would have made this visit a better experience. We walked from our hotel, but the parking area can get extremely packed. Otherwise it was a great experience. Will return in the future. ”
