    Me encantó la comida, pedí como entrada un Aguachile de Camarón y un Rib eye añejo y estuvo riquísimo, la carne a medio término y estuvo tiernísima y sabrosa. El aguachile también muy rico pero si pica un poco así que si no acostumbras mucho el picante esto si está picosito. También pedí un un cóctel mezcal de pepino y estuvo refrescante. Y para finalizar la esfera de chocolate buenísimo y no puede faltar un carajillo para acompañar el postre. En general muy buen servicio, muy espacioso el lugar y totalmente regresaría de nuevo para degustar más de su menú! 10/10 I loved the food! I ordered a Shrimp Aguachile as a starter and an Alejo Ribeye, and it was delicious. The steak was cooked medium rare incredibly tender, and flavorful. The Aguachile was also very tasty, but it is a bit spicy, so if you’re not used to eating spicy food, be aware it has a kick. I also ordered a cucumber mezcal cocktail, which was refreshing. To finish, I had the chocolate sphere, which was amazing, and of course, a carajillo to accompany the dessert. Overall, the service was excellent, the place was very spacious, and I would definitely come back to try more of the menu! 10/10.
