Jabalina

We had such a great experience here! The outdoor patio has such a beautiful, relaxed vibe. It’s perfect for catching up with friends. The food was delicious, the drinks were well-made, and everything came out fresh and flavorful. What really stood out was the staff. We had a large table, and they handled it so smoothly. Everyone was attentive, friendly, and patient, which made the whole experience even better. The only small downside was that it was particularly windy that day, and a few leaves ended up falling into our food and drinks since we were seated outside. Of course, that’s part of patio dining and not really the restaurant’s fault - just something to keep in mind on windy days. Overall, we’d absolutely come back and would definitely recommend it for the atmosphere alone!

The space was so grounding and the ambience was inviting. At 1 point a server walked around with palo santo to cleanse the space. It was amazing. The food was outstanding. We started with chicharrons and different salsas (this is complimentary) then we had the cauliflower, octopus ceviche, and 7 ashes steak. Chefs kiss. The seasoning on the steak was insane and the cauliflower was so tender. The octopus ceviche was the best I’ve ever had, it was citrusy but also fruity which was an interesting balance. There was also a crunchy herb on top that really gave it that umph.

Jabalina delivered a memorable meal with both flavor and hospitality. From the start, the service was attentive, friendly, and well paced. The guacamole arrived fresh and vibrant, setting the tone. Shrimp tacos were crisp and bright, while the beef ribs were tender, smoky, and deeply satisfying. The skirt steak was cooked perfectly, juicy with a great char, and paired well with a refreshing salad. Even the fried cauliflower impressed, crunchy outside and flavorful within. Portions felt generous without being heavy, and everything came out promptly. Jabalina balances bold cooking with warm service, making it a spot we’d gladly return to for casual nights or celebratory dinners with friends alike often.

Excellent food and service. Everyone was so kind and they even had a server who spoke some english, which was so incredibly kind and helpful. The drinks are all made fresh, the food was supremely flavorful, and the desserts were warm and balanced the meal perfectly. From the service to the food to the drinks to the smoke cleansing thing they did, the whole experience was just a treat. We were so tickled every step of the way throughout our meal. Several other tables seemed to be celebrating birthdays and got cakes with sparkler like pieces. This is a place I will definitely come back to visit next time im in Monterrey.

Wow. Absolutely a perfect gem. We ended out visit to Monterrey here. Visited a lot of restaurants but this was the absolute best. The service from the moment we walked in was perfect. Servers all were very polite and courteous. The drinks couldn't be better. The food was flavorful and cooked to perfection. The prices were so good. We spent equivalent to $150 for 2 people including several drinks. Appetizer 2 main dishes and dessert. Definitely a must. The music. The atmosphere is unbeatable

Let me just start by saying that this is a Micheline star awarded restaurant and there is a reason for it. Deep in the downtown are of Monterrey by the Macroplaza, this restaurant is huge. It has a super friendly and amazingly trained staff, a huge bar and they can make you any drink you want. They have lots of tacos, and a melted cheese appetizer you need to get. But they are best known for their special steak and dessert. Need to try them for sure

The food was average overall—I would say this is more of a good spot to chat with friends or coworkers rather than a place you visit for an outstanding culinary experience. The service was fine, attentive enough, though nothing remarkable. I ordered the octopus based on recommendations, but it turned out to be rather forgettable and didn’t leave much of an impression. The highlight of our visit was definitely the cocktails, which were well-prepared and enjoyable.

Excellent traditional Mexican food with an elevated flair. Delicious chilaquiles with chicharrón, tamales, and cocktails.
