Came here one night while on vacation and I have to say the food was amazing! I ordered the appetizer Enchiladas Suizas, Carnitas de Picana, and my friend ordered the Salmon Nogada. Everything tasted amazing, however, I wish the Carnitas plate came with a regular side like rice or beans instead of spicy potatoes. The chocolate cake that my friend got for his birthday was so delicious. I would definitely want to visit this restaurant again.

Our experience was phenomenal. I read the other reviews about service and was hesitant, we may have been lucky as we arrived 30 minutes prior to the kitchen closing. Food, drinks, service, and atmosphere were incredible. Highly recommend.

Really modern Mexican cuisine in a beautiful setting. The beef carpaccio was definitely an awesome appetizer. Any of the steak dishes came out incredible with the best likely being the Picanha. The tuna and shrimp risotto was an interesting and delicious combination that I will be thinking about for awhile. The passion fruit margarita was incredibly sweet and delicious and came with the finest salt on the rim that really made the drink stand out.

Amazing experience! Location made it a little challenging to get there around dinner due to traffic but happy we got to experience this. Food was amazing as well as drinks/service we even got a glass of champagne to celebrate our anniversary!

I was vacationing in the San Jose. I went on tik tok to find a good dinner restaurant and came across this one. The food was not that great. I ordered shrimp tacos (2) orders totaling 4 tacos as well as 2 watermelon margs. My bill with the added gratuity was over 85USD. The bill wasn’t my major concern. What made me dissatisfied was the amount of time I had to wait for 4 shrimp tacos. I waited 1 hour and 30 mins upon entry for 4 tacos! Not to mention, the restaurant wasn’t even packed and there was no wait lines upon entry. On the bright side, the restaurant was very beautiful and aesthetically pleasing (for photos)! LOL!

The place is beautiful, hidden by trees and the inside and terrace are spot-on. My husband order a margarita cocktail mango based) and said that was his best one in San Jose! Then the food was really good, we ordered the duck magret which was sublime and and different tacos. The only complain would be the octopus taco was a little chewy. But we will be back!

The who restaurant was beautiful. The menu had several and plenty of options. The star of the show were the drinks! They were INCREDIBLE! I am picky and they were both delicious, natural, and aesthetically pleasing. If I were to return to CR I would come back just to try the rest of the drinks :) The food was delicious too, smaller portions, but it allowed us to try multiple things Recommend!

Beautiful restaurant, and the service was fantastic. The menu is slightly limited, and there is not many options to sub or take things out of dishes, but the food was delicious.
