10/10! Tzuco came highly recommended on various top brunch places lists online and for a good reason.The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the vibes were just right. I will definitely be coming back.We ordered the Shakshuka, the mushroom cazuela, and the shrimp huarache and they were all amazing!

I had high hopes for this restaurant, but they quickly faded as we waited over 45 minutes for a table that “wasn’t ready,” even with a reservation. Once we finally sat down, the service improved a little, but it still didn't warrant a 5-star rating. The drinks were decent, and I must say the food was quite tasty, except for the dessert. We started with the pulpo enamorado as an appetizer, which I would rate 10/10. For our main course, we had the Cochinita Pibil, also a solid 10/10! It's a substantial portion, easily enough to serve two. Unfortunately, the dessert was a letdown; we tried the maíz ice cream and found it overly sweet. I wish they had more traditional dessert options, like tres leches cake or churros.

We picked this restaurant because of the chef. The food was a but spicy but delicious. The dessert, the corn icecream was the most surprising dessert we ever had, I'm not going to ruin the surprise for the rest, but you must go and try it.Vegetarian options: They have a few vegetarian meal options
