The meals prepared by Erick and the famous Greg Couillard are ridiculously good. The staff is attentive and prompt...also while eating on the beautiful wild beach. Try the shrimps empanadas or the Pasta Diablo or the Vietnamese craft dinner or the... Yes, it's all good!

It's an amazing place in the middle of nowhere! I always try to eat at least once every trip to Mexico.

This trip I have to say was a bit disappointing. It was very busy and they didn 't have near enough staff on which resulted in sub-par food and drinks. The margaritas were very, very sour (I had to go up and get more jarabe and normally I like a tart margarita) and it was not well blended. The food that came out was ok . I ordered the english muffin dish (I can 't remember the name) which my friend (who goes to this restaurant several times a year) recommended. Both of us were very disappointed in the dish. It is comprised of an english muffin, ham, cheese and caramelized onions which really makes the dish. The muffin was dry with a slab of ham and pretty much raw onions. There were 6 of us there for lunch and we all felt the meals were ok but nothing exceptional. Given the pricier menu, it was a bit disappointing. Also note that they now add 15% to the bill as a gratuity which I have absolutely no problem with as that is what we would normally tip however, it is not standard practice to have it on the bill in Mexico so just be aware so you know how much you are tipping. For us, it just wasn 't worth the drive on this particular trip. Perhaps it can be chalked up to being busy and short staffed.
