Maestro - Pasadena

The standout dish at the restaurant was the scallops with mushrooms served over Mexican-style risotto. The scallops were delicious, the mushrooms were expertly prepared, and the rice was bursting with flavor. The octopus was thick, perfectly cooked, and well-seasoned, definitely above average. The enchiladas were traditional and tasty, although the green sauce could have used a bit more seasoning. The guacamole was decent but lacked the freshness I was hoping for. While plantain chips with guacamole are usually a fantastic pairing, the guacamole here looked better than it tasted. The plantain chips weren't as crispy as I had anticipated. Overall, the food was excellent—though you might want to pass on the guacamole. The atmosphere was lively, and the service was friendly. The drinks were outstanding, with the maracuya with mezcal being my favorite. The Mariachis put on an amazing, energetic performance. This place is definitely perfect for celebrations or a vibrant weekend outing!

Fantastic authentic Mexican cuisine! The restaurant offers uniquely traditional dishes that truly stand out. Everything we tried was outstanding. The live music added a lovely atmosphere as well.

Fantastic service, delicious food, and a wonderful atmosphere! The waiter was incredibly attentive. An amazing musician enhanced the experience! I loved it, especially since I was with a great group of friends—yay! All the staff strictly followed Kovid protocols. Highly recommended!

Food, music and atmosphere is from this world. I can't say enough good things about this place. Sergio is the man! Thank you for a great experience.

Great food and super attentive service! Beautiful outdoor dining area. Everything we ordered were sooo delicious oyster aguachile, Tetela, shrimp taco and my favorite seared Hokkaido scallops! Oh can’t miss the best Tres Leches carrot cake I have ever had! I’m very impressed with the quality and taste of the food! Definitely will go back to this place soon!
