“Very good, great wine list!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed July 31, 2012

I have eaten here twice - 2011 and 2012. Great service, great steaks. The wine list is amazing for Mexico. Empanadas are great. I always get steak and a good bottle of wine. Great service. This last time the waiter spent 20 minutes tracking down the bottle of wine we wanted and while we were waiting brought of 4-5 other selections. We ended getting the bottle we wanted. It seems like I am obsessing about the wine, but trust me it is really hard to find good wine in Mexico. Then I was being picky about how the steak was cooked because Mexicans in the US and Mexico like to cook steak all the way thru ( there is a reason carne asada is so thin), so the head chef came out and we came to an undstanding. My steak was perfect!

Ambiance is not too trendy, but very upscale Mexican. A great place to dine.

“The finest steakhouse in Mexico!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed June 23, 2012

On a romantic vacation to Guadalajara and Tlaquepaque. On another referral from TripAdvisor went to this charming restaurant in the middle of a thundering downpour. The melted cheese with red pepper appetizer was enough for dinner, but we ordered HUGE steaks, anyway. They arrived perfectly cooked, and the meat? It was so tender, I simply laid my knife on it, and the knife cut the huge rib-eye effortlessly. Perfect steak. Period.

“Best steakhouse in Guadalajara”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed June 17, 2012

If you have a hankering for a great piece of beef, look no further. They will bring a tray of cuts to your table and explain what they are. You tell them how much you want. It will appear done to perfection. The fries come in two varieties, regular and waffle cut and the steaks are served with a house salad. Great value for the price. Good service, ambience nice.
