Food is absolutely brilliant, I would recommend to have signature guacamole, it is not only great guacamole as such, but preparation is an experience. We had octopus, both of them are brilliant. We had tacos with shrimps, which was perfect as well as avocado with some add ons. Waiters unbelievable nice, willing to help you with food, make really experince out of our lunch and dinner.
