C'est un bon endroit pour découvrir la cuisine mexicaine. La présentation & les saveurs sont bonnes, le service excellent, l'endroit propre, & l'ambiance matinale est familiale & accueillante. Personnellement, je trouve que les plats sont bons, mais ils manquent un peu de piquant. Je le répète toutefois, l'assaisonnement est bon & c'est un excellent endroit pour découvrir la cuisine populaire mexicaine.

?Une expérience globalement positive, même si la fin du repas a manqué de finesse.
?La Cuisine : Les plats principaux étaient excellents. On sent un vrai savoir-faire en cuisine : les produits sont de qualité, les cuissons maîtrisées & la présentation est très soignée. Un sans-faute de ce côté-là.
?Le Bar : J'ai testé le Mojito. Comme souvent malheureusement, il était un peu trop sucré. Il manquait de caractère & de la fraîcheur aromatique de la menthe (feuilles brûlés sur le coctel)
?Le Dessert (bémol) : Grosse déception sur les churros.(je reconnais des bon churros je viens du Sud), Ils étaient mal cuits & laissaient un goût désagréable de graisse de friture usagée. C'est dommage de terminer sur cette note après une cuisine si bien élaborée.
?Conclusion : Une très bonne table pour le salé, mais des détails à corriger sur le bar & surtout sur la friture des desserts. Je reviendrai avec plaisir en espérant une amélioration!!!😀
