Quite a good place. The portions are not big at all, it is very gourmet. Good to enjoy if are looking for a romantic enviroment.
I loved everything! I went with my husband and my two children (3 and 9 months). We ordered a tortellini pasta stuffed with serrano ham and arugula on top, a super different and unique taste. The burrata with everything very fresh tomato. I asked my child for the nuggets, which I also tried and they were very good, the breading was thin and the chicken was very soft. The rib was meltingly soft and had a very good flavor. My husband ordered the seafood you see in the photo and said it was delicious! Extra points for the bread they give you when you arrive because it has a very good flavor and helps calm your hunger hahaha Our waitress was super cute and always answered all our questions. The only bad thing for us who went with children was that the music was very loud.
My first time in Chihuahua Mexico and the food is amazing. Went out to dinner with coworkers and the experience was incredibly restful and relaxing. The meal was perfect... as you can see, my salmon was cooked to perfection. The service was spectacular. Absolutely one of my favorites in Chihuahua. Just need them to open a restaurant in Roanoke Virginia... Trust me on this - you will not be disappointed if you try this restaurant!!!
Simply superb. The crown jewel of Districto Uno. We drove 4 hours from Juarez and the duck tacos alone were worth it (don’t worry, the menu changes every 6 months but the duck tacos are a constant). Named one of Mexico’s top 100 restaurants and it’s no wonder why. Vibes for days (upscale, cozy chic) and a killer menu of unique items. Come for lunch to avoid the crowds. Recommended Order: The duck tacos are unique and cannot be skipped. And you MUST order the “agua del dia” (55) — today was pineapple & alfalfa! The artichoke was novel and worthy of TWO orders (yes, we were just two people and didn’t want to share such a lovely vegetable). Tortellini was yum, but VERY rich (glad we shared it). Their free bread is Lucious and worth every calorie. 2 appetizers and a main shared between two people was perfect, but next time we will come more hungry and prepared to explore the wine list in order to taste our way through this feast for the senses! A divine pistachio tiramisu with fresh raspberry finished the meal (not a true tiramisu but if you like pistachio, order it). Bathrooms are not wheelchair accessible— very small doors (see photos). Low lighting. Music not loud. Indoor and outdoor seating (with shade).
Awesome food! Pretty quick too. People are very friendly.
Hands down the best quality food and service in Chihuahua. They have no competition. Go and enjoy a nice burrata and a great picana. Take your girl and make her feel amazing through the food experience.
Service is good and relatively fast. The venue is very nice and cozy, overall a cute place to eat. The menu is small but great for everyone. They have vegetarian options, as well as fish, seafood, and beef. Their octopus is tasty, loved the dressing. The tuna tostadas were big and super delicious. The pana cota was tasty. Their wine selection is ok, could be more diverse but prices are decent. Definitely an option for a kind of fancy lunch or dinner in Chihuahua.
Service and food at its finest!
