🫤 The score of 4.9 is crazy. Probably done by paid reviewers. It is a rustic bar with 4 TV screens trying to show 4 different games at the same time. Commentaries overlap. No reception. No English speaking waiters. It is run by the same management as the Burrito Truck parked. alongside. Ambience is z...

👍 I was told this place was upscale Mexican food, but it was more Italian and eclectic. I almost left after ordering my drink as the place was dead and not what i expected or wanted food wise. I didn't want to be rude, so i ordered the salmon, which was fantastic, but the place is super expensive. Th...

👍👍 Went for lunch and to try the abalone tostada. I did not know anything about this place pior to today. It has a fairly big courtyard by Versalles standards with outdoor seating under a pergola. Wasn't busy at lunchtime, mind you it seems most Versalles places are for dinner. The abalone tostada was...

👍👍 Exactly what you expect from the place that has been consistently cooking the best machaca and chanfaina for the last 50 years. Mum used to tell me that this was the only place where she could satisfy her cravings for machaca when she was pregnant with me. And still the same quality and deliciousnes...

👍👍 Hands down the best meal I’ve had in PV. I had the mixed seafood & was impressed with the amount of prawns but more importantly the flavour was incredible (lots of garlic). The margaritas were lethal but at 50 pesos I’m not going to complain! My husband & I had a really lovely evening here and I wou...

👍👍 Our first time in PV in many years, we found this literal hole in the wall restaurant hidden from view, off the beaten parh. We're so glad we found it. The shrimp mojo de ajo was mouth watering. The portions were generous and the prices are designed for locals. You would pay 30 to 40 percent more in...

👍👍 Hands down the BEST tacos. We had pastor tacos, pastor quesadilla (best pastor we’ve had) and shrimp alambres (to die for) that are so good. They give you a bunch of salsa that is either mild or super spicy. We love spicy and it was delicious. The vibes and atmosphere are awesome. Highly recommend t...
