The salmon pirate taco is the reason I keep coming back here. First time trying it and honestly, that thing is packed with flavor. Sat outside on the terrace, pretty chill vibe. Service was fine, nothing crazy. Just wish they&#39;d bring the food out a little faster, I was starving lol. But yeah, that taco did not disappoint.

The mountain view from the terrace is still the reason I keep coming back. Food&#39;s good but yeah, prices have gone up a bit. That view though, hard to beat.

We stopped in for lunch and honestly the vibe is what got me. They had Hare Krishna paintings up and soft bhajan music, felt really calm. Staff took their time to explain the menu since my Spanish is basic. Samosas were good, flaky and spiced just right. Lassi was nice and cold. Only thing is the seating is a bit tight, but I didn&#39;t mind much.

The vegan tacos here are seriously good&mdash;that pirata one really stood out to me. They also have vegan cheeses and meats you can grab to take home, which is a nice little bonus. I just wish the seating area was a bit more comfortable, the stools felt kinda hard after a while. Still, I&#39;d come back for the food.

Came for the food, stayed for the vibes 😄 The dishes are super well-plated and taste fresh. Only thing&mdash;no beer to wash it down. Kinda missed that.

Fernando took care of us the whole night, super welcoming. Cabrito was solid, that&#39;s what I&#39;d come back for. Nice spot to just hang out.

The ceviche was spot on&mdash;fresh, tangy, just the right amount of heat. Grilled fish came out flaky and juicy, no complaints there. Service kept it simple, checked on us once, didn&rsquo;t hover. Place was a bit loud by the time we left, but honestly, the food made up for it. I&rsquo;d go back just for that ceviche.

The tortilla soup had real depth&mdash;smoky, a little spicy, just right for dipping the tortillas in. Cabrito tacos with guacamole were solid, meat was tender and juicy. Francisco took care of us, kept the water coming and checked in at the right moments. A margarita would&#39;ve paired nicely with that soup, honestly. Place gets busy, but worth it.

Stopped by for a drink and some pork dishes&mdash;solid choice. Cold beer hit the spot, and the free botanas with your drink are a nice bonus. Prices fair for what you get.

The chuleta con huevos was the move honestly. Pork chop cooked right, eggs runny, beans on the side did their job. My friend got the poblano omelette and kept stealing bites of mine lol. Place gets busy around 10 so come a bit earlier if you want a table quick. Solid breakfast spot.

Healthy food that actually tastes good and doesn&#39;t break the bank. Been coming here for a while now and the quality stays consistent. Service is quick too.

Been coming here for a while now. The crust stays consistent every time, which is honestly why I keep going back. Toppings are fresh too. Place is a little hidden in the plaza and parking lot gets dark at night, but that doesn&#39;t stop me. Pizza&#39;s worth it.

Solid BBQ spot. Brisket was tender and the seasoning was on point. Sides were decent too. Prices run a little high, but you get what you pay for here.

Came in for lunch and grabbed a few things off the menu. The flavors were solid, nothing fancy but done right. Portions are big, I couldn&#39;t finish mine. Service was quick, food came out fast. Prices are a little steep for what you get though. Still, decent spot if you&#39;re hungry and in the area.

The Reina-style eggs were the highlight for me&mdash;so good. Cafe de olla hit the spot too. Service dragged a bit since it was packed, but honestly the food made up for it.

Great spot for a fun breakfast with friends! Buffet had tons of options and the live music was a nice touch. Just wish we didn&#39;t have to wait so long to get in 😅

The rooftop pizza at this place in Barrio Antiguo was solid. Crust had a good chew, sauce was tangy enough. Ate it watching the sun go down over the city. That view alone makes it worth stopping by. Each floor has a different kitchen, but I stuck with the pizza. No complaints.

Food was solid and the staff kept things moving. Kids had a good time too. Nothing fancy, but it works for a quick family stop.

The Thai-Mexican fusion here is actually creative, not gimmicky. Seafood tasted super fresh. Service dragged a bit though, took forever to get our drinks.

The bone marrow salsa they mix at your table&mdash;that alone is worth coming for. Polomito was tender, rich, the kind of flavor that sticks with you. Want to try more of the menu next time. Maybe a bit pricey but honestly fine for what you get.

Decent spot with a relaxed vibe and music on the screens. Food was consistent and the prices felt fair. Pretty good for a casual meal.

The cabrito leg was decent but a bit dry. Pork in red sauce came out salty too. Service was on point though, and the whole place has this old-school vibe that&#39;s hard to miss. Honestly you go for the atmosphere more than the food.

The cabrito al pastor was solid, and the piqu&iacute;n salsa they brought out hit the spot with a cold beer.

Old building right on Santa Luc&iacute;a, that&#39;s the vibe. Got the Angus ribeye, cooked solid. Nothing fancy but it hit the spot.

The ribeye was cooked perfectly and our waiter Armando was super attentive. Great spot for a casual dinner with friends.

Cozy spot, not too loud. I grabbed a coffee and just sat for a while&mdash;good place to chill or get some work done. Service was fine, nothing fancy.

Solid wine list that pairs well with the seafood. The staff let us take our time between courses, which I appreciated. Food was decent, maybe a touch overpriced for the portions, but the vibe made up for it.

Came for the music, stayed for the shrimp agustines. Spicy potatoes were solid too. Place has a chill vibe, not too loud. Service was fine, nothing crazy. Would hit it again if I&#39;m in the area.

The sushi combos here are solid, especially the nigiri. The rice quality really stands out, which is rare for me to notice. Only thing is the parking lot is tiny, so I&#39;d get there early if you can. Definitely has that traditional Japanese feel you don&#39;t always find in Monterrey.
