Andrea Restaurant — Restaurant in Jalisco

At first, when I walked in, I was a tad disappointed that the restaurant bad a buffet bar for salad/soup, appetizers and desserts. Oh, how common, I thought. Then, I was presented with the menu. Then, I selected two main dishes. Then, I proceeded to the salad bar. Then. I was stunned... because of how delicious each morsel of everything from the buffet bars tasted! Then I tasted the two main dishes, 1. Chamorro and 2. Tamales. Not your everyday Chamorro or Tamales, the first a Veal Hock, and the second, the almost mousse-like, softest a d tastiest corn masa ever! They were both absolutely delightful. This was a rare, surreal occasion for me, when one gets a glimpse of what truly skillful chefs can produce. I am not sure whether this restaurant is always this good (although I am told it is), or that this was its only day that everything aligned perfectly in the kitchen. Regardless, I must say, I am almost afraid to go back and find out that this gastronomical dream will not repeat. But I would recommend all who yearn to find that delicate balance of heavenly senses, to give this restaurant a try. When you do, I most sincerely wish your tastebuds the same luck mine were...

The pandemic restrictions are gone and the food has gotten better. Service on par property at 89% occupancy, took us 1.5 hours to catch our ride to property after clearing immigration.

Back to the food, tonight was French cuisine, absolutely excellent. My wife had her favorite the Mexican coffee for dessert, extra whip cream. Christina and Julio recognize us, makes me feel really welcome.

Great food served hot and upscale. We had salmon Sicilian style, cooked perfectly, with veggies. ...

We were here over Christmas, it was very difficult to get in, reservations are required, and they will only accept same day reservations. I figured it out, you need to call the minute they open in the morning, wait on hold for 10 minutes, and we finally got our reservation.

The service was pretty good, the food was not. It seems they try hard, but I don't think they really understand what they are doing in...
