Luau Restaurante — Restaurant in Mexico City

We arrived at the restaurant at about 3:30 pm, in between lunch and dinner. It was mostly empty and we were seated near the koi pond. It was lovely and calming to see the fish lazily swimming through the water. The service was excellent, our waiter Miguel, was very knowledgeable about the dishes and how they are prepared. He was very attentive and courteous. We ordered two duck dishes. Duck is pretty much the most expensive item on the menu. We LOVE duck, so very sorry to say, we were a bit disappointed with it. Before ordering, we were trying to see if it could be cooked medium rare, which is the preferred temperature for this meat. We were advised that there's no way to control it and most likely it works be cooked at 3/4, which is kind of medium, so we were already prepared for lower expectations. Pato Cantonés was definitely too dry, it wasn't even 3/4, seemed more like medium well. The flavor was good and I liked the veggies that came with the dish, but the meat was not awesome. It was all fillet, except for a small leg that was on the bone. Miguel explained to us that this duck is cooked in the Dutch oven. Pato Laqueado was better cooked, more towards medium rare and it looked more attractive. Also, there seem to be a lot of it. However, it was all bone in, and in the end, there was not that much meat. It is cooked in the oven, so I'm guessing it's easier to control the doneness. We ordered a mojito and a glass of sangria. Both were tasty. Overall, not a favorite, so most likely, we will not...

The luau is an establishment with a very good presentation, when you enter they welcome you with a very good service attitude and all their food is of good quality and the service gives you assertive recommendations to generate a contrast between food and drink In the same way, the restaurant generates a very pleasant and private atmosphere, giving confidence to be oneself and eat with the freedom that each one deserves. Its prices are affordable taking into account the large quantities of food that they give you when ordering for one price. Reasonable for all this, I recommend this restaurant 100% and I would go again without hesitation. The day I visited it, i spent $500 pesos, already counting the drinks and dishes, which by the way have a very good presentation. I will definitely go back and would definitely recommend this place....

The restaurant is cute, especially when sitting next to the pond with fish. You get free tea, fried noodles, chili oil and ketchup. The price is definitely on the higher point and we came here after a recommendation. Though I felt rather disappointed, staff keeps staring at you and basically all of the food was almost tasteless and meat was dry. We got family dinner number 2 (it's a large portion that 2 adults could not finish, but the waiter tried to make us believe we will need more). Also the cookie make me laugh, what a joke...

My partner enjoyed it more than I did but operall we would rate the food as 5.5 out of 10, considering the price I would appreciate more flavor. Make your own conclusion but I won't...
