El Lingote — Restaurant in Nuevo León

El Lingote, nestled in the heart of Parque Fundidora, offers an unforgettable dining experience with an unbeatable view of the iconic Cerro de la Silla. The ambiance, surrounded by the park’s industrial charm and nature, sets the stage for a perfect meal.

To access the restaurant, we arrived at the main entrance of Parque Fundidora, where golf carts are usually available to provide a convenient ride to the elevator bank leading up to the restaurant. This added a fun and unique start to our visit— don’t forget to tip your driver, they would appreciate it.

Let’s talk about the Food - Their drink menu stands out, particularly the margarita of mixed berries—a refreshing, flavorful concoction that balances sweet and tangy notes flawlessly. For appetizers, we indulged in their panela cheese dish, which is elevated by the addition of Ramos pork rinds. Paired with a zesty green salsa and served with both homemade flour and corn tortillas, it’s a savory treat that reflects the region’s authentic flavors.

For the entrée, we opted for the pear salad with Arrachera beef, which exceeded expectations. The combination of grilled pear, mixed greens, figs, candied pecans, crispy bacon, and Parmesan cheese created a delightful blend of textures and tastes, each bite feeling indulgent yet light.

Overall, El Lingote offers not only exceptional dishes but also an amazing view, making it a top choice for both locals and visitors looking for a memorable dining experience...

When it finally did, some items were missing, and getting the attention of the staff was nearly impossible. The servers seemed disinterested and overwhelmed, which made the whole experience frustrating.

The food itself was decent, but not worth the long wait or the lack of attention from the staff. It’s a shame because the atmosphere is nice, but bad service can ruin even the best meal. Sadly, I wouldn’t rush back unless they seriously improve their efficiency and customer service. Not recommended if you're in a hurry or expecting...

El Lingote is located in the #3 furnace of an old foundry and steel mill. There is seating available inside ot outside. We had no wait to be seated. The service at the table was pleasant and professional. The menu was a digital format. It was clear and easy to read. The variety of items is sure to have something for most. I ordered the Rib Eye Regio. The meat was prepared as requested and very tasty. If you find yourself touring around Furnace #3 and you are getting hungry, this is a reasonably...
