Awesome place, we came here twice during our two day stay. It's a home of a late painter that includes a medium and a restaurant. A good selection of craft beers ana delicious snacks to go along (like guacamole with the local smoked meat or cheese fondue) in a nice relaxing jungle setting.

When we walked into the restaurant in the evening, I literally said, "Wow!" Actually I've been to a few restaurants with the big courtyard full of plants, but this was especially beautiful and well done. The service was impeccable: multiple people took care of us and we never went without a drink or anything we needed. The menu is actually creative and interesting. I didn't get the strawberry-chipotle pasta even though it actually sounded good; I played it safe with the teriyaki tuna tacos. They were really good! We also tried multiple cocktails and they were all very good and beautifully presented. I only regret that the appetizers were quite big so I couldn't finish my meal! It's a very nice place!
Beautiful garden and great food. My fave place by far in valladolid. The quality price is right on point. The flight of beers for 159 was delicious. Great stout and the IPA was delicious. Queso fundido and tuna tacos were spot on. Too bad we were not too hungry to try the other dishes. If we come back to valladolid we will definitely come here.
we ended up here via untappd to drink a good specialty beer. upon arrival we found out that it is actually a very good restaurant where you can also drink a good craft beer. so we combined both. lovely in the backyard. super friendly service. Food price is a bit higher than an average restaurant but so are the other restaurants in this street.
I desperately wish we had just come here for dinner and drinks instead of going elsewhere first! The atmosphere in the garden is magical; Nancy, who is a legend, recommended the perfect drinks, which are really reasonably priced - in fact, cheaper and also higher quality than the rooftop bars down the road. It feels secluded and quiet and is a lovely place to spend a summer evening.
We just came for drinks they were best we had here, the folklore exhibit is wonderful. Staff are attentive and friendly and service is a nice pace, a beautiful spot to spend time in. Food looked good on other tables. Good for families, dates, friends. Dog friendly.
The food was just amazing, so we went back the next day. Lovely atmosphere with a nice garden in the back and live music. Big up to Nancy our lovely waitress who was just incredible, so thank you so much again for the warm welcome and this delicious taste of Mexican food !
