We read all of the great reviews and were excited to try it out last night....the waiter Rolex was unfriendly and unhelpful...he couldn't be bothered after taking the order, our drinks went unfilled and thankfully another young man David stepped in....soooo nice and he was helpful...so glad he came by to ask us if we needed anything. As far as the food, the avacado with lobster was great, but two of us had the fish of the day (Grouper) and it was dry and overcooked, the best thing on my plate was the refried beans...lol. Shrimp fajitas my husband had we're good...and our other friend had fish tacos that came out on a sizzling fajita plate so we're also overcooked and dry....we had to ask for extra sauces to be able to eat it....we did not stay for dessert and won't be back...we had read such good things but no Bueno â¹ï¸.

5. Freedom Garden
Reviewed By Betsy A
Hidden away on the right in the Pueblo, this new restaurant has an amazing variety of choices, a full bar, and some excellent value specials. The owners have done a great job of transforming the locale into a charming patio restaurant with a romantic atmosphere. The food and drinks were as good as you'll find across the highway, and the prices are competitive. We had a vegetarian burrito, stuffed portobellos, queso fundido and the taco pastor special, and all were delicious. Definitely a place to give a try. Oh, and I loved the music choices!

Im from the USA, I went here with all my bridesmaids (11 of us) for dinner and it couldn't have been more magical being on the edge of the jungle enjoying the freshest guacamole I've ever had. I even went back when my fiance, his brother and my future sister inlaw. My future brother inlaw hates avocados, I told him if he was going to try guacamole again, that this was the best and he'd be passing up a good opportunity. He tried it and Loved it!! We ended up having to order more, and went back 2 more times.You want real, local, and delicious food, Come here!! Also being from the USA it can be scary to travel I felt super safe and welcomed!! AND THE MAIN CORSES ARE FREAKING INCREDIBLE TOO
