    Hicimos una reserva grande y nos tocó estar en la banqueta a 35 grados, hasta que por fin los convencimos de darnos una mesa adentro

    Me gusta mucho Cara de Vaca por su servicio y ambiente, sin embargo creo que tienen muy poca variedad de comida. Les recomiendo revisar el menú antes de ir para ver si sí les interesa, o preferirían otro tipo de comida ;) La comida es buena, pero considero le falta algo de sazón.

    Menú con mucha información pero muy poco claro de las porciones. Los complementos de cada cosa brillan por su escasez, me parece ridículo que un ceviche de casi 600 pesos venga con 3 tostadas mal fritas. Revisando, resulta que es del mismo chef del Bambi's del cual tuve la misma experiencia y puse exactamente la misma reseña hace un par de meses.
