Fresco Cocina is a restaurant that offers a dining experience comparable to a Michelin-starred restaurant at a fraction of the cost. The current chef maintains the high-quality recipes from the original chef, who previously held a Michelin star. The service is exceptional, with knowledgeable staff who provide excellent recommendations and descriptions of the dishes. The carne asada and aguachiles are highly praised, with the carne asada cooked very well and served with delicious chimichurri. The grilled octopus, Peruvian sea bass ceviche, and Cuban sandwich remain must-tries, while the burger and chips and salsa are also recommended. The bartender is a true professional, and the manager adds to the great atmosphere with interesting conversations.
The restaurant has a sunny, open, and chic ambiance, and the event coordinator is professional, accommodating, and creative. The menu features delicious and fresh dishes, including a mole-spiced salmon and a prime skirt steak, with a highlight being the spicy yogurt sauce. Lobster enchiladas and shrimp tacos have been noted as excellent additions. The pisco sour and margaritas, especially with a Tajin rim, are popular choices. The servers are friendly and attentive, and the restaurant welcomes customers with service dogs.
