Maestro - Pasadena

We had a perfect dining experience there. I had a wonderful mezcal cocktail, quac and plantains appetizer, Carne En Su Jugo for an entree, and Tres Leches Carrot Cake for dessert. The Carne was a slow braised short rib over rancho beans the meat was fork tender and delicious, and the beans were perfect. To add heat, the server bought out a chili paste (de arbol) and it was just right. Great atmosphere, very tastefully decorated, very attentive service. I can't recommend this place highly enough and can't wait to come back.

Great atmosphere and friendly waitresses.Mariachi night is a must.The food disappointed though. It lacked flavor. Presentation was nice but the green enchiladas needed more seasoning. Calamari was decent.The side of chicken and beans for my daughter's cheese quesadilla were flavorless; it lacked salt and flavor.The arranchera meat also asked flavor....it seems as though all items needed salt unfortunately.Definitely not worth the price.The Mariachi sings great though. I can see this place more as a hang out spot to drink and listen to Mariachi, NOT to dine in.

We had the dinela dinner and most of our food was not hot. Food was precooked and plated when serving.

We had a wonderful dinner at this Mexican fine dining restaurant. The menu has many tempting and unique dishes. Everything we ordered was terrific, sesame salad, tetela, mole, and chicken enchiladas. The service is great.

I really enjoy eating at the bar. Come for happy hour! Tacos de pappa and margarita is the way to go!
