  Great new place in Tampico with superb menu that combines seafood and a steakhouse.  Try to have a reservation, as the place tends to be very crowded.
  
  For starters, ask for queso tatemado or tacos/tostadas.  For entree I had the beet risotto with shrimp, great choice.  My kid had fish and chips which is perfect for him.
  
  Dessert? Arlequin is your go to option (chocolate and bacon are an amazing combination).  Other choices include fried banana or ice cream.

  Well....if you ever find yourself in this part of Mexico go find the mall and make sure to find this restaurant.  Aside from the food court they seemed to have several nice restaurants in the mall.
  
  Neither my colleague or I spoke Spanish but luckily one of the hosts spoke pretty good English and was happy to help us out.
  
  We started with the ceviche which was a giant portion and was delicious as well as the queso. If we had known the apps were so big we would've ordered just 1. By the time our steaks showed up we were getting full.
  
  The steaks were good...not amazing but definitely good. They were cooked properly and had plenty of flavor.
  
  If I ever find myself in this part of Mexico again I will def return.
