Restaurants near Riito

Overall our experience was good. It wasn’t an average dining experience, but we also don’t feel it was an incredible 5 star experience worth $177. The ambience is dark, date night which we liked. You’re seated with an open kitchen in the entrance area. We had a really good mushroom pesto bruschetta, and for our entrees, the pork belly and short rib ravioli. When we arrived we overheard a bartender sharing with another customer that the fettuccine was a small order, so I didn’t get either; however, the $30 ravioli came with 3 very al dente ravioli. My husband had 3 large pork belly pieces with potatoes. Personally, I didn’t like the ravioli and felt the balsamic was too acidic for the dish. The pork belly was great, but wasn’t incredible for $34. My husband and I were celebrating 2 years of marriage and left a note about that on our reservation. We received a complimentary raspberry brownie? I didn’t see a dessert menu, but I think the brownie may have been burnt or there was a flavor I didn’t recognize. It desperately needed a good scoop of vanilla ice cream.

We spent Valentine’s Day at Bodega 8 in Mexicali. We arrived a bit ahead of our reservation time, but they seated us right away. We went with our usual favorites the octopus and the ribeye steak. The drinks were on point, and the dessert was incredible. We definitely recommend this place! The ambiance is charming and perfect for a romantic evening.

as always, a great experience, one of the top 5 restaurants in Mexicali

Great experience! Loved the food and enjoyed a great dining experience with the wonderful staff. I do recommend this place because I’m very very picky. Thank you staff

Too much light, the refleccion on the white outside wall are tiresome
