Fine dining-
Casa Escobar Highly recommended restaurant by multiple crews. Try the tomahawk steak, worth it. (multiple locations)
Hacienda Real fun steak place and great indoor/outdoor seating around the courtyard (multiple locations)
Montano's mixed reviews- some claim best skirt steak anywhere. Sides are not as good as other steak places. Be sure to get the veggie-skewer as one of your sides, skip the fries and house salad. The guac was just ok. Don't bother to get the Caesar salad, lots of effort to prepare but poor outcome. Skip the Garlic Octopus starter too. It was not grilled as expected and the only flavor was garlic. (multiple locations)
