The establishment has earned significant international acclaim, ranking 25th on The World’s 50 Best Restaurants 2025 list and 15th on Latin America’s 50 Best Restaurants 2024. Diners frequently praise the creativity of the dishes, the unique dining experience, and the vibrant, colorful decor reminiscent of a circus.
