The Michelin Guide recommends Primitivo for its one-of-a-kind gastronomic experience that celebrates the bounty of local ingredients. Chef Carolina Jiménez has teamed up with local producers to create a menu that celebrates rustic cuisine with a touch of ingenuity and sophistication.Kick off your evening with some fresh and succulent oysters – the perfect starter for what's in store. Next, you can choose your protein: fish or meat (duck in the autumn/winter season), both of the highest quality.From there, you'll get to enjoy a series of dishes where each part of the main ingredient is used to the fullest.

    Conchas de Piedra are amazing in every aspect of what they do there. Your waiters are patient and informative on each dish. The views the restaurant is stunning. The restaurant is very open as well so the noise level isn’t bad at all. The wine choices are great and pair very well with most dishes. The only small dislike I had is with on dish on the tasting menu which in no way was bad simply was a bit lack luster and underwhelming. Other than that tho the rest of the food is near perfect in terms of taste,freshness, and quality. (If you don’t enjoy oysters or clams or most seafood in general this place is not for you) I 100% recommend you people try this place.

    We had an absolutely fantastic experience. Robert masterfully made 19 courses directly in front of us. The ingredients are hyper local with all of the vegetables coming from the nearby garden. He walked us gracefully through classic Omakase and then transitioned to incredible creative local variations featuring ingredients like chiles. The quail yakatori in mole colorado was sublime. The pairings were all excellent and featured obscure and exotic small production from Valle de Guadalupe. It was an epic and unforgettable meal.
