• Chinese • North Park
Booked 28 times today
Among my chef friends and the epicurean elites, aka “foodies”, the conversation around great Chinese food was always centered around authenticity, with classic American Chinese takeout dishes not considered authentic. But, having grown up in the Chinese American restaurant my parents have worked at for the past 25 years, I’ve always seen it as a by-product of enormous creativity and ingenuity of Chinese Immigrants.

    The server and all the back waiters/bussers were so attentive. They constantly checked in and offered water when we were low, cleared plates at a perfect pace and the food was absolutely delightful. We could not believe the flavors we were tasting with every plate, explosions of beautiful combinations of flavors. It was a night to remember! Thank you everyone 😘

    Had another fantastic experience at Quixote, located inside the beautiful Lafayette hotel. Once again, this popular restaurant group truly impressed us. From the moment we arrived, the service was warm and welcoming. Jessy, our server, provided excellent attention throughout the evening and helped make the experience even more enjoyable. The menu is filled with creative and flavorful dishes that immediately make you start planning your next visit just to continue exploring everything they offer. The setting and decor were phenomenal, with every little detail thoughtfully executed and adding to the overall atmosphere. We tried the masa doughnut with crab, which ended up being our favorite dish of the night, along with the memelita and the tamal. For the main course, we shared the BBQ chamoy ribs, and finished with the fritters for dessert, an excellent combination from start to finish. Highly recommended, and we will definitely be back.
