Asao - Yiima

Spectacular and attentive service in every aspect of experience. Fresh prepared gourmet dining. Extensive menu with notation of seasonal only dishes. Wide selection of wines. Option of indoor or outdoor seating. Beautiful atmosphere and view.

Some of the best food I have had in Mexico. One of the best customer service.

I ate here with my wife on 5/8/2021. This is a beautiful restaurant, great styling, open feeling with a great view. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. I found that the prices were very reasonable. We had a great time and enjoyed our meal and time together. We had the Korean Tacos, Mango Margaritas, I had the Caesar Salad and Rib Eye and my wife had the Tortilla Soup and the Rib Eye. For dessert, I have the cheesecake and my wife had the crapes. Everything was delicious. My only criticism is, the restaurant didn't have any music playing. Relaxing Jazz or Romantic Music would have really been nice. Also, the menu doesn't have very many options. I think that a couple more appetizer options and are not seafood would be nice. I would highly recommend this restaurant and my wife and I are already talking about going back.

I've been here before when price-food quality was not a good ratio. Now prices are fair and food is really good.
From all the times I've been here at dinner, atmosphere is very relaxing and classy, from piano music to the architecture of the place it will give you a sense of being in another place, you'll forget you're in a small town called Tecate.
Food is amazing recommended plates:
Duck tacos (appetizer)
Octopus (appetizer)
Chile relleno w/seafood (main course) non spicy chile filled with seafood
Burger (main)
Duck (main)
Sweet 🌽 budding (dessert)
Any of the drinks from the bar.
Wine
And house 🍷

Nice property, excellent food, beautifully plated, and attentive service.

Salmon was very good, comfortable clean, great service..

Out of the thousands of margaritas i’ve had in my time, i seriously think these were the single best!
...zero chance I was going to get a picture of it full!

The food is excellent, the Cazuelita is just excellent the terrace is so calm and the staff is very kind. Music 10/10 too.

A restaurant attached to the hotel - I went there both for dinner and for breakfast. The food is delicious, worth the price and of high quality, from start to finish! The ambient / setting is really nice and welcoming. The staff is helpful and professional (and speaks English too as a bonus!) - the order in which they served the dishes could certainly be improved (the meat arrived well before the side plate) but that is a minor detail compared to the overall experience! Really recommended!

WOW! What a treat. This place is Very Nice. We had lunch there one day on our way home from a race. You can go in casual clothes at lunch time, but you certainly won't at dinner time. Lunch prices were fair and the food was great!

Went there again today. Simply another treat!

Great place to eat
Steak was perfect

Excellent food for a reasonable price (this in the gastro-lounge-type area). The view is amazing and the ambiance and decor are quite nice as well. Edited to add: service was fantastic and super attentive. They were very accomodating when we asked for a different seating arrangement. It was a great experience overall.

Wonderful little hotel restaurant in Tecate Mexico. Everything that I had was fantastic...everything. Prices were pretty cheap by US standards too. The New York strip was awesome and came with a small container of drippings which made it even better. Can't wait to have another work trip!

A very classy place to have breakfast, and the service is top notch. Everything in this place is refined. Be sure to eat outside on the terrace, it offers a delightful view of Tecate.
As for prices I can say that right on the spot, not expensive to break the bank but not cheap.

First time at this place, everyone we had contact with was super nice and welcoming, the food was delicious. We went to celebrate a birthday for a buddy with special needs and the staff was very accommodating. Had heard the place was pricey but not at all. Definitely worth the price for the food, service and place!

Beautiful place , food is great , as well as drinks , service was quick lots of city view since it's located on top of the hill

Amazing dining experience in Tecate delicious food and beautiful

Even while under renovation, it is serving great food.
I cannot wait until all is done, and the new restaurant space opens to the public, in December.
I will not only come to the restaurant but also plan to stay at the Hotel Santuario Diegueño, which owns the restaurant.
