We had dinner there on our first night in the area. While its hard to tell from the outside, when you walk into the courtyard the setting and atmosphere was romantic and beautiful. The menu probably has the widest choices in the area, which you would expect from a bistro.The food, especially the steak and shrimp dishes had a very... more

We loved El Bistro. The atmosphere was very chic and romantic. The steaks we had were cooked just right and very decently priced. We would have eaten there again if we were in town for longers more

We had a wonderful time. We ate breakfast every morning, Jose was great. Dinner in the evening was usually with Amado. They were both wonderful servers. The food was outstanding and the price can't be beat. more

We had dinner on Oct. 2 and it was the best we had in PDC. We had different steaks, shared them and agreed that both were tasty. The price was so low i had trouble believing it.
