Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Valle Dorado

I really loved our dinner at Raiz, and it’s a place I’d highly recommend to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. From the moment we walked in, the ambience of the restaurant set the tone for the evening. The interior had a warm, inviting feel with just the right level of lighting to make it intimate without being too dim. The music was well-curated and perfectly complemented the overall vibe—relaxing yet energetic enough to keep the mood lively. We opted for the 9-course tasting menu, which felt thoughtfully priced given the exceptional quality and creativity of the dishes. Each course was beautifully presented, showcasing the chef’s attention to detail and flair for innovation. Out of the nine courses, several dishes stood out as exceptional. The pork belly was a standout, cooked to perfection with a crispy exterior and a tender, flavorful interior. The parsnips were surprisingly delightful, highlighting how a humble vegetable can be transformed into something extraordinary. And then there was the flan—a dessert that left a lasting impression. Creamy, smooth, and perfectly balanced in sweetness, it was honestly one of the best desserts I’ve had in a long time. It was the perfect way to end the meal and left me wishing I could have another serving! Overall, Raiz delivered not just a meal but an experience. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable, enhancing the enjoyment of the evening with their thoughtful service. I can’t wait to go back and try more of what they have to offer.

We had a great experience! The service was fantastic, everyone was very attentive. And we were very lucky to get a seat by the window so we had an incredible view of the city at sunset. It didn’t feel like we had to wait for the food and when it came, it was all beautifully plated and spectacular looking. We loved the soup dumplings and the bone marrow rice was incredibly scrumptious.

A nice night. Great good and convenient to our hotel.

Went to my first Thanksgiving Dinner here at Marriott/Sendero. It was hands down really great. All the comforts of home without the cranky uncle. Food was amazing! Great turkey, gravy, cranberry sauce and sweet potatoes. I wanted more but didn’t have enough room. My only recommendation is to offer traditional thanksgiving turkey dinners through the weekend. Because Im sure there were a lot of leftovers, and I would have personally, gone again the next day or the day after that. Thanks and great job Sendero!!

Delicious food! Convenient, non crowded location. Great service.
