Hey, it's Marina travel expera. And today's episode is Xela Restaurants Part Two. We are going to be doing a review on Floresta, Xela park restaurants and area. Are you guys ready for an adventure? Let's begin.

Floresta is a little bit outside of the main area of Xela and basically the reason why we found there. We've been there a couple of times. It's this really adorable outdoor park like area, but mainly consists of restaurants which are all outdoors. It actually has a lot of different restaurants, probably around ten to twelve different options. It's kind of like a big food court but outdoors, like with picnic tables.

They have bars, they have upper skill restaurant styles, they have food trucks, they have all these different mainly the majority of the food I would say is definitely geared to like steak houses. They do have an Asian restaurant. Donuts they have like Italian food, just regular food. So it's really well done. It's beautiful.

So it's made for you to have a choice of many different foods. It's great you can sit there all day. They're open from like seven in the morning until 10:00 p.m.. Sometimes they'll have live music. The thing is though, to be really realistic, the food is incredibly mediocre.

It is just super unimpressive when it comes to the actual food. So if you're going to be going there, I don't expect anything over the top or anything really great. Even though they can make it so great, I don't know why they choose to make it so unremarkable. But the enjoyment of the place being there, it's fun. And that I guess could kind of make up for the very lackluster style food overall.

And we're talking like many different restaurants and we tried many different places and they all pretty come out flat or just like oh my god, this is so not interesting. To even to almost go in all the way and saying wow, this is just terrible. So just have that in mind. But if you're going for the experience even to go for, they do have good coffee. They could go for a really good cup of coffee or just a drink.

And they also have a pretty hipster like barber shop. So if you're into that with a bar in it. So that's kind of cool. So again, like I said, it's a neat experience. They have a pretty large parking lot that you can park right across the street.

It's like ten kwh, which is like a dollar 25 for the entire time you are there. And there's also another restaurant right near it. So if you don't want to go there, they have an outdoor, it's Italian restaurant as well. I haven't tried that one so I can't tell you if it's good or not. If you guys have been there, I'd love to hear your experience.

Please let me know. Also it is pet friendly. You can bring your doggies so that's another cool thing to do. So if you guys enjoyed this episode, please share it with your friends. And remember to make every day an adventure.
