We chose to do the tasting menu with the non-alcoholic paired beverages, and it was quite possibly the best meal I’ve ever had! Everything about our time at Quetzal was outstanding, but a special shoutout to the thoughtfully crafted and curated beverage pairings. So impressed by the care that went into creating each drink, and of course the amazing food that accompanied them. Can’t recommend it enough!
