I’ll be honest…I went to DIOSA because one of my friends suggested it. I had read several reviews, and there were some that didn’t make me feel like going—but I kept an open mind. There were seven of us in our party, and our reservation was yesterday, Saturday at 4:30pm. The parking was already pretty full, but we were all able to find parking spaces without needing the valet service. I’m sure it was because of the time. Also there weren’t a lot of people, so it was nice and the noise level was perfect. The hostess Luisa (I hope I remember the name correctly) sat us almost immediately, and was very sweet throughout the evening. We told her there was a cake that was delivered earlier, and she went to go check on it immediately. Our server José came over right away as well, and was amazing the whole night. Wendy took over for his break, and she was very attentive, checking on us repeatedly. The appetizers were yummy: corn taquitos, birria empanadas, and veggie empanadas. We also all shared birria nachos, and it was very good! One of my friends and I shared enchiladas poblanas and that was pretty good too. For me I think it would’ve been better if they were with chicken, but that’s a matter of taste. The black beans were ok. One of my other friends ordered the salmon risotto and she enjoyed the crunchiness. It is a bit pricey, but it’s a very beautiful place to get together. The food is not microwaved or bar food, the presentation is lovely, and we all liked what we ate. Also, there’s a very pretty bar area in the back, and a private room for events. I’m glad I gave it a shot, and was pleasantly surprised. I met the manager Stella as we were leaving, and thanked her and Lucia for everything. Keep up the good work! 😊

10/10 experience! Everything about this place was amazing, from the food and drinks to the atmosphere and live mariachi! The mariachi was incredible and really made the whole experience that much better. The food was delicious, the drinks were on point, and the service was honestly some of the best I’ve had. Huge shoutout to our server Sebastian! He went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of the entire night. Super attentive, friendly, and always checking in on us without us ever having to ask for anything. You can tell he genuinely cares about providing great service. Sebastian definitely made our experience even better! If you come here, I highly recommend asking for him. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to!

Had a great experience at 917. After seeing so many TikTok’s and IG reels about this restaurant and PECLA, I decided to surprise my boyfriend for his birthday. Everyone is very polite from the moment you walk in the building up to when you go to the restaurant on the second floor. We were greeted by the hostess and I requested to be seated by the window so we could have the perfect view of the track. I recommend to make a reservation in advance (at least a month prior) and reserve the 11am (right when the restaurant opens) so you can have the best view. It gets busy afterwards. Our server was Nestor, he was very friendly and polite. Always checking up on us. Brought complementary waters and we order the drinks. I had a Turbo Tiki and my boyfriend had a GTea3. Drinks were ok. They had too much ice and little liquor. Basically they were watered down. We finished them within a couple of sips. For food, our appetizer was the wedge salad and blue cheese. It was very savory. Then I ordered the Snake Riverfarm Striploin medium. Really flavorful and tender and my boyfriend ordered the 917 Burger, juicy and thick patty and well done fries. Since it was my boyfriend’s birthday I requested Nestor (server) to bring a dessert for him and he was kind enough to have “Happy Birthday” written on the plate. Dessert was a some sort of chocolate covered ice cream and cake. Very delicious. Overall, i recommend this restaurant and the Porsche experience itself. It’s a nice place to celebrate a special occasion and have lunch while you watch the cars on the race track! Thank you Nestor for the great service provided!

Our Server, Evan was the best and made a difference in our experience. He was attentive, kind, knowledgeable, respectful, courteous and absolutely on top of everything. He didn’t miss a beat. He had wonderful recommendations and if a plate wasn’t delicious he took care of it. Evan is the reason we would return!
