| - Delicious food. My friend and I were actually waiting at Las Islitas, but because it was a fight weekend AND Mexican Independance Day we couldn't hold our appetite any longer. Someone had mentioned El Diamante to us so we figured we would try this place out. We called to see if they were busy, which they said they were but said they would set up a table for two. This place was not as busy as Las Islitas, but that was good for us. They have mariachi bands as well. Now if you are not used to mariachi bands playing while you eat, you might want to bring earplugs. Not saying that they are bad, but it is REALLY loud. Not a place to have intimate conversations, this setting is to eat and drink and enjoy the mariachi band(s).
Food wise, we had the appetizer oyster topped with ceviche, omg that was so tasty. Their seafood dishes, you cannot go wrong. I actually had a beef dish to mix it up a little as my main dish, but I can't recall what exactly it was called. Its a really long name that started with a Z...haha I hope that helps but that was yum. They serve it with 4 tortillas. 2 with Cheese the other with beans. It was delicious and spicy and I emphasize SPICY. I highly recommend.
My friend spoke fluent in Spanish and that did help a lot. Makes the conversation with the staff easier.
Their food is yummy and I will definitely return for more. I just would feel comfortable bringing a Spanish speaking person with me, LOL
