Frommer's Review
Dining at La Mansión del Río has a couple of things going for it, namely the setting and the food. Sit outside on a riverside terrace shaded by palm trees or inside in one of the cozy, softly lit dining rooms, enjoying the guitarist or pianist playing in the background.
Menus change seasonally, but such dishes as seared ahi tuna with saffron jasmine rice, pepper-crusted venison loin with sweet potato crisps, and a cream soup of huitlacoche (corn truffle), corn, and squash blossoms demonstrate the range of the chef's interests in combining unusual textures and flavors. You can also get a nicely grilled steak, and the brunch offers all the classic breakfast dishes.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
