I ate on the patio out front with some new pals, but those eating inside the courtyard got a special treat. Though these photos get at some of the beauty of the place, they don't reflect its size. The gardens out back are enormous and there are probably eight additional dining rooms all made up in what felt perfectly 18th century Mexican. The structure was turned into a hacienda in 1776.
