“ Bastante pintoresco y comida tradicional ....muy sabroso ”
“ Muy rico y precios muy accesibles. Los platos son muy abundantes ”
“ Buena comida, te atienden bien. He probado varias cosas, pero de las que puedo recomendar bastante es su consomé de pollo con unas rajas de chile cubano, sabe realmente bueno, pero que solo sean las rajas sin otra cosa más. Los tacos campechanos, una delicia, los recomiendo ampliamente y los precios son accesibles. ”
