Gran lugar, tiene varias opciones de comida veracruzana, mayormente, las salsas con buen sabor, aunque no muy picosas. El jugo y el café son excelentes elecciones. Los tamales también son bastante sabrosos y el zacahuil es maravilloso Definitivamente volveré a probar más platillos. El mesero un poco distraído, pero muy amable y con muchas ganas de dar un buen servicio

Small but worth trying eatery for either breakfast lunch or dinner with very authentic and food from the Huasteca. Offer a number of delicious food options such as the rice tamales! The frijoles and cheese option a must. Ask the staff for recommendations and enjoy the traditional music played time to time by passing by musicians.
