Mejor conocido como fonda EL PINGUINO desde hace muchos años por muchas generaciones de medicos del hospital y por vecinos del lugar. Calidad, precio y sabor. No solo son tacos, tambien comida corrida. Pequeño el lugar y se llena pronto. Atendido por su dueña.

Es un lugar exquisito Buen sazón y precio bajo
