Lugar con una decoración muy fuera de lo normal pero agradable a la vista (hablo de una colección de campanas muy genial y una pecera con ranas y tortugas). En general, la atención es increíble, el chico que suele atender le sabe a ser mesero (aparte de que es súper amable y atento). En cuanto a la comida, me ha gustado mucho el sazón del lugar y sí quieres te dan doble porción de agua (tienes que hablar o te lo ofrecen, leí otra opinión de que según te dan únicamente 1, y no es cierto). -El baño siempre está limpio. -Puedes sentarte en la parte de afuera del lugar, hay mucha vegetación. (Recomendado si no está lloviendo claro). -Ofrecen postre y una variedad de guisados ricos. No queda más que decir que, la comida y la atención está mejor que en muchos lugares cerca de ahí (soy estudiante a punto de titularme en la UNAM, y he comido en todos los lugares de ahí). Ve un día no te arrepentirás. -9/10
